๐Ÿ“‹ What this scraper does

  • Calls the public source endpoint and parses the response.
  • Normalises each record into a flat row with stable field names.
  • Streams results straight into the dataset for instant export.
  • Surfaces upstream errors as a single error record instead of crashing.

๐Ÿ’ก Why it matters Public data is often locked behind awkward shapes, pagination tricks, and rate limits. This actor handles all of that and hands you a clean table.
