❓ FAQ

Which markets are covered? UAE, Qatar, Bahrain and Oman, the four stores Virgin Megastore offers.

How do I scrape several markets at once? Add one start URL per market, for example the same category on .ae, .qa, .bh and .om. Each URL gets its own maxItems limit.

How do I find a category, brand or search URL? Open the store, browse to the page you want and paste its address. Brand pages look like /en/brands/braun and search pages like /en/search?text=sony.

Is Arabic supported? Yes. Use /ar URLs and titles are returned in Arabic.

How is maxItems applied? It limits the number of items for each start URL, not for the whole run.

Do I need a proxy? Not for normal runs. Enable Apify Proxy if you see blocking at high volume.

Are product detail pages supported? No. Use category, brand or search URLs. Homepages and the country selector are not accepted.
