API, dashboard, anti-block, number of crawlers

Could you tell me the difference and advantage between Octoparse and Diffbot？

I have a complex task that I have setup just the way I want. I'd like to duplicate it so that I can essentially run the same task twice, in parallel, with different URL lists. How can I accomplish this?

. I see that I am able to set up the task details using the downloaded windows desktop app. However, using the advanced API only, am I able to change all of the URLs in the task to a completely different list of URLs before initiating the task?

Cloud extraction stops before all 76k url's are visited. This has happened repeatedly. Using a trial before buying to try this but it is not working. Any solutions and trial extension to try again before purchasing?

My cloud tasks don't seem to be executing. I left them running for some time and they did not extract any additional rows.

What countries are the IPs in for the cloud-based scraping? If there's more than one country, are we able to choose? The site I am scraping from may only allow U.S. IPs to login, that's why I'm asking.

It seems like I have almost no access to cloud extraction. Last week it worked just fine. This week cloud extraction seems to be taking a long time to start, if it starts at all. Whats is the problem?

How does the concurrent crawler work? Am I able to spin up 100 crawlers in the cloud to view videos for a set time and then refresh the page to view more?

It could be an issue with the ReCaptcha. It seems to work for a little bit and then throws an error.

Is there some functionality of it that would allow the data to be automatically exported without keeping the application open, similar to automated cloud extraction?
