Notes

No account or API key required — all data is publicly accessible on pw.org.
Respectful crawling — the actor uses low concurrency to avoid overloading pw.org's servers.
Data reflects the current state of the pw.org directory at the time of the run. Agents, submission windows, and deadlines change frequently — re-run regularly for up-to-date results.
