Frequently Asked Questions

Can I run multiple game URLs in one input?

Yes. Add all store URLs into startUrls and the actor will process them sequentially.

Why do some products return fewer reviews than requested?

The source may have fewer reviews than requested, or the endpoint may return less data for that product.

What should I do if I get temporary request failures?

Use proxyConfiguration with residential proxies and retry the run.

Can I change locale or sort mode from input?

Not in this simplified version. The actor uses en-US, MostHelpful, and NoFilter.
