❓ FAQ

• Q: What input do I need?

  • At least one search keyword in the searchQueries array.

• Q: Can I search multiple keywords at once?

  • Yes! Add multiple keywords to the searchQueries array (up to 20). Each keyword is searched separately and all results are saved.

• Q: How does pagination work?

  • The API is cumulative. Setting maxPages: 2 fetches pages 1 + 2 combined in a single call. Each page has up to 64 products.

• Q: What's the difference between sale and gwp special offer?

  • sale shows only discounted products. gwp (Gift With Purchase) shows products that come with a free gift.

• Q: What if no results are found?

  • An error entry is saved for that query with a clear message. Other queries continue processing normally.

• Q: Can I filter by price range?

  • Yes! Use minAmount and maxAmount to set a price range in USD (e.g., minAmount: 10, maxAmount: 50).

• Q: Can I check local store availability?

  • Yes! Pass a storeId to filter products by a specific Ulta Beauty store's in-stock status.

🛠️ Troubleshooting

Issue	Cause	Solution
❌ "At least one search query required"	Empty searchQueries array	Add at least one keyword
❌ "No results found"	Invalid query or too-narrow filters	Try a broader keyword or remove filters
⚠️ "Rate limit hit"	Too many requests	The actor auto-retries with backoff; no action needed
⏱️ Slow runs	Many queries + many pages	Reduce maxPages or number of keywords per run
🔢 Missing products	Only 64 results	Increase maxPages to fetch more results
