Things to know before using it

• Prices are as displayed. Nothing has been converted. Use the per-row exchange rates or your own historical series.
• Reviews have no identifier and no text. They are numeric scores plus a date, listed newest first. Their position on a page can shift as new reviews arrive, so a small number may be duplicated across page boundaries. Reviews with identical (vendor, listing title, date, scores) are common and mostly genuine; the data has not been deduplicated.
• Reviews reference listing titles, not ids. Joining on (vendor, title) matches about 63% of reviews to a current listing. The rest are on delisted, renamed, or private listings.
• Relative dates are stored as shown ("21 months ago", "Today"). Resolve them against fetched_at.
• vendors is one row per page, so profile stats repeat across a vendor's review pages. Filter page_r = 0 unless you want the review pages.
• Vendor ratings are near-uniform (80% of vendors at 98-100%). Cancellation and dispute counts carry more signal.
• Free text is raw. Descriptions keep their original line breaks and any decorative characters. The site enforces a 50-character minimum and roughly a 10,000-character maximum.
• Category is the market's own tree, not a normalised taxonomy. About 10% of listings are outside the Drugs category.
