What breaks, and the fix

Of the failures since 14 Aug 2026, the site answered:

999: 43.9% of failures 999 means the site refused the fetch. Treat it like a block: retry once with the JavaScript token and the country the successful calls use, then stop.
200: 14.0% of failures The site answered 200 with a block or consent page instead of the content, and Crawlbase counted it as a failure rather than bill you for it. Retry once with the JavaScript token and the country the successful calls use.
0: 6.4% of failures A status of 0 is a request that never got an answer inside the timeout. Retry once with the JavaScript token if the pattern needs a browser.
591: 22.3% of failures A 5xx is the site failing, not the fetch. Retry after a minute.

Run it on a schedule

A catalogue refresh is a list of product URLs. Push it to the Crawler with a callback, let it pace the calls and retry what the site refuses, and read the results from Cloud Storage. The median answer on this site is 1.8s.
