I enter a url for a user: http://soundcloud.com/xxx-xxx-xxxx
Build a custom search calling for "tracks liked by a user," which to me should logically reference the linked user and scrape his favorites. When I click "OK" to close the custom search menu, it keeps insisting:
"Your custom search will return: Track
However the action you are building this search for requires an output of: Artist.
Please correct your custom search"
Why would its output be "Artist?" How do I build a custom search to scrape a list of tracks?
Oddly enough, if I build this same custom search in the favorites menu, it works well enough, with one additional issue: Some urls work, other's don't. I thought it was an issue with dashes in the username, but it seems random. On some urls, flawless. On others -
Custom: http://soundcloud.com/XXX-XXX-XXX(5) using 1 accounts - (5)
Custom: http://soundcloud.com/XXX-XXX-XXX(5) using 1 accounts - (5)
Get accounts: 1
Randomise account order:
Max items for action: 3
Login: XXX-XXX-XXX
Using an acc proxy
Attempting automatic cookie login: XXX-XXX-XXX Proxy: XXX-XXX-XXX
Cookie login successful: XXX-XXX-XXX Proxy: 1XXX-XXX-XXX
Reloaded from cookies: XXX-XXX-XXX
Search: http://soundcloud.com/XXX-XXX-XXX::
Found: 0 URLs: http://soundcloud.com/XXX-XXX-XXX::
Got items to process: 0
No URLs found
The accounts without dashes seem to work more consistently, though the "no url found" seems to pop up at random.

Re: Build Custom Search - Scraper and Favorite tabs
on the FAVOURITES tab, I don't get that.
I select custom search
tracks liked by user
click ok
saves the search correctly
what version are you on?
