How many results can you get with Goodwill auction Scraper?

Goodwill auction Scraper can return hundreds of results on average. However, you have to keep in mind that scraping goodwillauctions.com has many variables to it and may cause the results to fluctuate case by case. There's no one-size-fits-all-use-cases number. The maximum number of results may vary depending on the complexity of the input, location, and other factors.

Some of the most frequent cases are:

• websites have an internal limit that no scraper can cross
• websites give a different number of results depending on the type/value of the input
• scraper has a limit that we are working on improving

While we regularly run Actor tests to keep the benchmarks in check, the results may also fluctuate without our knowing. The best way to know for sure for your particular use case is to do a test run yourself.
