🛡️ Proxy & Performance

This actor uses Apify proxy by default. The ANIMA directory is a single-region Italian site with no aggressive anti-scraping measures — the default proxy configuration works well.

Typical run time for all 700+ companies: ~15–25 minutes depending on concurrency and network conditions.
