How to Use

Option A: URL-Based Scraping

1. Navigate to a Sams Club product page and click "Reviews"
2. Apply filters if desired (e.g., 4+ stars, verified purchases)
3. Copy the full URL from your browser
4. Paste into the urls array
5. Set max_items_per_url to control pagination depth

Option B: Product ID Scraping

1. Extract the product ID from the URL (e.g., 13630507032)
2. Set product_id and use filter parameters: rating, is_verified, sort_by, page
3. Leave urls empty
4. Run the scraper

Best Practices

• For recent feedback: Use sort_by: "submission-desc"
• For authentic reviews: Set is_verified: true
• For volume collection: Use max_items_per_url: 200 with pagination
• For reliability: Enable ignore_url_failures: true in bulk runs
• For compliance: Use RESIDENTIAL proxies matching the US to avoid detection

Common scenarios:

• Scrape reviews for a single product → Use Product ID mode with filters
• Compare reviews across multiple products → Use URL mode with multiple URLs
• Monitor review changes over time → Schedule recurring runs with the same configuration
