- Added targeted test to reproduce and validate handling of GraphQL 403 errors.
- Hardened the GraphQL client to reduce 403 occurrences and provide clearer diagnostics when they appear.
- Improved per-lot download logging to show incremental, in-place progress and a concise summary of what was downloaded.
### Details
1) Test case for 403 and investigation
- New test file: `test/test_graphql_403.py`.
- Uses `importlib` to load `src/config.py` and `src/graphql_client.py` directly so it’s independent of sys.path quirks.
- Mocks `aiohttp.ClientSession` to always return HTTP 403 with a short message and monkeypatches `builtins.print` to capture logs.
- Verifies that `fetch_lot_bidding_data("A1-40179-35")` returns `None` (no crash) and that a clear `GraphQL API error: 403` line is logged.
- Result: `pytest test/test_graphql_403.py -q` passes locally.
- Root cause insights (from investigation and log improvements):
- 403s are coming from the GraphQL endpoint (not the HTML page). These are likely due to WAF/CDN protections that reject non-browser-like requests or rate spikes.
- To mitigate, I added realistic headers (User-Agent, Origin, Referer) and a tiny retry with backoff for 403/429 to handle transient protection triggers. When 403 persists, we now log the status and a safe, truncated snippet of the body for troubleshooting.
2) Incremental/in-place logging for downloads
- Updated `src/scraper.py` image download section to:
- Show in-place progress: `Downloading images: X/N` updated live as each image finishes.
- After completion, print: `Downloaded: K/N new images`.
- Also list the indexes of images that were actually downloaded (first 20, then `(+M more)` if applicable), so you see exactly what was fetched for the lot.
3) GraphQL client improvements
- Updated `src/graphql_client.py`:
- Added browser-like headers and contextual Referer.
- Added small retry with backoff for 403/429.
- Improved error logs to include status, lot id, and a short body snippet.
### How your example logs will look now
For a lot where GraphQL returns 403:
```
Fetching lot data from API (concurrent)...
GraphQL API error: 403 (lot=A1-40179-35) — Forbidden by WAF
```
For image downloads:
```
Images: 6
Downloading images: 0/6
... 6/6
Downloaded: 6/6 new images
Indexes: 0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5
```
(When all cached: `All 6 images already cached`)
### Notes
- Full test run surfaced a pre-existing import error in `test/test_scraper.py` (unrelated to these changes). The targeted 403 test passes and validates the error handling/logging path we changed.
- If you want, I can extend the logging to include a short list of image URLs in addition to indexes.

## Database Configuration (PostgreSQL)
|
||||
|
||||
The scraper now uses PostgreSQL (no more SQLite files). Configure via `DATABASE_URL`:
|
||||
|
||||
- Default (baked in):
|
||||
`postgresql://auction:heel-goed-wachtwoord@192.168.1.159:5432/auctiondb`
|
||||
- Override for your environment:
|
||||
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
# Windows PowerShell
|
||||
$env:DATABASE_URL = "postgresql://user:pass@host:5432/dbname"
|
||||
|
||||
# Linux/macOS
|
||||
export DATABASE_URL="postgresql://user:pass@host:5432/dbname"
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
Packages used:
|
||||
- Driver: `psycopg[binary]`
|
||||
|
||||
Nothing is written to local `.db` files anymore.
