❓ FAQ

Are prices normalized to a single currency?

No. price and dealPrice preserve the value and currency formatting displayed in the result.

Why are some ratings or deal prices missing?

Those fields appear only when the shopping result includes that offer metadata.

Does url always point directly to the merchant?

The actor decodes the merchant destination when it is available. trackingUrl preserves the original shopping result link.

Can the actor check inventory or checkout totals?

No. It collects shopping search metadata. Verify availability, taxes, shipping, and final price on the merchant page.
