Data actors that don't lie to you

Most scrapers fail silently. When the source blocks them or rate-limits them, they finish "successfully" with empty rows, and you only notice much later — downstream, in your pipeline, after you've already trusted the data.

Everything published here is built the other way around:

  • A blocked response is never reported as success. HTTP 429/403 and HTML error pages are detected and retried, not written to your dataset as empty rows.
  • Zero results and a failure are different things, and they are labelled differently.
  • You are only charged for rows that actually contain data.
  • Official APIs are preferred over scraping wherever the data is published officially, because those don't break when a website is redesigned.

Every actor ships with a test suite that is verified by deliberately breaking the code and confirming the tests fail.
