    "https://www.sima-land.ru/search/p3/?per-page=20&q=%D1%83%D1%86%D0%B5%D0%BD%D0%BA%D0%B0&sort=rank&viewtype=cards"
  ],
  "ignore_url_failures": true,
  "max_items_per_url": 200
}

Parameter	Type	Description	Example
urls	Array	Sima-land search result page URLs you want to scrape	["https://www.sima-land.ru/search/..."]
max_items_per_url	Integer	Maximum products to collect per URL (1–200 recommended)	200
ignore_url_failures	Boolean	If true, continues scraping even if some URLs fail; if false, halts on first error	true

How to get URLs:

1. Go to Sima-land.ru and perform a product search
2. Use the filters and sorting options (category, price range, popularity, etc.)
3. Copy the full URL from your browser (includes query parameters like q=, sort=, per-page=)
4. Paste into the urls array

Tip: URLs typically include query parameters (q= for search term, sort= for sorting, per-page= for page size). Keep these intact for accurate scraping.
