"a.records is not iterable" airtable error

Hello there,

I have a issue with de scraper. I try to scrape Inoreader news section. It used to work fine but it seems that, when I try to scrape more than 5 news of the thread, iā€™m getting blocked. I get the following message: ā€œa.records is not iterableā€

I believe it comes from the infinite scroll option but Iā€™m not sure as it used to work fine before. Is it Inoreader that spotted my recurring scraping?

If anyone know what the ā€œa.records is not iterableā€ really means, it will be really helpful.

Cheers,

Hi @AdriBou,

Welcome to the community, and sorry you encountered a bug.

Are you trying to use a scraper with Airtable? We have seen such error message due to a bug in our Airtable integration that weā€™re working on.

Yes, thatā€™s correct. I use Airtable as database for scraping.

I conducted more thorough testing and realized that one article in Inoreader was causing this issue. However, I had encountered this error before that as well, so Iā€™m not 100% sure.

If itā€™s a bug caused by Airtable that you are currently addressing, then Iā€™m glad because it means this issue could be resolved soon.

Thank you for your response!
