Known limitations

• empik.com shows at most 4,800 products for any single search or category. Large categories are split into subcategories automatically; for very broad searches, use more specific keywords.
• ISBN and EAN codes are not included: empik.com does not make them available to automated visitors, and it blocks barcode searches.
• The 30-day lowest price, reference price and multi-buy offers only appear while a promotion runs.
• Product details are collected at a measured pace. One run delivers roughly 4,500 detailed rows per hour; split larger jobs across runs.

---
