📋 What the INEGI Mexico Indicators Scraper does

• Calls the public INEGI BIE indicators endpoint.
• Parses the response and flattens each record into a clean row.
• Casts numeric fields and normalizes timestamps for downstream tools.
• Surfaces upstream errors as a clean error record instead of crashing.
• Exports as CSV, Excel, JSON, JSONL, XML, RSS, or HTML.

💡 Why it matters: the source is public but its format is not analyst friendly. This actor returns a flat, tool-ready dataset.
