That way you will get most information for the current day. - If you don't need product's website text - set saveWebsiteContent to false. This will lead to a lighter dataset result. ### Note on Scraping Yearly Pages When scraping a yearly page, make sure to set the filter.topNProducts option. By default, the scraper limits the results to 100 products to avoid excessive run times. If you're prepared for a longer scraping process and need more data, you can manually increase filter.topNProducts to any desired number.
