Stop collecting for a query after this many unique products.
Taobao's crawlable catalog serves 20 products per keyword page. Deep scan asks Taobao's own search autocomplete for the related keywords buyers use (手机壳 -> 手机壳磁吸, 手机壳带支架 ...), reads each of those pages too, and dedupes. Works best with Chinese keywords.
Upper bound on extra keyword and category pages fetched by deep scan for one query (each adds up to 20 products).
Also fetch the related-search keywords Taobao links from each keyword page (counted toward the same query's limit).
Fetch every product's page for seller type and credit level, the three seller DSR scores, ships-from location, category path, a sample review and review tag counts, payment methods and original vs promotion price. Slower and charged per product page.
Taobao overseas storefront to read. Global (Traditional Chinese, CNY with HKD/TWD) by default.
Parallel requests. Lower it if you see many retries.
