Advise

If You Plan To Extract A Particular Media Or ID, Always Use Lookup Mode. We Recommend Lookup Mode To Discover Specific Assets Or Values On ITunes Or The App Store. For Example, If You Wish To Search For The Id Of 432453813, Choose Lookup Mode And Enter 432453813 In The Term Section.

Conversely, If You Wish To Discover A Particular Filter Or Keyword, Search Mode Will Help You.

Consumption of Compute Units

We Have Optimized This Scraper To Execute Blazing Fast And Extract More Listings. Hence It Forefronts Each Listing Detail Request. If The Source Doesn't Block This Actor, It Will Extract A Hundred Listings In 120 Seconds With 0.01 To 0.02 Compute Units.
