Fields you get

A listing page carries the items of one section, each with a title, a link and often a price, plus the pagination. The detail lives on the item page; fetch it only for the items you need.

What breaks, and the fix

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

0: 40.0% 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.
403: 29.5% 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.
649: 21.2% of failures 649 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.
523: 6.3% of failures A 5xx is the site failing, not the fetch. Retry after a minute.

Run it on a schedule

Walk the listings on a cadence to find new items, then push the item URLs to the Crawler with a callback; it paces the calls and retries what the site refuses. The median answer on this site is 18.4s.
