Troubleshooting

Why am I getting no results?

Check that your filters are not too restrictive. For example, combining minDiscount 80 with maxPrice 5 may return nothing. Try removing one filter at a time.

Why does the Actor ignore my searchQuery?

If you provided a startUrl, the Actor scrapes that URL directly and ignores all API filters. Use either startUrl or the filters, not both.

Why are some products missing from the output?

If inStockOnly is true, out-of-stock products are skipped. Set it to false to include them.

Why did the run stop before reaching maxItems?

The Actor stops when there are no more products matching your filters. Try broadening your search or removing some filters.

Why do I see prices in EUR even though I selected another language?

Prices are always returned in EUR by Instant Gaming. The language setting only changes the storefront language, not the currency.

FAQ

Question	Answer
Do I need an Instant Gaming account or API key?	No. The Actor reads the public product pages directly, so no login or key is required.
Can I scrape a specific Instant Gaming URL?	Yes. Paste any Instant Gaming page URL into startUrl, and the Actor will collect every product listed on that page.
How do I filter by discount?	Set minDiscount to the percentage you want, for example 50 for games that are at least 50% off.
Can I filter by platform?	Yes. Use platformType to choose Steam, PlayStation Store, Nintendo eShop, and more.
What does inStockOnly do?	When set to true, the Actor skips any product that is currently out of stock, so your dataset only contains buyable items.

What languages are supported?	The Actor supports English, French, German, Spanish, Italian, Brazilian Portuguese, and Polish storefronts.

What output formats are available?	You can export your results as CSV, JSON, Excel, or XML from the Apify dataset.
Does the Actor handle pagination?	Yes. It automatically follows pagination on search and category pages until maxItems is reached or no more products are found.
