❓ Frequently Asked Questions

Q: How many products can I scrape? A: FREE tier: 25 products per run. PAID tier: unlimited products across as many categories as you like.

Q: How do I find the category path? A: Open any Ulta category page and copy the part of the URL after ulta.com (e.g. /shop/makeup/eyes/mascara). A full URL works too.

Q: What's the difference between Overview and Detail mode? A: Overview is the fast path — category results with brand, price, ratings, images, and badges. Detail adds the full description, ingredients list, how-to-use directions, and every shade/size variant.

Q: Can I scrape specific products instead of a whole category? A: Yes — switch to Detail mode and paste the product URLs into the productUrls field.

Q: What output formats are available? A: JSON, CSV, and Excel — export directly from the Apify dataset.

Q: Is this legal? A: Yes — we only extract publicly available product data. See the legal section below.

Q: How fresh is the data? A: Every run pulls live data directly from Ulta at the moment you run it. Schedule runs to keep prices and stock up to date.

🐞 Troubleshooting

No results returned

• Check that your category path is valid (copy it straight from an Ulta browse-page URL)
• Try a broader category or a different sort order, then re-run

Missing ingredients or description

• Ingredients, descriptions, and variants only appear in Detail mode — switch scrapeMode to detail

Fewer results than expected on the free tier

• The FREE tier is capped at 25 products per run — upgrade to PAID for unlimited results

⚖️ Is it legal to scrape data?

Our actors are ethical and do not extract any private user data, such as email addresses, gender, or location. They only extract what is publicly shared. We therefore believe that our actors, when used for ethical purposes by Apify users, are safe.

However, you should be aware that your results could contain personal data. Personal data is protected by the GDPR in the European Union and by other regulations around the world. You should not scrape personal data unless you have a legitimate reason to do so. If you're unsure whether your reason is legitimate, consult your lawyers.
