Facebook Scraper: COULDNT_CONNECT to fwdproxy port 8082


Im surprised to see Facebook did not scrape my website for a while and debugging shows an error

COULDNT_CONNECT Failed to connect to fwdproxy port 8082: Connection refused

Why all of sudden Facebook scraper changed their request to port 8082 ? Or is that normal ?

The port 8082 was never open and all those 6 months fb scraped without any issues and while I was trying to find out what happened this time, that issue resolved automatically. I guess fb changed reqest to 80 or 443

Any idea please ?


Solution

  • According to Facebook Platform Status, there is a Disruption across Platform & APIs on 6th Jun which webhooks are affected. I encountered this issue last week with the same error message. It should be resolved now.
