Notes
- Proxies: Seeking Alpha requires residential proxies beyond page 1. Without them only the first page of each feed loads — Yahoo Finance and StockAnalysis still work proxy-free.
- S&P 500 lists in
src/sp500.tsare snapshots as of 2025 and are not fetched live. - A run typically completes in 2–5 minutes.
