Fields you get

A product page usually carries an ld+json Product block with name, price, currency and availability, and the same values in the visible markup. Read the block first; it changes less often than the layout.

What breaks, and the fix

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

403: 60.9% 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: 30.4% 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.

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 2.1s.
