• Validate that the page shows active agency listings before large runs.

Control Runtime Predictably

• Use results_wanted and max_pages together to cap run time.
• Start with 20 results for testing, then increase for production.

Choose Detail Strategy

• Enable collectDetails for richer datasets with extra profile fields.
• Keep it disabled for faster top-level scans.

Use Proxy in Production

• Configure proxy settings for higher consistency on long runs.

Frequently Asked Questions

How many agencies can I collect?

You can collect as many as the source makes available. The practical limit depends on your results_wanted and max_pages settings.

How do I get more results?

Increase results_wanted and max_pages in your input configuration. Larger runs may take longer to complete.

Can I scrape only listing-level data?

Yes. Set collectDetails to false to skip profile detail collection and get results faster.

What if some fields are null?

Some companies do not publish every field. The actor still returns complete available data for each record. Fields like email, year_founded, or awards may be empty for certain listings.

Can I run this daily?

Yes. It is suitable for scheduled runs for monitoring and trend tracking. Just keep your API credentials and proxy settings configured.

Does the actor handle errors automatically?

Yes. Transient errors such as network timeouts and rate limits are retried automatically with backoff. Failed pages are tracked and logged for visibility.
