• Category codes - Enter a list of category codes that specify the types of businesses or data categories to be scraped. Each code should follow the list code from link here. Example: ['online-retailer'].
• From position - Specify the starting index of the data scraping process. Used for pagination or to continue scraping from a specific point. Example: 0 means starting from the very first item.
• To position - Specify the ending index for the data scraping process. Defines the maximum position to scrape up to. Example: 5 means scraping items from the starting position up to the 5th item.
• Limit the number of retries - Maximum number of retries for each URL when collecting data when an unexpected error occurs.
