Troubleshooting

Why am I getting no results?

Check that your filters are not too restrictive. Try a broader category or remove price and year limits. If using a Start URL, ensure it is a valid CommercialTruckTrader search URL.

Why do I get a 403 or bot detection error?

Make sure residential proxies are enabled. The Actor requires residential proxies to bypass DataDome protection. The default configuration is set, but you can adjust proxy groups if needed.

Why does the Actor stop after 10 items?

Free previews are limited to 10 items. To scrape more, upgrade to a paid plan and set a higher Max Items value.

Can I run the Actor without residential proxies?

No, datacenter proxies are usually blocked. Use the preconfigured residential proxy settings for reliable runs.

Why are some fields missing in my dataset?

Some listings may not have all fields filled on the website. The Actor returns only what is publicly shown on each listing page.
