Output Format

The output is a JSON array of objects, where each object corresponds to a scraped URL. Each URL object contains a "url" field and a "reviews" array. The "reviews" array consists of objects with fields like "reviewer" (string), "rating" (number, e.g., 1-5), "text" (string), and "date" (string in YYYY-MM-DD format). This structure ensures easy parsing and analysis, with each review providing comprehensive details for insights.

Error Handling

The Actor includes robust error handling for common issues such as invalid URLs, network timeouts, or CAPTCHA blocks. If a URL fails to load or parse, it will be logged with an error message, and the run will continue with other URLs. Check the Apify console for detailed logs. For persistent issues, ensure URLs are accessible and review-based.

Rate Limiting and Best Practices

Apify enforces rate limits to prevent overloading target websites; respect these to avoid IP bans. Best practices include limiting runs to 10-20 URLs per execution, using proxies if needed, and scheduling runs during off-peak hours. Avoid scraping excessively to maintain ethical standards and comply with website terms of service.
