Workflow tips

1. Start with maxItems: 50–100 and a category filter to validate fields.
2. Use locations + inStockOnly for procurement-ready slices.
3. Enable fetchDetails only when you need PDF URLs (slower, separate PPE event).
4. Schedule full-catalog runs with category: "all" and maxItems: 0 for price monitoring.
5. Pair with ENF Solar Scraper when you also need manufacturer / installer directories.

FAQ

What is one dataset row?
One seller offer for a product (price tiers, stock location, MOQ). The same module can appear multiple times from different warehouses / vendors.

Can I get the full catalog?
Yes — set category: "all" and maxItems: 0. The Actor segments Algolia queries so results are not truncated at 1 000 hits.

Do I need fetchDetails?
Only for PDF datasheet / warranty / manual URLs. Offer prices and specs come from the catalog API without opening product pages.
