📈 Performance & limits

💡 Tips for best results

1. Use topic pages: Topic pages (e.g., /topic/python/) provide the richest listing data including ratings, reviews, student counts, and learning objectives
2. Start without detail enrichment: Listing data is already comprehensive — enable includeDetails only if you need full descriptions and syllabus
3. Keywords become topics: Search queries are converted to topic URLs (e.g., "web development" → /topic/web-development/)
4. Combine multiple searches: Pass multiple keywords in searches to collect courses across different topics in one run

❓ FAQ

Q: What data is available without visiting detail pages? A: Listing pages provide title, headline, ratings, reviews, student count, lecture count, content hours, instructor, category, badges, objectives, and caption languages.

Q: Why don't category page URLs work? A: Category pages (/courses/development/) load course data dynamically. Use topic pages (/topic/python/) instead, which include pre-rendered course data.

Q: How many courses can I scrape? A: Each topic page shows 12 courses. With maxPages: 100, you can get up to 1,200 courses per topic.

Q: What happens if a page fails? A: The scraper automatically retries. If all attempts fail, it continues with the next page or search query.
