❓ FAQ

🔍 How does this scraper work? The actor connects directly to IndexMundi, extracts commodity price pages, and parses current prices, historical data, and market statistics. All data is collected from public IndexMundi pages without using intermediary services.

📊 How accurate is the data? Data accuracy depends entirely on IndexMundi's published information. The scraper captures whatever IndexMundi displays, including prices, trends, and historical ranges. For the most critical trading decisions, cross-reference with official commodity exchange data.

📅 Can I schedule regular collection runs? Yes. Once you set up your actor, you can schedule it to run daily, weekly, or monthly on the Apify platform. Historical data is preserved across runs, so you can build your own time series dataset.

⚖️ Is it legal to scrape IndexMundi? IndexMundi's data is public information. You are responsible for reviewing IndexMundi's terms of service and your local laws before using this actor. The data you collect is for your use, and redistribution without permission may violate their terms.

🛡️ Will IndexMundi block me? IndexMundi is generally scraper-friendly, but large high-speed requests may trigger rate limiting. Our actor includes smart request delays and handles rate limits gracefully. For massive concurrent runs, enable residential proxies in paid accounts.

⚡ How long does a run take? A typical run collecting 10 commodities with 30 years of historical data takes 2 to 4 minutes. Collecting 100 commodities with full data takes 15 to 30 minutes depending on network speed and IndexMundi responsiveness.

⚠️ Are there any limits? Free users can collect up to 100 results per run. Paid users can collect up to 1,000,000 results per run.
