Using QUERY instead of URL gives you more flexibility and clarity when scraping. While a full URL points to a specific page, a query typically represents a search term, filter, or dynamic input used to generate results on a site. Many modern websites—especially those with search or filter functions—construct pages dynamically based on queries, not fixed URLs. By using QUERY, you : - Focus on what data you want, not where it lives. - Allow the Actor to build the right URL internally. - Enable batch operations on multiple queries more easily. - Support non-URL-based inputs, like keywords, IDs, or product names. In short, QUERY is often more intuitive and powerful when you're scraping based on intent rather than specific page addresses. ### FAQ : [F]requently [A] very Wrong or Misunderstood [Q]ueries | | QUERY | Description | |-|-|-| |❌| https://www.patreon.com/TheBestShow/info | This URL does not exists!
