Local development

Run this folder as its own Actor:

$apify run --input-file storage/key_value_stores/default/INPUT.json

Validate the Actor contract and stored live records:

apify validate-schema
node dataset-validator.js

Access and compliance

If the source portal returns a challenge or access denial, the Actor records diagnostics and omits that page rather than fabricating output. Use only public pages and an authorized purpose. Proxy access can incur account costs and does not authorize bypassing CAPTCHA, authentication, robots directives, or other access controls.

Output files

• .actor: Actor metadata and schemas.
• src: This portal's standalone adapter and shared extraction runtime.
• storage/datasets/default: Apify-style local result records.
• storage/key_value_stores/default/RUN_SUMMARY.json: run result and diagnostics summary.
• output/dataset.json and output/dataset.jsonl: exported live-only result files.
