Output Format

The actor outputs a JSON array of player objects. Each object includes fields like url, playerName, rating, position, stats (basic attributes), detailedStats (nested sub-stats), prices (console and PC ranges), playStyles, roles, and scrapedAt timestamp. This structured format allows for easy parsing and integration, with numerical values for stats and prices ensuring quantitative analysis.

Error Handling

The actor handles common errors such as network timeouts, invalid URLs, or site changes by retrying requests and logging issues. If a page fails to load, it skips to the next URL. For persistent problems, check the run logs and adjust proxy settings or reduce maxRequestsPerCrawl.

Rate Limiting and Best Practices

Futbin may impose rate limits; use proxies to distribute requests. Best practices include starting with low maxRequestsPerCrawl, monitoring logs for errors, and running during off-peak hours. Respect site terms to avoid bans.

Limitations

Data accuracy depends on Futbin's updates; prices may fluctuate. Not all player pages may load if heavily rate-limited. The actor focuses on public data and does not access private accounts.
