Proxy behavior

• Default strategy: auto — direct requests first, proxy fallback on block.
• Modes: auto (recommended), direct, apify, custom via proxyMode input or APIFY_WAVE1_PROXY_MODE env.
• Geography: Australian site; AU Apify proxy or custom AU proxy recommended when blocked.
• Retries: Rotates httpx / cloudscraper / tls_client / curl_cffi clients on 403, 429, 502, 503.
• Structured errors: Returns status: blocked or error summary instead of crashing when all strategies fail.

Limitations

• Search uses the public Algolia API; broad queries may return many results.
• Category resolution tries multiple candidate strategies; some category URLs may not resolve.
• Pricing is national; no postcode/store-specific availability.
• Probe returns diagnostics only (may produce an empty dataset).

Free trial limit

Free/trial Apify users are limited to 20 result requests per UTC day. Paid users receive normal configured limits. Set disableFreeTrialGuard: true to bypass for private testing.

Monetization

• Actor start: ~$0.005
