# DataForSEO Stage 1 pilot packet

Generated: 2026-05-20T16:41:07.180Z

This packet prepares the first paid source acquisition stage without spending credits. It does not call DataForSEO.

## Guardrails
- Stage 1 target cap: 12
- Recommended first depth: 100 reviews per ASIN
- Stop after the first payload/run and inspect raw JSON quality + cost before increasing toward 1000 reviews per ASIN.
- Store credentials only in shell environment variables; do not commit credentials.

## Current status
- Stage 1 targets: 10
- Ready task payload rows: 6
- Missing ASINs: 4

## Files
- `data/sources/dataforseo/asin-map.csv` - fill ASIN/ProductUrl before task creation.
- `content_population_exports/dataforseo_amazon_reviews_task_payload.json` - generated DataForSEO task payload; empty until ASINs are filled.
- `content_population_exports/dataforseo_amazon_reviews_curl_template.sh` - safe curl template using env credentials.
- `data/sources/dataforseo/amazon-review-output-template.json` - local raw-output shape expected by source validators.

## DataForSEO notes
- Amazon reviews task creation requires an ASIN plus location and language parameters.
- Keep `depth` between 100 and 1000 for top-3 research runs; increase only after output quality is proven.
