Q1: Can I control how many pages the scraper crawls?
Yes. You can specify maxPagesPerCrawl in the input configuration to limit or expand crawl depth.
Q2: Does this scraper support dynamic content? It is optimized for static HTML extraction via Cheerio. For highly dynamic sections, extending the crawler with browser-based scraping is possible.
Q3: How do I supply input URLs?
Provide a list of URLs under the startUrls field in the input schema. The crawler begins from these pages.
Q4: What happens if a page cannot be loaded? The scraper logs detailed error messages and continues processing remaining URLs without halting the entire run.
Primary Metric: Processes an average of 40–60 tower.jp pages per minute under normal network conditions.
Reliability Metric: Maintains a 98% successful fetch rate across large batches, thanks to robust request handling and retry logic.
Efficiency Metric: Uses minimal system resources due to Cheerio’s lightweight parsing engine, enabling high-volume crawls without heavy CPU load.
Quality Metric: Delivers >95% data completeness, consistently extracting clean titles and structured metadata across various page types.
