FAQ

What is Flipkart? Flipkart is India's largest e-commerce marketplace, founded in 2007 and acquired by Walmart in 2018. It serves over 400 million registered customers with 450+ million product listings across categories including electronics, fashion, home goods, grocery, and more.

What currency are prices in? All prices are in Indian Rupees (INR). The currency field in every record confirms this.

Why might some products be missing originalPrice or discountPercent? If a product is not currently on sale (i.e., the sale price equals the original MRP), these fields are omitted. Only products with an active discount show these fields.

How many results can I get per run? Set maxItems up to 500. Flipkart shows approximately 5–24 products per page depending on the category; the actor paginates automatically.

Can I filter products by specific brands? Use the searchQuery to include brand names (e.g., "Samsung 4K TV" or "Apple iPhone"). Category URLs from Flipkart may also include brand filter parameters that the actor will preserve.

Why does the keySpecs field have multiple values? Flipkart provides 3–5 key specifications per product (processor type, RAM, storage, OS, display size, etc.) as a quick summary. These are stored as an array of strings.

Does this actor require cookies or login? No. This actor scrapes Flipkart's public product listings without any authentication. The searchQuery prefill produces results immediately on the free Apify plan.

Is this actor affiliated with Flipkart? No. This is an independent third-party scraper that uses Flipkart's public website. It is not affiliated with, endorsed by, or connected to Flipkart Internet Private Limited or Walmart Inc.
