⚠️ Routing Rule: Proxy OR ScrapingBee (Mutually Exclusive)

You must specify either proxy OR scrapingbee_key in your JSON payload, but never both. Passing both fields simultaneously returns an HTTP 400 Bad Request error. If neither is specified in the request payload, the server routes through the bot's configured admin credentials.
