}

Run summary

After each run, a summary is saved to the Key-Value Store under the key RUN_SUMMARY with total fetched, pushed, and filtered counts per query.

Tips

• Use multiple queries to cover a topic from different angles
• Combine category + freshness filters for highly targeted results
• For large runs (50+ queries), use Apify proxies to avoid rate limiting
• Use the "Past 24 hours" freshness filter for breaking news monitoring
