Tips for Best Results

Use Real Listing Pages

• Start with a working Takealot category page or search URL
• Use direct product listing pages rather than individual product pages
• Keep the URL in the same format that Takealot exposes in the browser

Keep Test Runs Small

• Start with results_wanted: 20 for quick validation
• Increase max_pages only when you need deeper pagination
• Use smaller runs first when testing new keywords

Prefer Specific Keywords

• Broad keywords may return mixed categories
• Product-type keywords usually produce cleaner datasets
• Use category URLs when you need strict category coverage

Proxy Configuration

Residential or datacenter proxies can be enabled when needed:

{
    "proxyConfiguration": {
        "useApifyProxy": true
    }
}
