1. Use specific queries for more relevant results (e.g., "iPhone 15 Pro Max 256GB" instead of just "iPhone")
2. Set country code to get localized prices and merchant listings for your target market
3. Use price range filters to narrow results to your budget bracket
4. Keep maxResultsPerQuery reasonable (20–50) for faster runs

FAQ

Does this actor need cookies or login?

No. The scraper works with publicly available Google Shopping search results and does not require any authentication.

Why is proxy required?

Google blocks automated access from datacenter IPs. The default GOOGLE_SERP proxy is optimized specifically for Google search and provides fast, reliable access to Shopping results. A residential proxy is used automatically as a fallback when browser-based extraction is triggered.

How many results can I get per query?

Google Shopping typically surfaces 40+ products per search page. The scraper supports pagination and can extract up to 100 results per query.

What happens if Google blocks a request?

The scraper automatically retries with a fresh proxy session (different IP address). It makes up to 5 attempts on the fast HTTP path and up to 3 attempts on the browser path, with exponential delays between retries.

What is Typical Price Range?

Google Shopping sometimes shows an insight panel reading "The price is usually $X–$Y" for popular products. This is only rendered client-side in the browser — it never appears in the raw HTTP response. Enable alwaysUseBrowser to attempt capturing it. Note: Google controls when this panel appears algorithmically, so it is not guaranteed for every query.

How does sorting work?

Sort is applied client-side after Google returns results. Google's current Shopping interface (udm=28) does not reliably honor server-side sort parameters, so the actor fetches results and sorts them locally. Prices are parsed from the price string (first numeric value) for ordering.

Can I scrape product detail pages?

This actor focuses on search result listings, which contain the key commercial data (title, price, merchant, rating, reviews). The productUrl field links to Google's product comparison page where multiple merchants are listed for the same item.

Does this support international pricing?

Yes. Set countryCode to get results in local currency from the corresponding Google domain. The currency field indicates the detected currency code (e.g., USD, EUR, GBP, AUD, BRL).
