One-off charge or lower price for ability to use proxies locally?

$49/m is too steep for me at this point in time–I'm just exploring the platform and am hoping that it's possible to pay a handful of schrute bucks so I can run my actor locally on my own machine.

Hey there! For actors that are open-source (meaning you could get access to the code) - you could always clone the repo and run it locally. Paid actors and some other actors that don't have the code open-source - it's not possible, I'm afraid
Thanks – I'm actually writing my own actor to scrape content from a store listing that has decent anti-scraping measures. Because of the protections, I had wanted to make sure I was running behind a proxy–it looks like I can't do that locally, though.

Just means I have to push my changes up every time and wait for a bit to see what the results of my changes are.
I was hoping I could manage to get the ability to use the proxy for local work to speed up my workflow, but it looks like the lowest tier paid account with proxy access is $49/m?
Yeah, external access to proxy (exactly your case) is only available on paid plans (starting from 49), but try writing a message to our support - maybe they'll offer some options
Perfect–thank you
