Performance & Speed

API vs DOM Comparison

Metric	API Method (This Actor)	Traditional DOM Parsing
100 products	~30 seconds	~5-10 minutes
1000 products	~2-3 minutes	~30-60 minutes
Compute units	Low	High
Reliability	Very High	Medium
Data quality	Perfect	Selector-dependent

Why is it faster?

1. Direct API Access - No browser rendering, JavaScript execution, or DOM parsing
2. Structured Data - JSON responses are immediate and complete
3. Efficient Pagination - Fetch 100 products per request vs clicking through pages
4. No Resource Loading - Bypass images, CSS, and other assets

Notes & Limitations

• Anti-bot protections may be present on the website; using reliable residential proxies is recommended for large-scale runs.
• Rate limits may apply — use respectful delays and modest concurrency during testing.
• Wholesale prices often require authenticated retailer sessions and may appear as null in public data.
• Stock levels and some detailed product fields may not be publicly available.
• For best results, test with small resultsWanted values, validate category IDs, and scale up once you have stable runs.

---

Tips for Best Results

Optimize Collection Speed

• Use larger resultsWanted values for bulk collection
• API can efficiently handle 1000-5000 products
• Pagination is automatic and fast

Use Filters Wisely

• Combine price filters with category IDs for targeted collection
• Brand filters help focus on specific suppliers
• Badge filters (bestsellers, new) identify trending products

Multiple Categories

• Use categoryIds array to scrape multiple categories in one run
• More efficient than running separate scrapes

Proxy Configuration

For reliable results in large runs, residential proxies are recommended:

{
  "proxyConfiguration": {
    "useApifyProxy": true,
    "apifyProxyGroups": ["RESIDENTIAL"]
  }
}

If you use custom proxies, ensure they rotate IPs and have sufficient bandwidth.

Frequently Asked Questions

How is this different from the previous version?

This version uses a more efficient access method to deliver 10-50x faster performance and more consistent data. Older approaches that relied on full page rendering were slower and less resilient.

Can I get wholesale prices?

Wholesale prices require an authenticated retailer session. The public API returns MSRP only. Wholesale prices show as null.

How many products can I scrape?

You can set resultsWanted up to 10,000. The API is very efficient and can handle large volumes quickly.

What if I don't know the category ID?

Visit the category page on Ankorstore and check the URL. The number at the end is the category ID.

Can I scrape all categories?

Yes! Use the categoryIds array with multiple category IDs, or run the actor multiple times.

How do I search for products?

Use the searchQuery parameter instead of categoryId. Example: "searchQuery": "organic soap"

What languages are supported?

English (en), French (fr), German (de), Spanish (es), Italian (it), Dutch (nl).

Is this against Ankorstore's terms?

This scraper uses public API endpoints. Always respect rate limits and use data responsibly. Review Ankorstore's terms of service.

---

Troubleshooting

Getting 403 errors?

• Ensure residential proxies are enabled
• Check if Cloudflare is blocking your requests
• Try reducing resultsWanted or adding delays

No results returned?

• Verify the category ID is correct
• Check if filters are too restrictive
• Try without filters first

Missing wholesale prices?

• This is expected - wholesale prices require authentication
• Public API only returns MSRP prices
