Max results per ranking or search maxItems

25

How many titles to save from each browse page, ranking or search, starting at the top. Rankings hold thousands of titles (about 14,000 games have a Metascore); 0 = all of them. Title URLs always give one row each.

Default: 20 → this example uses 25

Include details (developer, publisher, user rating count) includeDetails

Yes

Also open each title's own page for developers, publishers, all platforms with their own Metascores, user rating count, franchise and Must-play badge (games), or directors, writers, cast and production companies (movies and TV). Costs one extra event per title; turn it off for a faster, lower-cost ranking-only run.
