FAQ

Is this affiliated with Debenhams? No. This is an independent, third-party actor that reads publicly accessible product data from debenhams.com. It is not affiliated with, endorsed by, or connected to Debenhams.

Do I need to log in or provide cookies? No. All product search and browse data returned by this actor is publicly accessible without an account.

Why do some products have no wasPrice/onSale fields? Those fields are only added when a genuine reduced price is detected. Full-price products simply omit them rather than showing false/null.

Why are rating and reviewCount sometimes missing? Not every product has customer reviews yet. Those fields are only populated when Debenhams has published a rating for that product.

Does brand include third-party sellers, not just Debenhams' own label? Yes — Debenhams' catalog spans hundreds of brands sold directly and via its marketplace. listingSource tells you whether a given result is a Debenhams-fulfilled listing or a third-party marketplace listing.

How are sizes represented? Exactly as Debenhams lists them for that product — numeric UK clothing/shoe sizes, age-based kids sizes, or letter sizes (S/M/L), since sizing schemes differ across departments.

How fresh is the data? Every run queries live data at request time — pricing, stock, and ratings reflect what debenhams.com shows at the moment of the run.

Is there a rate limit? The actor paces requests and automatically retries through Apify's free datacenter proxy group if a request is temporarily throttled.
