🛠️ How It Works

This Actor integrates with an edge-optimized Cloudflare Worker backend, executing direct HTTP requests to Aptoide's cache gateway endpoints (ws75-cache.aptoide.com and ws75.aptoide.com). It automatically handles multi-page cursor pagination, serializes complex payloads, and returns clean, developer-friendly JSON arrays instantly.
