❓ Frequently asked questions

Q: Does this scraper work for Mercado Livre Brasil? Yes. Brazil uses the domain mercadolivre.com.br (with a v) — the actor auto-detects BR URLs and returns BRL prices.

Q: Can I scrape MercadoLibre without logging in or providing cookies? Yes. No authentication, no cookies, no browser setup required.

Q: Will I get blocked? No. The actor handles MercadoLibre's bot protection automatically — no setup or proxy configuration on your side. Just paste your URLs and run.

Q: How do I find a seller's ID to use seller mode? Open any of the seller's listings on MercadoLibre. Right-click → View Page Source → search for _CustId_. The numeric ID after that is the seller ID.

Q: What happens when a product URL returns 404? The actor automatically retries the alternate URL format (catalog ↔ article). If both fail, you get a record with a clear reason code instead of a silent miss.

Q: How do I scrape products by keyword, not URL? Use search mode with searchQuery: {"mode":"search","country":"MX","searchQuery":"iphone 15","maxItems":100}.

Q: Does it support scheduled runs? Yes. Schedule it daily in Apify Console to monitor price changes, inventory, or new listings.
