⚙️ How it works

1. Enter GTINs (EAN‑13/EAN‑8 numbers)
   Paste one or more 8‑ or 13‑digit codes. Each GTIN (EAN) identifies a product you want to track.

2. Include all shop offers
   Switch ON to collect all available merchant prices.
   Switch OFF to save only the lowest price for each product.

3. Generate Offers CSV file
   Switch ON the Generate Offers CSV file input.
   After scraping, the Actor logs a direct download link at the bottom of Log:
   📂 Offers CSV file created. Download here: https://api.apify.com/v2/key-value-stores/<STORE_ID>/records/offers-dataset.csv
   Click the link to get the file — it contains merchant‑level rows for Excel/BI analysis, structured differently than the Default dataset.

4. Run the Actor
   It gathers product details and prices, then saves results into the default dataset and (optionally) the offers CSV file.
