Frequently asked questions
Isn't scraping fragile?
Product prices are usually in structured data (JSON-LD) on the page, which is stable to read. Apify actors handle the fetching and rotation so you're not maintaining scrapers by hand.
Should it auto-match prices?
Deliberately not — automatic price wars erode everyone's margin. This gives you the signal and a suggestion; you keep the pricing decision.
