Manage Pagination

• Increase max_pages only when you need deeper coverage.
• Combine max_pages with results_wanted to control runtime.

Capture Sponsored Insights

• Keep includeSponsored enabled when advertising visibility matters.
• Disable it if you only want standard organic listings.

Proxy Reliability
