Installation and Usage

Output Format

The output is a JSON array of objects, where each object represents data extracted from one URL. Key fields include:

• url: The original URL scraped.
• productName: The name of the product.
• price: The current price of the product.
• description: A brief description of the product.
• imageUrl: URL to the product's main image.

This structured format ensures easy parsing and integration with downstream applications.

Error Handling

The Actor includes built-in error handling for common issues such as invalid URLs, network timeouts, or blocked requests. Failed URLs are logged with error messages, and the Actor will retry up to 3 times before skipping. Check the run logs for details on any errors encountered.

Rate Limiting and Best Practices

• Rate Limiting: Respects website rate limits to avoid IP bans; processes URLs sequentially with delays if needed.
• Best Practices: Limit input to 50-100 URLs per run for optimal performance. Use valid, accessible URLs to prevent unnecessary retries. Monitor Apify credits, as heavy usage may incur costs.

Limitations and Considerations

• Only scrapes publicly available data from SK2-related URLs; does not handle login-protected pages.
• Output quality depends on website structure; changes to SK2's site may require updates.
• Not designed for real-time scraping; best for batch processing.
