🚀 How to Use?

Example 1: Scrape a single product

{
  "productUrls": [
    "https://example-shop.com/product-123"
  ]
}

That's it! Run the Actor and retrieve the data.

Example 2: Scrape multiple products in parallel

{
  "productUrls": [
    "https://shop-a.com/product-456",
    "https://shop-b.com/product-789",
    "https://shop-c.com/product-abc",
    "https://shop-d.com/product-def"
  ],
  "batchSize": 10
}

batchSize controls how many products are scraped simultaneously. The higher the number, the faster.

Example 3: Enable AI for difficult sites

{
  "productUrls": [
    "https://difficult-site.com/product-xyz"
  ],
  "llmFallback": {
    "enabled": true,
    "provider": "claude",
    "apiKey": "your-api-key"
  }
}

AI intervenes only if free methods fail.

   • Enable AI only if necessary

   • Start with 10
   • Increase if everything works well
   • Reduce in case of timeout

3. Don't use proxy by default
