Can I only add new businesses to an existing dataset?
Can I only add new businesses to an existing dataset?
At a glance
The community member uses a Google Maps scraper to gather business data from an entire country, such as "Furniture store" in Poland. They are wondering if there is a good way to update the existing dataset after a month, either by adding new items or removing items that can't be found, or if it's easier to just run the scraper from scratch again. A comment suggests that integrating a custom actor would be required for the update approach, and that running the scraper from scratch and comparing the difference would probably be easier.
Hi. I use google maps scraper a lot. I run it and get businesses from a whole country. Example - "Furniture store" in Poland. Is there a good way to take the existing dataset and after a month run it again but only add to it or remove items that can't be found? Or is it easier to just run it from scratch?
Hello, this would currently require some integration around it (custom actor) which someone might help you in . From scratch and compare the difference will probably be easier
