Yes, this web scraping approach works with pandas for post-processing. After Apify Actors extract and normalize data into JSON or CSV, you can use pandas or dataset iteration for downstream analysis.

Limitations of using Apify Actors for data extraction include rate limiting and associated platform costs. While it automates actor selection and output normalization, users must manage API quotas and monitor scraping expenses.
