📋 What this Scraper does

• Accepts one keyword query
• Fans out in parallel to 4 registries

• Returns one combined dataset ready for open

💡 Why it matters: instead of running 4 separate actors, you get a single normalized dataset.

⚙️ Input

Field	Type	Required	Description
query	string	✅	Keyword to search across all registries
maxItems	integer	❌	Max records per source (free: 10)
sources	array	❌	Which registries to query (default: all 4)

{ "query": "shopify", "maxItems": 10 }

{ "query": "tech", "sources": ["ireland-cro", "canada-corporations"], "maxItems": 25 }

⚠️ Good to Know: Spain BORME is date-indexed (latest official gazette day) and does not support keyword filtering - results from that source represent the most recent BORME issue.
