Technical Notes

Anti-Bot Handling

Fiverr uses PerimeterX and dynamic CSS class names. This actor mitigates detection through:

• Browser fingerprint rotation (Chrome and Firefox profiles on Windows/macOS)
• Randomised viewport sizes and delays between requests
• webdriver navigator property override
• Low concurrency (2 parallel browsers maximum)
• Residential proxy support (strongly recommended for large runs)

Data Extraction Strategy

The actor first attempts to extract data from Fiverr's embedded __NEXT_DATA__ JSON script tag, which contains the full structured data the React frontend uses. If this is unavailable (e.g., due to page structure changes), it falls back to direct DOM selection.

Pagination

Search results are paginated using Fiverr's page query parameter. The actor automatically detects and enqueues next pages until maxGigs is reached.

---

Pricing

$1.00 per 1,000 gigs scraped (search results + gig details combined).

Seller profile pages are counted separately at the same rate. Proxy costs (if using Apify Residential Proxies) are billed additionally per Apify's standard compute unit pricing.
