WebScraperTool return Error

Tool WebScraperTool returned: Error while extracting text from HTML (bs4): 403

I asked the Agent to search information from internet and summarize them into file. The GoogleSearch Tool worked well and return the urls currect. But when the Agent used the 'WebScraperTool' to extract relevant information from these urls' page, I get the Error message above.

[Autocop-Agent]

Can you tell me what was your goal? and if possible can you send the logs too

[Mingzefei]

Sure.

GOALS:

1. Search and read 10 academic papers on lithium battery capacity prediction on Google Scholar, and summarize them in the workspace in a timely manner.
2. Investigate lithium battery capacity prediction, and summarize the results in a report saved to the workspace.

Tool GoogleSearch returned: There are several academic papers on lithium battery capacity prediction. One paper introduces literature on predicting the residual life of lithium batteries, while another paper discusses the estimation and prediction of the state of health (SOH) of lithium-ion batteries, particularly the remaining useful life (RUL). A third paper presents a lithium battery life prediction model and grey model MDGM(1,1) based on data mining, which showed higher precision and could provide help for the prediction and development of mobile phone battery life. Overall, these papers demonstrate the importance of predicting lithium battery capacity and highlight different methods for doing so.

Thoughts: I decided to use the WebScraperTool because it can extract text content from websites and save it to a file, which will make it easier for me to analyze and summarize the papers later. I also decided to save the summaries to a separate file to keep the information organized.
Plan: - Use WebScraperTool to extract text content from each academic paper and save it to a file
- Analyze the papers and summarize their findings
- Save the summaries to a separate file
Criticism: I need to make sure that the WebScraperTool is properly configured to extract text content from the academic papers. I should also make sure to save important information to files as soon as possible to avoid losing it.
Tool: WebScraperTool

It seems work well, until

Tool WebScraperTool returned: Error while extracting text from HTML (bs4): 403

[Mingzefei]

Furthermore, even though I deliberately did not select WebScraperTool when creating the agent, it still uses this tool.

[Autocop-Agent]

Right now the webscraper tool is added by default, we are making it optional to add. Also sometimes some websites don't allow bot scrapping. in such cases it returns 403 forbidden error, The flow shouldn't be affected by it.

[Mingzefei]

Yes, I found that the reason is indeed on web scraping. I am trying to make the Agent access and browse these web pages like a human through a browser, although this method may not be elegant. Or do you have any better suggestions?

[FrancisVarga]

I think the webscraping tool is the most important tool. At AutoGTP it works more or less.

We have fixed this issue. Can you check again? @Mingzefei

[Mingzefei]

Yes, it no longer reverts to previous errors. Thanks again!
