Tips for Best Results

Choose Valid Product URLs

• Use product page URLs (containing /ID= and ending with -product)
• Verify the product exists and has reviews before scraping
• Product IDs can be numeric or start with prod, and both formats are supported
• Start with popular products that have many reviews for testing

Optimize Collection Size

• Start with results_wanted: 20 for testing to verify the output format
• Increase to results_wanted: 200 or more for production runs
• Keep include_ratings_only disabled when you only need reviews with title and text

Proxy Configuration

• For single product runs, Apify Proxy may not be required
• For bulk scraping, residential proxies provide better reliability
• The scraper automatically handles proxy rotation

Frequently Asked Questions

How many reviews can I collect?

You can collect all available written reviews for any product. The scraper automatically paginates through review pages until it reaches results_wanted or max_pages.

Does this work for any Walgreens product?

Yes, it works with Walgreens product page URLs that contain /ID=...-product, including numeric IDs and IDs such as prod6177789.

What if no reviews are found?

Some products have no written reviews yet. If you get 0 results, verify the product URL is correct and try include_ratings_only: true to include star-only ratings.

Can I scrape multiple products?

This actor processes one product URL per run. To scrape multiple products, use Apify's task feature to run multiple instances in parallel, or use the API to trigger runs programmatically.

Are ratings included?

Yes, each review includes its individual rating (1-5), and the aggregate statistics (average rating, rating distribution, recommendation counts) are captured in the API responses.
