Best Practices

1. Pagination Strategy

• Start with page: 1 to understand the total number of products
• Use the totalAvailablePages from the response to plan your pagination
• Set perPage to maximum (70) for efficient scraping

2. Locale Selection

• Always match the locale with the category URL's country
• Use the actor's automatic locale validation
• Check supported locales for your target market

3. Rate Limiting

• Don't run multiple instances simultaneously on the same category
• Add delays between runs if scraping multiple categories
• Monitor for rate limiting responses

4. Data Processing

• Use the reference field for unique product identification
• The url field provides direct links to individual products
• Images URLs can be used directly for downloading product photos

Error Handling

The actor includes built-in error handling for common issues:

Invalid Category URL

Error: categoryUrl is required

Solution: Ensure you provide a valid Zara category URL

Unsupported Locale

Locale xx_XX not supported for country xx. Using first available: yy_YY

Solution: Check the supported locales list and use a valid combination

No Products Found

The actor will return an empty products array but won't throw an error.

Troubleshooting

Common Issues

1. Empty Results

   • Check if the category URL is correct and accessible
   • Verify the locale matches the URL's country
   • Try reducing the perPage parameter

2. Locale Warnings

   • Use supported locale combinations
   • Match the locale with the category URL's country/language

3. Pagination Issues

   • Start with page 1 to get total page count
   • Don't exceed the totalAvailablePages value

Getting Help

If you encounter issues:

1. Verify your input parameters against this documentation
2. Check the actor's logs for specific error messages
3. Test with the provided example inputs first
4. Ensure your category URLs are from the current Zara website

Data Storage

The actor automatically stores results in two ways:

1. Dataset: All scraped products are pushed to the default dataset
2. Key-Value Store: A summary is saved under the key SUMMARY containing:
   • Complete results object
   • Completion timestamp
   • Pagination information

You can access both through the Apify platform after the run completes.
