💰 Pricing

This Actor uses pay-per-result pricing. Current Store tiers for lightweight listing rows are Free $2.49, Bronze $2.28, Silver $2.08, and Gold or above $1.87 per 1,000 rows. Empty runs and unchanged monitoring runs with no saved rows do not create result charges. Detail enrichment is currently an input option on the same row event; a separate detail event will be introduced only after billing is verified.

Mercari caps search results at around 3,000 items per query. For broader coverage, run multiple keyword or category URLs in one session using the startUrls input.
