📋 What the ICD-10 Codes Scraper does

• Search across ICD-10-CM, ICD-10-PCS, ICD-9-CM diagnosis and procedure tables
• Returns code + canonical description for each match
• Streamed via NLM's official Clinical Table API
• Filters by free-text search (matches both code prefix and description)
• Exports in JSON, CSV, Excel, or XML

💡 Why it matters: Coding tables are foundational, but extracting them in bulk from official sources usually means crawling PDF appendices. This actor returns them as clean JSON instantly.
