Safer task detection
- Blocked-page detection —
octoparse detectnow identifies CAPTCHA, access-restricted, security-challenge, and service-error pages before generating a task. This prevents unusable task files from being created from verification or error screens. - Better candidate selection — Candidate ranking more strongly rejects weak data regions and whole-page navigation shells, reducing cases where menus or page chrome are mistaken for extraction targets.
More reliable local runs
--max-rowscompletion — Fixed cases where a local run reached its row limit but did not finish cleanly. Runs that stop at the configured limit now reportmax_rowsas the stop reason.- Reliable CLI exit — Tracking uploads now have a bounded exit wait and timeout cancellation, preventing the CLI process from remaining open indefinitely after the command has otherwise completed.
Blocked-page detection returns
DETECT_PAGE_BLOCKED. Resolve the CAPTCHA or access restriction, use an accessible URL, or complete the required interaction in manual mode before retrying.
