💰 Pricing

This actor uses pay-per-event pricing — you only pay for subscription boxes successfully scraped.

How billing works:

• ✅ The $0.50 start fee applies once per run regardless of results
• ✅ Each box record pushed to the dataset is charged at $0.01
• ✅ Pages that fail to load or return no data are not charged
• ✅ The actor stops automatically when your Apify account charge limit is reached
• ✅ Checkpoint saves progress — restarting after a spending limit uses credits only for new boxes

Example: Scrape 200 boxes = $0.50 (start) + $2.00 (200 × $0.01) = $2.50 total

⚡ Performance & Limits

• Product pages fetched in parallel (up to 6 concurrent) per listing page
• Results pushed to the dataset immediately after each box is scraped
• Checkpoint saved after every box — restart resumes from the last completed page
• The actor stops cleanly when maxItems or spending limit is reached
• Images, media, fonts, and stylesheets are blocked during browsing for maximum speed

❓ FAQ

Q: What should I use as startUrl? A: Any Cratejoy category, collection, or search results page URL. Examples: https://www.cratejoy.com/collections/top-trending-boxes, https://www.cratejoy.com/subscription-boxes/beauty/, or a custom search URL. The actor discovers product links automatically.

Q: How are pros and cons generated? A: Pros and cons are automatically inferred from the box data — not scraped text. pros is built from high ratings, free shipping, gift options, trial offers, and review volume. cons reflects sold-out status, lack of free shipping, or low review count.

Q: Why are Subscribers_count and Top_positive_review always null? A: Cratejoy does not display subscriber counts or structured review text in a consistent extractable format on public listing pages. These fields are always null and should be ignored in your workflow.

Q: How are eco-friendly, cruelty-free, and organic flags detected? A: These boolean flags are detected by scanning the full page text for specific keywords — "eco-friendly", "sustainable", "cruelty-free", "not tested on animals", "certified organic", etc. They reflect what the seller claims on their Cratejoy listing.

Q: Can I scrape a specific niche or category? A: Yes. Navigate to that category on Cratejoy, copy the URL, and use it as startUrl. The actor will only scrape boxes from that category.

Q: What happens if a box page fails to load? A: The actor logs the failure, skips that URL, and continues with the remaining boxes. No charge is applied for failed pages.

Q: Can I export results to Excel or CSV? A: Yes. All results are pushed to the Apify dataset, which can be exported to JSON, CSV, Excel, and more directly from the Apify Console after each run.
