Frequently Asked Questions

Can I run with only a keyword?

Yes. Provide keyword and the actor will collect matching release records.

Can I run with only a URL?

Yes. URL mode works for sell-list links with master_id or release_id, and also standard release or master pages.

Does output include null values?

No. Empty and null fields are removed before records are saved.

How many records can I collect?

Set results_wanted to your preferred amount, then tune max_pages to control scan depth.

What if my URL does not include a recognized release or master identifier?

Use a supported URL pattern or provide keyword explicitly.
