• Outputs structured data for easy export to JSON, CSV, Excel, or Google Sheets.

❓ FAQ

Q: Is a proxy required?

A: Highly recommended. The useApifyProxy input is true by default. Chrono24 is a complex, JavaScript-heavy site and will likely block requests that do not use high-quality (e.g., residential) proxies.

Q: How many pages can it scrape?

A: The scraper will follow pagination automatically. It stops when it reaches the maxItems limit or when it can no longer find a "Next" page button. Set maxItems to 0 to scrape everything.

Q: Is it legal to scrape Chrono24?

A: It is legal to scrape publicly available data such as product descriptions, prices or ratings. Read the blog post on the legality of web scraping to learn more.

🧩 Known Limitations

• This Actor scrapes data from the listing page for speed. It does not visit each individual watch detail page, so it will not capture data only available on the detail page (e.g., full seller description, movement type, case diameter).
• Chrono24 may change its layout, which could break the selectors. If this happens, please open an issue.
