Collect paginated product listings from Target search with resilient request handling and rich product details ready for analysis, monitoring, and automation. This actor helps you build structured datasets for pricing intelligence, assortment tracking, and catalog research.

Features

• Search-focused extraction - Collect products by keyword or search URL.
• Rich product fields - Capture title, pricing, ratings, brand, images, and product links.
• Reliable pagination - Gather results across multiple pages with offset-based pagination that self-recovers when Target changes request behavior.
• Marketplace visibility - Identify marketplace items directly in output.
• Runtime diagnosis - When Target changes headers or endpoint behavior, the actor re-reads the documented API flow and probes live endpoints before falling back.
• Clean dataset output - Records are saved without empty null fields.
