Troubleshooting
Why am I getting no results?
Check that your search query is spelled correctly and matches a product Best Buy carries. Very specific or obscure terms may return zero listings. Try a broader keyword like 'laptop' or 'headphones' to verify the Actor is working.
Why does the Actor return fewer listings than my maxItems setting?
The Actor stops when Best Buy has no more results for your query. If Best Buy only lists 200 items for 'wireless keyboard', the run ends at 200 regardless of a higher maxItems value.
Why are some prices missing or showing as unavailable?
Best Buy sometimes hides pricing for items that are out of stock, available only in-store, or part of a special promotion. The Actor returns whatever price Best Buy displays publicly.
Why did my run time out?
A very high maxItems combined with a broad search query can produce a long run. Increase the Actor's timeout in the run settings, or reduce maxItems and run multiple narrower searches instead.
Why do I see different results than when I search Best Buy manually?
Best Buy personalizes search results based on location, cookies, and browsing history. The Actor runs from Apify's infrastructure and sees a default, non-personalized result set, which may differ from your local browser.
