What the reviews say

The scraper works reliably when it runs, but it can fail to run, omits an expected output field, and requires the cookies field to be filled.

Does it run1 praised · 1 complained2consistently works every timesometimes fails to run“Great actor! I just miss one thing to give it a 5 star rating: I need a function to calculate the amount spent on each run and it would be much easier if 'total_spendings' was an output item. Since I use this as a lead extraction tool, it's currently being more difficult than it needed to be to calculate my CPL. Besides that, it works great every time!” — 4/5
