Tips and advanced usage

• Proxy configuration: This actor uses a headless browser. For sites with anti-bot protection, enable residential proxies in the input configuration for better success rates.
• Large datasets: For runs with thousands of results, increase the memory allocation in Run Options to speed up processing. The actor automatically manages request queues and pagination.
• Scheduled runs: Use Apify Schedules to run this actor on a recurring basis. Combined with integrations (webhooks, Google Sheets, Slack), you can build automated data pipelines that keep your datasets up to date.
• API access: Every dataset is accessible via the Apify API. Use the REST API or official Python/JavaScript clients to integrate results directly into your applications.
