Troubleshooting

Why am I getting no results?

Check your keyword spelling, especially if using Persian characters. Try a shorter or more general term. Also confirm that Digikala.com is accessible from your location, as the site may be restricted on some networks.

The run stopped before reaching my maxItems limit.

The Actor stops when Digikala has no more search results for your keyword. Your keyword may have fewer total products than your limit. Try a broader search term to get more results.

Some product fields are empty in my dataset.

Not every product listing on Digikala has a rating, review count, or discount. Empty fields mean that information was not present on the product card. This is expected behavior.

The Actor is running slowly.

The Actor paces requests to respect Digikala's servers. For large runs, expect a few minutes of runtime. If speed is critical, you can run multiple instances with different keywords in parallel.
