⚠️ Important Notes

🔒 Proxy Requirements

• ✅ Residential proxies are HIGHLY recommended for Amazon scraping
• ❌ Amazon has sophisticated bot detection - datacenter proxies may get blocked
• 🛡️ Default configuration uses Apify's residential proxies for best results
• 💰 Using proxies incurs additional costs but ensures successful scraping

⏱️ Rate Limiting & Performance

• 🤖 Automatic request throttling to avoid detection
• 📏 Respects Amazon's robots.txt guidelines
• ⏰ Large scraping jobs take time - be patient!
• 🎯 Use extractDetails: false for faster results when detailed data isn't needed

✅ Data Quality & Freshness

• 💰 Prices and availability change frequently - always check scrapedAt timestamp
• ❓ Some fields may be null if data isn't available on the page
• 🔄 Run scraper regularly to maintain up-to-date data
• 📍 locationText affects shipping and availability information
