Pricing

This actor is paid per result. You pay $0.99 per 1,000 products, with lower rates on higher tiers. There is nothing else to pay — compute and proxy costs are absorbed by Unfenced Group.

Notes

• The actor needs no proxy configuration.
• Ratings, reviews and oldPrice populate only where alternate.nl has that data for a product. Many products have no reviews; discounted items carry an oldPrice.
• Set fetchDetails to false for a faster, lighter run when you only need names, prices and links.
