Running locally and in Apify Cloud

apify run --purge --input-file INPUT.json
apify push
apify call <actor-id> --input-file INPUT.json

Google SERP Proxy is HTTP-only, so the Actor sends its Shopping request through the scoped proxy URL rather than trying to tunnel Playwright through it. Local external proxy access depends on the Apify account configuration; cloud runs are the authoritative validation when that feature is unavailable locally.

Explicit CAPTCHA or unusual-traffic pages are never parsed, stored, or repeatedly retried. Product URLs are included when Google exposes a public product or merchant target; otherwise the optional URL fields are omitted and identity uses the public card metadata plus stable visible fields.
