👨🏻‍💻 How to scrape UGAP products in a few clicks

1. Prepare a list of keywords (product names in French) you want to search on UGAP.
2. Paste them into the actor input (or load them from a CSV).
3. (Optional) Set max products per keyword and max pages per search to control the scope.
4. Click Start.
5. When the run finishes, go to the Dataset tab and download your product data as CSV, Excel, JSON, HTML, XML, or RSS.

Some practical tips:

• Use French keywords for best results (e.g., mobilier, ordinateur portable, véhicule électrique, matériel informatique, fournitures de bureau).
• Be specific with keywords: mobilier de bureau (office furniture) works better than just mobilier (furniture).
• Set max products per keyword to limit the number of products extracted per search term (useful for testing or focused searches).
• Set max pages per search to control pagination depth (default is 3 pages). Increase for comprehensive searches.
• Use max requests per crawl to limit total requests and control costs, especially for large keyword lists.
• Combine related keywords: Search for ordinateur portable and laptop separately if you want broader coverage.
