FAQ

Why use this Actor instead of building my own scraper?

Building and maintaining a web scraper requires handling anti-bot detection, proxy rotation, data parsing, and ongoing maintenance as websites change. This Actor provides all of that out of the box with reliable, tested extraction.

What data format does this Actor return?

The Actor returns structured JSON data. Results are stored in an Apify dataset which can be exported as JSON, CSV, XML, or Excel.

Can I use this Actor with scheduling?

Yes. You can create a task from this Actor and schedule it to run automatically at regular intervals for monitoring or data collection purposes.

Is there a way to filter or limit results?

Yes. Check the input parameters for options like maxItems, maxPages, or similar limiting fields to control how much data is extracted per run.

What happens if the Actor encounters a blocked page?

The Actor uses proxy rotation and retry logic to handle blocks. If a page cannot be accessed, the Actor will skip it and continue with the remaining items.
