🆘 Troubleshooting

No Results Returned

• Check if searchQuery is too specific
• Try location: "hela_sverige" for broader coverage
• Increase maxResults above 50

Slow Performance

• Reduce maxResults for faster runs
• Use specific category instead of alla_kategorier
• Target specific cities instead of hela_sverige

Rate Limiting / Blocks

• This actor uses residential proxies by default
• Automatic retries handle temporary blocks
• Contact support if issues persist
