How to set the store ID?

. If there's no store specified in a URL, the value specified in the seperate store
parameter will be used.

鈿狅笍 Note about deepSearch
Note that deepSearch
parameter only makes sense when scraping categories and/or search results pages; if it's checked (true) then the scraper would open each product result item's page and scrape it, otherwise (the default) it will scrape product's information which are available in categries/search results pages, which in most cases (99%) sufffisant.
If the deepSearch
attribute is checked, an example result may look like this.
If the deepSearch
attribute is not checked, an example result may look like this.
