Proxy

This Actor uses no proxy by default. To reduce the risk of IP blocking, enable Apify Proxy (useApifyProxy: true). Residential proxies from Canada or the US are recommended for bbb.org. When using proxy:

• Change country: Set apifyProxyCountry to another code (e.g. US)
• Use different groups: Set apifyProxyGroups (e.g. ["SHADER"] for datacenter)

Proxy usage is billed separately. See Apify Proxy for pricing.
