Output Format

The Actor outputs an array of JSON objects, each representing a scraped product page. Key fields include:

• url: The source URL.
• title: The product title.
• shortText: A brief promotional text.
• description: Detailed product description.
• features: An array of product features.
• mainImage: URL of the main product image.
• rating: Product rating (if available).
• jsonLd: Structured data from the page (if present).

Data is extracted reliably, but availability depends on the page structure.

Error Handling

The Actor includes robust error handling for common issues like invalid URLs, network timeouts, or page changes. If a URL fails, it logs the error and continues with others. Check the run logs for details on failures. For persistent issues, ensure URLs are accessible and up-to-date.

Rate Limiting and Best Practices

Apify enforces rate limits to prevent overloading servers; respect these to avoid bans. Best practices include:

• Limit concurrent requests to 5-10 URLs per run.
• Use delays between requests if needed.
• Monitor Apify's usage dashboard.
• Test with a small set of URLs first.

Limitations and Considerations

• Only scrapes Charmin.com product pages; not suitable for other sites.
• Data accuracy depends on page updates; re-run for latest info.
• Does not handle login-required content.
• Output size may vary; large batches could increase costs.
