Facebook Scraper - Configuration Needed
Proxy Configuration
File: rust-ai/src/main.rs
Lines: 25-27
The scraper needs real proxy URLs. The dummy placeholder "http://0.0.0.0:0" will fail to connect (expected — no crash, just error logs):
const PROXIES: &[&str] = &[
"http://0.0.0.0:0", // <- Replace with real proxy(es)
];
Replace with your actual proxies, e.g.:
const PROXIES: &[&str] = &[
"http://user:pass@192.168.1.1:8080",
"http://user:pass@192.168.1.2:8080",
];
User Agents (Optional)
File: rust-ai/src/main.rs
Lines: 32-36
Add more realistic user agents here if needed.
Scraper Target URL
File: rust-ai/src/main.rs
Line: 68
Currently fetches https://www.facebook.com/search/top/?q=need%20website%20create. Change if needed.
Background Thread
File: rust-ai/src/main.rs
Lines: 355-371
Runs in a tokio::task::spawn_blocking thread (changed from tokio::spawn because the scraper uses reqwest::blocking::Client + thread::sleep).
Expected Behavior Until Configured
Until real proxies are set, the Rust server will log this every 1-5 seconds (not a crash):
ERROR crm_ai: Facebook scraper error: error sending request for url (https://www.facebook.com/messages)
Once you add working proxies, these errors stop and actual scraping begins.
How it works
- Runs every 1-5 seconds on a background blocking thread (line 355-371)
- Rotates through proxies and user agents for each request
- Parses conversation HTML via
scrapercrate - Designed to detect job posts like "need a website" and notify sales reps
- Error handling added to prevent server crash (uses
matchinstead of.unwrap()at line 69)
