FAQs

Q: Why are some fields missing? A: Fields are only included when SaaSHub provides the data. Products without ratings, reviews, or pricing info will simply omit those fields.

Q: How many products can I scrape? A: Set maxItems up to 1000. For full category exports with thousands of products, run multiple requests with different category filters.

Q: What does the upvotes field mean? A: SaaSHub uses a community voting system where users upvote products. Higher upvotes = more popular in the community.

Q: Can I get product descriptions? A: Yes, for byUrl mode the actor fetches the full product detail page and extracts the meta description. For search/category/alternatives modes, only the tagline is available from the listing page.
