🔒 Proxy Configuration

The actor automatically handles proxy setup:

• Default: Uses Apify Proxy for reliable data extraction
• Custom: Provide your own proxy via proxyUrl parameter
• Direct: Falls back to direct connection if no proxy is available

⚙️ Custom Proxy Format

Examples of custom proxy URLs:

{
  http://user:password@proxy-host.com:8080
  https://user:password@secure-proxy.com:3128
}

Understanding Proxies

Proxies serve as go-betweens for your internet traffic. When you connect through a proxy, your real IP address is hidden, and your requests appear to come from the proxy’s location instead of your own.

Why Use Proxies?

• Prevent IP Blocking: By distributing requests across different proxy addresses, you reduce the likelihood of a website detecting unusual activity and blocking your IP.
• Bypass Geographic Restrictions: Proxies allow you to view content or access services that may be limited to certain regions.
• Improve Privacy: Using a proxy helps keep your actual IP address private, offering an added layer of anonymity while browsing or collecting data online.

⚠️ Error Handling

The actor validates inputs before execution and returns structured error objects.
