❓ Frequently Asked Questions

Q: How many products can I scrape? A: FREE tier: 25 products per run. PAID tier: unlimited products across as many searches as you like.

Q: What's the difference between Overview and Detail mode? A: Overview is the fast path — search results with price, ratings, image, and availability. Detail adds the full ingredients list, guaranteed analysis, feeding directions, specifications table, dimensions, all images, and the long description for every product.

Q: Can I get ingredients and nutrition data? A: Yes — switch scrapeMode to detail to pull the full ingredients list and guaranteed analysis for pet food and treats.

Q: What output formats are available? A: JSON, CSV, and Excel — export directly from the Apify dataset.

Q: Can I scrape by category instead of keywords? A: Yes — use the browseGroups field with a Petco category group such as dog, cat, or fish.

Q: Can I filter results? A: Yes — use the filters field to narrow by Petco's own facets (brand, lifestage, flavor, and more). Each run prints the available facets for your search in the log.

Q: Is this legal? A: Yes — we only extract publicly available product data. See the legal section below.

Q: How fresh is the data? A: Every run pulls live data directly from Petco at the moment you run it. Schedule runs to keep prices and stock up to date.

🐞 Troubleshooting

No results returned

• Check that your keywords match real Petco products
• Try a broader search term or a different sort order

Missing ingredients, specs, or description

• Ingredients, guaranteed analysis, and specs only appear in Detail mode — switch scrapeMode to detail

Fewer results than expected on the free tier

• The FREE tier is capped at 25 products per run — upgrade to PAID for unlimited results

⚖️ Is it legal to scrape data?

Our actors are ethical and do not extract any private user data, such as email addresses, gender, or location. They only extract what is publicly shared. We therefore believe that our actors, when used for ethical purposes by Apify users, are safe.

However, you should be aware that your results could contain personal data. Personal data is protected by the GDPR in the European Union and by other regulations around the world. You should not scrape personal data unless you have a legitimate reason to do so. If you're unsure whether your reason is legitimate, consult your lawyers.
