Pricing

This Actor uses pay-per-event pricing. You pay $0.001 per opportunity returned, plus standard Apify platform usage, which is small because the Actor uses lightweight HTTP requests (no browser). You are never charged for results that are not returned. To cap spending, set a maximum cost per run in the run options.

Tips

• Start with a small max-results value to check your filters, then scale up.
• Schedule the Actor (for example daily) to monitor changes over time.
• The data comes straight from the source, so its freshness and completeness depend on that publisher.
