Parameter	Type	Description	Default Value
searchQuery	string	Amazon search query (e.g., "dress").	"dress"
products_max	number	(Optional) Maximum number of products to scrape (if implemented).	Infinity

Note: The actor dynamically constructs the search URL using the provided searchQuery parameter.

📤 Output

The Actor outputs a structured JSON dataset containing product details. A sample output might look like:

3  "products": [
4    {
5      "title": "Sponsored Ad - Example Product Title",
6      "link": "https://www.amazon.com/dp/EXAMPLE",
7      "image": "https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/EXAMPLE.jpg",
8      "price": "$49.99",
9      "rating": "4.0 out of 5 stars",
10      "reviews": "61",
11      "sponsored": true
12    },

🔍 How It Works

Input Handling

The Actor reads its input via Actor.getInput() and extracts the searchQuery parameter. It then constructs the corresponding Amazon search URL.

Data Storage

Extracted data is stored in Apify's default dataset, making it available for further processing or export in JSON format.

Proxy & Robustness

The Actor leverages Apify's proxy configuration (e.g., residential proxies) and sets an extended request timeout to ensure a smooth scraping process while reducing the risk of being blocked.
