You can add URLs one by one, or use the Bulk edit section to add a prepared list. The ignore_url_failures parameter: If set to true, the scraper will continue running even if some URLs fail to be scraped after reaching the maximum number of retries. This ensures that one problematic URL doesn't stop your entire scraping job. When you provide a list of URLs for scraping, all options in the "Scrape with search filters" section will be disabled. The system will only collect data from the URLs you specified. #### Scrape with Search Filters: json { "max_retries_per_url": 2, // Maximum number of retry attempts for each search filter "proxy": { // Proxy configuration to avoid bot detection "useApifyProxy": true, "apifyProxyGroups": [ "RESIDENTIAL" ], "apifyProxyCountry": "ID" // Choose a country that matches your target data location }, "max_items_per_url": 20, // Total number of items you want to scrape "keyword": "laptop", // Search keyword to find products "sort_by": "4", // Sort products by specific criteria "posted_date": "30" // Filter by posting date } The keyword parameter: The search keyword to find products (e.g., "laptop", "smartphone", "baju", "sepatu"). The sort_by parameter: Sort products by various criteria: - "23" - Best Match (most relevant results) - "5" - Latest Reviews (newest reviews first) - "9" - Highest Price (most expensive first) - "4" - Lowest Price (cheapest first) - "3" - Most Sold (best sellers) The posted_date parameter: Filter products by posting date: - "7" - Last 7 days - "14" - Last 14 days - "30" - Last 30 days - "90" - Last 90 days When using search filters for scraping, you need to leave the urls field empty (or set it to null) in the "Scrape with URLs" configuration. #### General Options: The max_items_per_url parameter: Limits the number of products extracted from each product list page or search results page. The default value is 20, providing a manageable batch size while allowing for comprehensive data collection. The max_retries_per_url parameter: Sets the maximum number of retry attempts for each URL or search filters if the scrape is detected as a bot or the page fails to load. The default value is 2, providing a good balance between thoroughness and efficiency. The proxy parameter: Proxy configuration is essential for maintaining anonymity and avoiding detection. The residential proxy option ensures that your scraping activities appear as legitimate browsing, reducing the risk of being blocked or rate-limited. You should choose a country that matches the location of the website you're scraping (e.g., Indonesia/ID for tokopedia.com). ### Output Format You get the output from the Tokopedia Product Search Scraper stored in a tab.

Copy category page URLs or search result URLs. Ensure URLs contain product listings rather than individual product pages. Option B - Use Search Filters: Define your search criteria using the built-in filters: - Set keyword for specific products (e.g., "laptop", "smartphone", "baju") - Select sort_by to organize results (best match, price, reviews, sales) - Choose posted_date to filter by product listing recency (7, 14, 30, or 90 days) Step 2: Configure Settings Set appropriate retry limits (max_retries_per_url: 2-3 recommended), enable residential proxies from Indonesia (ID) or Southeast Asian countries, and limit items per URL (max_items_per_url) based on your processing needs. Enable ignore_url_failures for robust scraping. Step 3: Run Extraction Execute the scraper and monitor progress. The tool handles pagination automatically and respects rate limits to avoid blocking. Best Practices: Method Selection: - Use URL-based scraping for specific category pages or complex filtered searches - Use filter-based scraping for keyword searches with sorting and date filtering - Combine both approaches: use filters for product discovery, then URLs for targeted category extraction Scraping Strategy: - Use Indonesian (ID) residential proxies to maintain access reliability - Rotate between different category URLs to diversify data - Monitor for CAPTCHA challenges and adjust retry settings accordingly - Schedule runs during off-peak Indonesian hours (late night/early morning WIB) for better performance Filter Optimization: Sorting Strategy: - Use sort_by: "23" (Best Match) for most relevant products to your keyword - Use sort_by: "4" (Lowest Price) for budget-focused research or finding deals - Use sort_by: "9" (Highest Price) to identify premium products - Use sort_by: "3" (Most Sold) to find trending/popular items - Use sort_by: "5" (Latest Reviews) to track recently reviewed products Date Filtering Strategy: - Use posted_date: "7" (Last 7 days) for newest product listings - Use posted_date: "14" (Last 14 days) for recent additions - Use posted_date: "30" (Last 30 days) for monthly product tracking - Use posted_date: "90" (Last 90 days) for quarterly market analysis - Leave empty for all-time product listings Advanced Filter Combinations: - New budget products: keyword: "laptop", sort_by: "4", posted_date: "7" - Trending items: keyword: "smartphone", sort_by: "3", posted_date: "30" - Premium products: keyword: "kamera", sort_by: "9", posted_date: "14" - Recently reviewed: keyword: "sepatu", sort_by: "5", posted_date: "7" - Best matches: keyword: "baju", sort_by: "23", posted_date: "30" Common Issues: Connection Timeouts: - Handle by increasing retry limits (max_retries_per_url: 3-5) - Ensure using Indonesian (ID) proxies for better connectivity - Enable ignore_url_failures to continue despite timeouts Blocked Requests: - Resolve by switching to Indonesian (ID) residential proxies - Rotate proxy settings if one location is blocked - Reduce max_items_per_url to lower request frequency Large Datasets: - Manage by processing URLs in batches - Use pagination wisely with smaller max_items_per_url values - Implement delays between batch runs Empty Results: - For filter-based: Verify keyword is in Indonesian or commonly used on Tokopedia - Try broader posted_date ranges if results are limited - Test different sort_by options to see if results appear CAPTCHA Challenges: - Use high-quality Indonesian residential proxies - Adjust retry settings and implement delays - Reduce scraping frequency during peak hours Sort Code Issues: - Ensure sort_by values match exactly: "23", "5", "9", "4", "3" - Default to "23" (Best Match) if uncertain Date Filter Issues: - Ensure posted_date values match: "7", "14", "30", "90" - Leave empty for all products regardless of posting date - Note that newer filters may exclude older popular products Use Cases: - Price Monitoring: Use sort_by: "4" or "9" to track price ranges - Trend Analysis: Use sort_by: "3" (Most Sold) to identify trending products - New Product Tracking: Use posted_date: "7" or "14" to monitor latest listings - Market Research: Combine keyword with different sort options to analyze market segments - Competitor Analysis: Track specific product categories with posted_date filters ## Benefits and Applications This scraper delivers significant time savings by automating data collection that would take hours manually.
