That being said, you can estimate how well your desired website will react by visiting it yourself and attempting to find the desired information, if this results in getting CAPTCHAs, IP blocking, or any other bot detection it may result in the breaking of your extractor.

What counts as a query?
The easiest way to think of a query is one page or URL. For example, if you run through 50 product pages, that would be considered 50 queries. For interactive extractors, a set of inputs is considered one query, two searches that used two different dates would still be two queries. Additionally, the pagination action inside the interactive extractor also counts for 1 query per paginated page.
