Input Format

The scraper accepts a JSON configuration with three main parameters:

{
  "urls": [
    "https://www.qvc.com/c/beauty/makeup/-/rhuy/c.html?currentPage=2#plModule"
  ],
  "ignore_url_failures": true,
  "max_items_per_url": 200
}

Field	Type	Description
urls	Array	Direct links to QVC product search/category pages. Accepts pagination URLs with page numbers and filters. Paste one URL per entry or use bulk edit for multiple URLs.
ignore_url_failures	Boolean	If true, the scraper continues running if some URLs fail or return no results. If false, any failure stops the entire run. Default: true for reliability.
max_items_per_url	Integer	Maximum products to extract from each URL (e.g., 200). Controls volume and cost. Recommended range: 20–500 depending on needs.

Pro tip: Use category or search URLs with specific filters (e.g., price range, brand) to narrow data collection and reduce costs.
