💡 Tips

1. Start small - Test with maxItems: 10 before large scrapes

3. Residential proxy - Enabled by default for best reliability
4. Enable details sparingly - Only use includeDetails when you need SEO/price data

Q: Are videos included? A: Yes, videoUrl is extracted when available.

Q: What about story pins? A: Yes, story pins are supported with isStoryPin flag and storyPinData.
