Couple of questions

Closed

Hi, first of all thanks for the scraper! I'm testing the functionality and have some questions.

  1. In general I need only info about product stock and I noticed incorrect data in some cases. For example inStock field equals to false but inStockText equals to In stock and the product is actually available if I go to the product page. Don't see this on amazon.com, but for amazon.in it happens. Not tried another domains yet.
  2. Is it possible to reduce returned data, since I don't need most of them, such as reviews, parent products etc.?
  3. Why each product is checking twice? For example, I have 24 ASINs, but there is a 2 runs for each of them for total 48 and it's increasing the run time as I understand.

Thanks!

Hi, thanks for opening this issue!

Great questions! Thanks for raising them :)

  1. Thanks for reporting this! That should definitely not happen... we will investigate and fix this :)
  2. On the scraper level, no. On the platform level, yes! You select specific fields that you want from the output of any Actor on Apify and get them in you desired format :) It doesn't make much sense from the scraper level, because the actual extraction/parsing of the data cost basically nothing and users can just filter it out.
  3. ASINs scraper extracts all the product offers, so I guess that in your case that averages to 2 offers per product. I would recommend you to use our main Amazon Product Scraper which can also scrape product offers, and can even store them all up into a single output item :)

I hope this helps! I will keep you updated with the progress on the inStock field bug :) Thanks!

Wait, coming back to this after a bit of investigation, I've realized a mistake that I've made. The inStock field is getting extracted correctly.

It may happen that if you open the product on your personal browser, and see a different thing. This is because Amazon shows you the availability based on your geolocation, meaning if the scraper gets a different one, it may see a different thing. You can see the inStockText that the scraper saw in the results.

But I may be wrong. If you have an example of such a bugged product, please share the run link and the product here, thanks!

Thank you for answers! These fields are mismatched in scraper run results. Like on attached screenshot, for example. Here is the run link - https://console.apify.com/view/runs/3dkUgzqxbhgyIAhYl.

Oh, I see, you are right! That is definitely bugged.

I will keep you updated here with the fix! Thanks!

Hi, I'm happy to inform you that we've just updated the scraper with the fix :)

FYI, the original run has already been deleted due to it being over a month old, so I cannot recheck the products that failed for you. This is our fault, we should've synced it. Anyway, that means we cannot recheck if we've fixed the specific products where you've had these issues, however we believe we should have caught them. We've fixed price extraction for 3 different Amazon price offer layouts, so that should almost certainly cover yours too :)

Let me know if you are still experiencing this problem on any other products still. Thanks and happy scraping!
