SerpAPI : Google reverse image search for product identification

Watch out for

SerpAPI reverse image search may return unrelated results if the photo is low quality, so implement a confidence threshold check before scraping.
Firecrawl requests can timeout or fail on complex sites, add error handling with retries and fallback to manual review for failed extractions.
Airtable has field size limits for rich text fields, truncate long descriptions to prevent record update failures.
Reverse image search often returns generic category pages instead of specific product pages, so validate that the scraped data matches the original item's key identifiers.
