apify-blocked-scrape-triage From the maker
apify/awesome-skillsSkill
Diagnose and recover a scrape that is blocked, throttled, or served empty or partial content, in cost order, before paying for a heavier Actor. Use when a run returns 0 items, when a site answers 403, 429 or a challenge page, when the HTML comes back empty or truncated, when a request fails with no response at all, when the page shows data in a browser that the Actor does not see, or when a scraper that worked yesterday suddenly returns nothing. Triggers - "I'm getting blocked", "403 from the site", "429 rate limited", "Cloudflare challenge", "scraper returns empty results", "connection reset"
Why this score
This repo hosts 10 skills, so its 280 stars are split between them (about 28 each) for scoring.
Popularity score: 59/100 from public GitHub signals only. It shows how widely used and maintained this is, not how well it works. Not included yet: the fake-star check. The security scan is shown separately and doesn't change the score. How we rank
Security
Scanned Oct 20, 2026 at commit 1eb0cd0c12e3, with Cisco's open-source skill-scanner.
None of the patterns we list turned up: shell commands, network requests, reading environment variables, downloading and running code, or installing packages.
A scan lists patterns in the code. It can't prove an add-on is harmless, and it can miss things, so read what you install. How we scan
