FAQ

How many products can I get? Grainger lists about 1.6 million items. Use category URLs (parents are crawled into every sub-category) or item-number lists for bulk jobs; maxItems caps the run.

How fresh is the data? Every run fetches live data from Grainger at run time — prices and stock status are what a visitor sees at that moment.

Which price is returned? The public (guest) web price and the list price. Account- or contract-specific pricing requires a Grainger login and is not included.

Why does a search return products from several categories? Grainger maps keywords to categories; the Actor collects the best-matching categories (maxCategoriesPerQuery) with your query applied as a filter. Grainger's matching can be broad — use category URLs or item numbers when you need an exact scope.

Is "price low to high" strictly ordered? The order is Grainger's own sort, which can differ slightly from the displayed web price for multi-pack items.

What happens with an item number that doesn't exist? It's skipped and logged; the run continues.

Is scraping Grainger legal? The Actor collects publicly available product information. You are responsible for using the data in line with Grainger's terms and applicable law.
