🌟 Key Features

1. Official API v2 Integration:
   • Queries the official, stable GSA Opportunities API v2 for 100% accurate, up-to-date government bid opportunities.
2. Zero-Configuration Demo Mode:
   • If you do not have a GSA API key, the actor automatically defaults to the official open DEMO_KEY (rate-limited by IP, perfect for daily watcher checks).
3. Bring Your Own Key (BYOC):
   • Easily paste your free public GSA API key (takes 10 seconds to generate in your SAM.gov profile) to scale to high-volume bulk scans without rate limit constraints.
4. Rich Metadata Extraction:
   • Extracts solicitation numbers, active status, direct opportunity URLs, solicitation types, deadlines, agencies, office offices, and descriptions.
