FAQ

Does this work with both UK and US markets? Yes. Use country: "gb" for UK (default) or country: "us" for US. Category and location slugs are automatically mapped to the correct URL format.

How many sellers can I scrape per run? By default, up to 50 sellers. Increase maxSellers for larger batches. For best performance, keep runs under 500 sellers.

Do I need a proxy? A proxy is recommended but not required for small runs. For large-scale scraping (200+ sellers), use the Apify proxy to avoid rate limiting.

Can I scrape specific neighborhoods? Yes. Use categoryUrls with the exact Bark.com URL for your target neighborhood, or set the location parameter to a specific location slug.

What data is available for each seller? Each seller includes: name, bio, location, rating, review count, services offered, profile image, and up to maxReviewsPerSeller individual reviews.

How fresh is the data? The Actor extracts data in real-time from Bark.com pages. Review counts and ratings reflect current values at the time of scraping.
