Limitations & Integrity

• Anti-bot & Geo-fencing: Weedmaps enforces geo-restrictions and Fastly WAF protections. Residential proxies within legal jurisdictions (US) are used to maintain high reliability.
• Menu Scraping Overhead: Enabling scrapeMenuItems fetches individual storefront menus and takes longer per dispensary than storefront directory extraction.
• Truthful Data Guarantee: The Actor never fabricates records. Nonexistent locations or empty query regions return truthful empty results with informative diagnostics.
