Tips for Best Results

Start with Practical Limits

• Use results_wanted: 20 for validation runs.
• Increase volume gradually once output quality is confirmed.

Keep Offer Collection Enabled for Pricing Analysis

• Enable collectOffers when shipping and seller-level comparisons matter.
• Disable it for faster runs focused on top-line product data.

Use Proxies for Consistent Throughput

• Residential proxy settings usually provide the most stable collection.
• For recurring schedules, keep proxy configuration consistent across runs.

Choose Focused Queries

• Specific terms like gaming laptop 16gb return cleaner datasets.
• Broad keywords can mix multiple product classes in one run.

Integrations

• Google Sheets — Build live pricing dashboards.
• Airtable — Create searchable product intelligence bases.
• Looker Studio / BI tools — Visualize trend lines and seller spreads.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I run this actor with only a direct product URL?

Yes. Provide startUrl (or url) with a Billiger product URL and the actor will collect a detailed record for that product.

How many products can I collect in one run?

You can set any practical limit with results_wanted. For best reliability, scale gradually and tune maxPages to your use case.

Why are some fields empty for certain products?

Some listings do not expose every attribute (for example GTIN or SKU). Empty fields are expected when source data is missing.

Can I collect seller offers for every product?

Yes. Keep collectOffers enabled to include seller rows with price and shipping details.

Is this suitable for recurring monitoring?

Yes. This actor is designed for scheduled runs and comparative analysis across repeated snapshots.
