Why this one

	This Actor	Typical Jumia scraper
Countries	8 in one run (NG, KE, EG, GH, UG, CI, MA, SN)	One store
Price per 1,000 products	$2.50, platform usage included	$4 to $8
Specs and seller details	Optional detail mode	Often missing

What it costs: a 1,000-product price list = $2.50. The same keyword across all 8 countries at 100 products each = $2.00.

💰 Pricing

This actor uses Pay Per Event (PPE) pricing — you are charged only for results produced.

Volume	Cost per 1,000 products
All tiers	$2.50

Platform usage (compute, proxy, storage) is included in that price — there is nothing charged on top, so you can work out the cost of a run before you start it.

Run	Products	Cost
100 products, 1 country	100	$0.25
500 products, 1 country	500	$1.25
100 products x 8 countries	800	$2.00

Note that maxResults is per country: selecting 5 countries with maxResults: 200 scrapes up to 1,000 products in total, not 200.

💡 Tips for best results

• Use specific keywords — "samsung galaxy a55" returns better quality data than "phone".
• Start without detail mode — enable scrapeDetails only when you need specs or images; it's 5–10x slower.
• Use price filters — minPrice/maxPrice reduce noise and keep you within your budget.
• Multi-country in one run — passing ["ng","ke","gh"] in a single run is more efficient than three separate runs.
• Proxies — keep the default Residential setting. Jumia puts every store behind a bot challenge; the Actor routes through Nigerian residential IPs, which pass it for all 8 live stores, and retries on a fresh IP when one is challenged.
• Schedule regular runs — use the Apify scheduler to run daily or weekly for price trend monitoring.

---

⚠️ Limitations

• 2,000 results per country per query — this is a hard limit imposed by Jumia's search pagination (max 40 pages × 50 products). For broader coverage, split your keyword into multiple specific terms.
• Dynamic content — Jumia's image URLs use lazy loading; the actor captures the data-src attribute for actual image URLs.
• Rate limiting — a challenged request is retried automatically on a new IP, so large runs keep going. A page that stays challenged after many fresh IPs is reported in the log and status message rather than silently dropped.
• Prices in local currencies — each country returns prices in its own currency. Currency conversion is not performed; compare using your own FX rates.
• Detail page availability — some product detail pages may have different layouts (Jumia frequently A/B tests its UI). The actor handles parser failures gracefully, falling back to search-result data.
