Frequently Asked Questions

How many bestseller pages can I scrape per run?

You can submit multiple bestseller URLs. The Actor processes each URL sequentially. For very large categories (100+ pages), consider increasing the run timeout.

Does this work with Amazon.ca/.co.uk/.de?

Yes. The Actor works with Amazon's international sites. Use the appropriate country-specific bestseller URL.

Can I scrape specific subcategories?

Yes. Use the direct URL to any bestseller subcategory page (e.g., "Best Sellers in Headphones" instead of the top-level Electronics page).

Does the price include shipping?

The price field shows the product's listed price. Shipping costs are not included and vary by seller and customer location.

Can I get historical price data?

This Actor provides current pricing only. For historical data, combine with a price tracking service or schedule regular runs.
