Frequently Asked Questions

Can I scrape closed prediction markets?

This scraper focuses primarily on active and open predictions to provide real-time sentiment signals. Closed markets are generally resolved.

What happens to null values?

Any data fields that are not defined by the source API are removed from the outputs to ensure the exported dataset is neat and ready for data models.

Does the scraper require a proxy?

While not strictly required, a proxy configuration (such as Apify Proxy) is recommended for high-volume runs to prevent temporary rate limiting.

Support

For issues or custom requests, contact support through the Apify Console.
