Frequently Asked Questions

How many products can I collect in one run?

Set maxProducts up to 10,000, or use 0 to collect without an explicit limit. The actual count depends on products available in the category.

Should I use categoryUrl or keyword?

Use categoryUrl when you want strict control over a specific page. Use keyword for simpler category-based runs where you only need the slug.
