Frequently Asked Questions

How many luxury products can I collect?

You can collect thousands of products per run. The practical limit depends on category size and available inventory (typically up to 100+ pages per category).

Can I scrape specific designer brands?

Yes, use brand-specific URLs like /designer-gucci/ or /designer-louis-vuitton/ in your start URL for focused brand collections.

How often should I update pricing data?

For luxury fashion, weekly or bi-weekly updates are recommended due to frequent price changes, seasonal sales, and new arrivals.

What if some products don't show discounts?

Not all luxury items are discounted. The scraper captures all available pricing information, including original prices when discounts aren't applied.

Can I monitor multiple categories?

Yes, run separate scraper instances for different categories or use broader category URLs to collect across multiple fashion segments.

How do I track seasonal sales?

Use the isOnSale field and monitor discount values. Schedule regular runs during sale seasons (end-of-season sales, holiday promotions).
