Fields you get
A search page carries a list of results, each with a title, a link and usually a price or a snippet. Paginate with the site’s own page parameter and stop when a page repeats.
What breaks, and the fix
Of the failures since 14 Aug 2026, the site answered:
403: 49.7% of failures A 403 is the site refusing the exit. Set the country the successful calls use and retry once; a second 403 means the URL itself is protected.
0: 11.9% 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.
504: 8.2% of failures A 504 is a timeout: the page did not finish inside the limit. Retry once, and keep your own client timeout above the median answer time shown for this site.
408: 5.7% of failures 408 is not a standard HTTP answer; the site sent it as a refusal. Treat it like a block: retry once with the JavaScript token and the country the successful calls use, then stop.
517: 8.8% of failures A 5xx is the site failing, not the fetch. Retry after a minute.
Run it on a schedule
Search is the expensive side of a site. Keep the query list short, run it on a cadence through the Crawler with a callback, and fetch afterwards only the result pages you need. The median answer on this site is 14.7s.
