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:

999: 50.0% of failures 999 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.
591: 50.0% 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 3.7s.
