Notes

• Proxy: Residential proxy is highly recommended — set proxyConfiguration: { useApifyProxy: true, apifyProxyGroups: ["RESIDENTIAL"] }
• Rate limits: Keep maxItems reasonable per run to avoid IP bans or rate throttling
• Scheduling: Use Apify Scheduler to run this actor on a recurring basis for a consistently fresh dataset
