🐞 Troubleshooting

No results returned

• Check that your keywords match real Yodobashi products
• Try a broader search term or a different sort order

Missing specifications or description

• Specs and long descriptions 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.
