Hello
I would like to scrape simple and variable products from marketplaces that don't have an actor, like Darty (a French marketplace), but I'm not sure I'm doing it correctly. Is it the same as the configuration for a marketplace that has an existing actor, like Amazon? Could you explain what all the options are for, how to manage pagination and variable products? After that, I'd like to add n8n because I want to add conditions, avoid or delete duplicates, sort suppliers by city, create a list of all suppliers with a "contact" button, and put the CSV files in multiple formats, specifically the import format for each marketplace (I'm not sure if I should do this setup in Apify or n8n).
I ask all these questions to LLMs, and they explain it to me, but I'm not sure I've fully understood. The main problem is that they can't show me diagrams like when I use the application. They talk about a "custom vector." Does this mean the only thing I have to do is copy-paste a JSON code and nothing else, no other configuration?
Have I understood correctly that I can add conditions and therefore scrape any marketplace by specifying all of this in the JSON I give to Apify? If so, then I'm trying to understand the difference between that and the other conditions I can create in n8n.
And finally, do you use Crawl4AI? I ask my chats what the difference is with Apify, and I still can't quite understand. Apparently, it's not as precise as a scraper with custom logic (like Apify), but by adding the APIs of Groq and Deepseek, or others, to Crawl, would that make it as intelligent as Apify
Thanks
