I’m trying to scraping web site with scrapy on pythonanywhere. I’m Scheduled the task to run specific time in daily. I have run_spider.py and run_spider.sh files for pythonanywhere. And pythonanywhere using run_spider.sh to run. But I’m receiving 429 Unknown Status when the scheduled time is come.

Additional TraceBack: 2024-08-05 16:01:56 [scrapy.downloadermiddlewares.retry] DEBUG: Retrying <GET examplewebsite.com> (failed 1 times): 429 Unknown Status

And when I’m running manually like scrapy crawl fetch_stock is running perfect no error or other things.

My settings.py file configuration is like this (this file contains which is the same location with scrapy.cfg:
