FAQ

Q: What categories can I search? A: PHP Scripts, WordPress, JavaScript, CSS & Design, HTML5 Templates, Mobile, Apps, Plugins, and .NET Scripts — this reflects CodeCanyon's current top-level category navigation. (Note: CodeCanyon previously had a more granular taxonomy including Forms, eCommerce, Social Networking, Utilities, Components & Libraries, and Miscellaneous as separate categories; the site has since consolidated its navigation and those no longer exist as distinct browsable categories. Items that would have fit those categories are still findable via search with a relevant keyword.)

Q: What's the difference between topSellers and byCategory? A: topSellers returns the all-time bestselling items in a category sorted by total sales. byCategory lets you browse a category with your chosen sort order (e.g., newest, highest rated, price).

Q: Can I search for free items? A: Set maxPrice to 0 to find free items. Note that CodeCanyon has very few free items — most are paid.

Q: How many items can I scrape? A: Up to 5,000 items per run using maxItems. CodeCanyon paginates at ~15 items per page.

Q: Can I scrape a specific item I found on CodeCanyon? A: Yes, set mode to byItemUrls and add the item URLs (like https://codecanyon.net/item/slider-revolution/812145) to startUrls.

Q: How reliable are the sales counts? A: Sales counts are scraped from the item listings as shown publicly on CodeCanyon. Very high numbers (like 800,000+) are rounded/abbreviated on the site; the scraper extracts the displayed value.

Q: What data is available on category pages vs. search results? A: Search results, category pages, top sellers, and new releases all return similar card-level data (title, price, sales, rating, author). Individual item pages (byItemUrls) provide additional detail like compatible software, file size, tags, and live preview links.

Q: Does the scraper require authentication? A: No. All scraped data is publicly visible on CodeCanyon without login.

Q: Is publishDate the item's original release date? A: It's the most specific publish-related date CodeCanyon's own page data exposes. On many items this is the same value as lastUpdate (CodeCanyon's structured page data reports both as the same timestamp for a lot of listings), so treat it as "most recent significant update" rather than guaranteed original release date.

Q: Why is fileSize sometimes missing? A: CodeCanyon doesn't display a file size on every item's page — when it's not shown on the page, the field is left out rather than guessed.
