• Parses the response and flattens each record into one row.
• Casts numeric fields to numbers so they import cleanly into BI tools.
• Surfaces upstream errors as a clean error record instead of crashing.
• Streams results to the Apify dataset for instant download.

💡 Why it matters: Official sources publish raw feeds that are hard to consume. This actor normalises the response so the data drops straight into pandas, BigQuery, or a Google Sheet.
