Troubleshooting
Why am I getting no results?
Verify that the startUrl is a valid 1stDibs category or search page. Also check that maxItems is set to a number greater than 0.
Why is the run slow?
Scraping many listings takes time. Reduce maxItems or use a more specific search URL to limit the number of pages.
Why are some fields empty?
Not all listings have the same information. The Actor returns whatever is available on the page; missing data will be blank.
Why did the run fail?
Check the Actor log for errors. Common issues include invalid URLs or network problems. Try again or contact support.
Can I scrape a single listing page?
Yes, you can provide a direct listing URL as startUrl. The Actor will collect that listing's details.
