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:
0: 73.9% 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.
200: 17.2% of failures The site answered 200 with a block or consent page instead of the content, and Crawlbase counted it as a failure rather than bill you for it. Retry once with the JavaScript token and the country the successful calls use.
429: 8.5% of failures A 429 is a rate limit on the site side. Space the calls or push them to the Crawler, which paces them.
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 14.0s.
