The WellRx Drug Prices Scraper turns the public wellrx.com data surface into a clean, structured dataset ready for analytics, BI, and downstream automation. It calls the public endpoints, normalizes the response, and flattens each record into one row.

🎯 Target Audience	💡 Primary Use Cases

📋 What the WellRx Drug Prices Scraper does

• Calls the public wellrx.com endpoints with the filters you supply.
• Parses the response and flattens each record into a flat row.
• Cleans verbose source keys into stable snake or camelCase names.
• Surfaces upstream errors as a single-row error record instead of crashing.
• Exports tabular output in every format the Apify dataset supports.

💡 Why it matters: wellrx.com exposes valuable public data, but pulling it into a spreadsheet or warehouse usually means writing client code, managing pagination, and parsing nested responses. This actor wraps all of that.
