What breaks, and the fix

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

999: 58.5% 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.
591: 27.1% 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 14.7s.
