Add Your Products - Input SKU or EAN codes with country codes 2. Run the Actor - Processes multiple SKUs concurrently 3. Get Results - Receive structured pricing data ready for analysis ### Input Format The scraper accepts product codes in a simple text format: 1. Select your country from the dropdown (default: Netherlands) 2. Enter product codes in the text area, one per line: 2813164546123018462 8720648364181 4024074895542 193575000923 💡 How it Works: - Our UNIQUE algorithm automatically detects SKU, EAN, or GTIN format - Just paste your product codes - one per line - The scraper converts EAN/GTIN to Google Shopping SKUs automatically - All products use the selected Google Shopping country site ## 📊 Item Limits & Plan Tiers The actor enforces item limits based on your plan tier to ensure fair usage: ### Default Limits - Free/Non-Paid Plan: 20 unique products per dataset - Paid Plans: Configurable via ACTOR_MAX_PAID_DATASET_ITEMS environment variable ### How It Works 1. Unique Product Tracking: The actor counts unique products based on SKU/EAN identifiers 2. Existing Items: On re-runs, previously processed items are counted toward your limit 3. Automatic Truncation: If you request more items than your limit allows, the actor will: - Process items up to your limit - Add a warning message to the dataset - Log the truncation in the console ### Limit Enforcement The actor uses two-layer enforcement for reliability: 1. Pre-processing Check: Validates limit before fetching data 2. Runtime Check: Ensures limit is not exceeded during processing ### Configuring Your Limit For paid plans, set your limit in the actor's environment variables: 1. Go to Apify Console → Your Actor → Settings 2. Navigate to Environment variables 3. Add variable: - Name: ACTOR_MAX_PAID_DATASET_ITEMS - Value: Your desired limit (e.g., 100, 1000) 4. Click Save ### Example Scenarios Scenario 1: First Run (0 existing items) - Limit: 20 items - Request: 15 products - Result: ✅ All 15 products processed Scenario 2: Near Limit (15 existing items) - Limit: 20 items - Request: 10 products - Result: ⚠️ Only 5 products processed (warning added to dataset) Scenario 3: Limit Reached (20 existing items) - Limit: 20 items - Request: 5 products - Result: ❌ No processing, error message in dataset ### Testing Locally Test different limits using environment variables: bash # Test with default limit (20) python main.py # Test with custom limit export ACTOR_MAX_PAID_DATASET_ITEMS=5 python main.py # Test very low limit export ACTOR_MAX_PAID_DATASET_ITEMS=1 python main.py 💡 Pro Tip: The limit counts unique products only. Duplicate requests for the same SKU/EAN don't count multiple times. ## 🌐 Supported Countries - 🇺🇸 United States (US) - 🇳🇱 Netherlands (NL) - 🇩🇪 Germany (DE) - 🇫🇷 France (FR) - 🇬🇧 United Kingdom (UK) - 🇪🇸 Spain (ES) - 🇮🇹 Italy (IT) - 🇧🇪 Belgium (BE) - 🇦🇹 Austria (AT) - 🇨🇭 Switzerland (CH) - 🇵🇱 Poland (PL) - 🇸🇪 Sweden (SE) - 🇩🇰 Denmark (DK) - 🇳🇴 Norway (NO) - 🇫🇮 Finland (FI) ## 🔍 Supported Product Identifiers ### Direct SKU Numbers Google Shopping's unique product identifiers for exact matching: - Format: Long numeric codes (e.g., "13284544990519418637") - Source: Google Shopping URLs after /r/country/ - Best for: Guaranteed exact product match ### EAN/GTIN Barcodes Our advanced algorithm matches these standard identifiers to the correct Google Shopping products: 1.
