What breaks, and the fix

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

403: 74.8% 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: 14.0% 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.
515: 8.7% 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 1.5s.
