No, only the listing cards shown in category or services results, keeping runs fast and cost-efficient. Can I enter multiple category URLs at once? Yes! You can now add up to 3 different Capterra category URLs in a single run. The actor will scrape all of them and automatically remove duplicate products that appear in multiple categories. How many listings appear per page? Typically 25. Is the "Doubtful Website" field always accurate? It's a best-effort guess from Yahoo search; verify before critical use. What happens if I scrape 3 URLs and a product appears in multiple categories? The actor automatically deduplicates! Each product only appears once in your results. The sourceUrl field shows which category it was first found in. Does migration work with multiple URLs? Yes! The actor saves complete state including which categories are finished and which products have been processed. If a server migration happens, it resumes exactly where it left off.
