FAQ

Can I scrape both product pages and search result pages?

Yes. Provide direct product URLs to scrape that item’s reviews, or use search URLs/keywords to discover products first and then collect their reviews.

Does it support Walmart.ca?

This actor targets Walmart.com review pages. It normalizes inputs to www.walmart.com and builds review URLs on that domain.

Can I filter reviews by star rating or verified purchase?

Not at the input level. You can control sortOrder (relevancy, submission-desc, helpful, rating-desc, rating-asc). Post-filtering can be done after export using your analytics tools.

How many reviews can I scrape per product?

Use maxComments to set the maximum reviews per product (default 10). The actor paginates review pages until the limit is reached or no more reviews are available.

Is there an API or Python integration?

Yes. Every run’s dataset is accessible via the Apify API, making it easy to integrate with Python scripts and automation pipelines for a Walmart reviews scraper Python workflow.

Do I need to log in or provide cookies?

No. The Walmart reviews scraper works on public pages without login.

How do I export Walmart reviews?

Open the run’s Dataset and export to JSON, CSV, or Excel. You can also pull data programmatically using the Apify Dataset API.

Why am I getting fewer reviews than expected?

Common reasons include low-review products, skipProductsWithoutReviews being enabled, strict limits (maxComments or maxProductsPerStartUrl), or temporary blocking despite retries. Adjust limits and review inputs, or rerun if necessary.
