How to Use the Scraper

Step-by-Step Process

1. URL Collection: Identify target category or brand pages from Fortress.com.hk
2. Configuration Setup: Adjust retry limits and item quantities based on your needs
3. Proxy Selection: Use Singapore residential proxies for best results
4. Execution: Run the scraper with your configured parameters
5. Data Processing: Parse the returned JSON data according to your analysis requirements

Best Practices and Tips

Set reasonable item limits (20-50 per URL) for balanced performance and comprehensive data collection. Use residential proxies consistently to avoid access restrictions. Monitor execution logs for failed URLs and adjust retry settings accordingly. For large-scale operations, consider running extractions during off-peak hours to minimize server load impact.

Common Issue Resolution

If encountering access issues, verify that target URLs are publicly accessible and not requiring login. Increase retry limits for unstable connections. Reduce item quantities if experiencing timeouts. Ensure proxy settings match your target geographic region for optimal performance.

Business Benefits and Applications

The scraper delivers significant time savings by automating manual data collection processes that would otherwise require hours of repetitive work. Businesses can redirect human resources to analysis and strategy rather than data gathering, improving overall operational efficiency.

Real-world applications include competitive pricing analysis for e-commerce platforms, inventory planning for electronics retailers, market research for product launch strategies, and price monitoring for procurement teams. The comprehensive dataset enables sophisticated analytics including trend analysis, brand performance comparison, and customer preference insights.

The extracted data provides measurable business value through improved pricing strategies, enhanced inventory management, competitive intelligence gathering, and market opportunity identification. Companies typically see ROI within weeks of implementing automated data collection workflows.
