    "useApifyProxy": true,
    "apifyProxyGroups": ["RESIDENTIAL"]
  }
}

Best practices

• Start Small – Begin with 50-100 agents to test configuration
• Enable Details Wisely – Set collectDetails: false for faster basic scraping
• Use Filters – Apply location and language filters to target specific agents
• Monitor Performance – Track compute units and runtime in Apify Console
• Schedule Regular Runs – Use Apify Scheduler for periodic data updates

Resource consumption

Agent Profiles	Runtime	Compute Units (approx)
100	2-4 min	0.03-0.06
500	10-15 min	0.15-0.25
1000	20-30 min	0.30-0.50

Note: Times vary based on collectDetails setting, network conditions, and proxy speed.
