 | `premium` | Use residential proxies to fetch the web content, in order to reduce the probability of being blocked. Can be either `true` or `false`, default is `false`. This is equivalent to setting ScrapingBee's `premium_proxy`.                                                                                                      |

 | `country_code` | Use IP addresses that are geolocated in the specified country by specifying its [2-letter ISO code](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ISO_3166-1_alpha-2#Officially_assigned_code_elements). When using code other than `US`, `premium_proxy` must be set to `true`. This is equivalent to setting ScrapingAnt's `proxy_country`. |
-| `keep_headers` | If `true`, then all headers sent to this Actor will be forwarded to the target website. The `Authorization` header will be removed.                                                                                                                                                                                           |
+| `keep_headers` | If `true`, then all headers sent to this Actor will be forwarded to the target website. The `Authorization` and `Proxy-Authorization` headers are never forwarded, so your Apify API token is not exposed to the target website.                                                                                                                                                                                           |
 | `device_type` | Can be either `desktop` (default) or `mobile`. This is equivalent to setting ScrapingBees's `device`.                                                                                                                                                                                                                         |
 | `binary_target` | Specify whether the target is a file. Can be `true` or `false`, default is `false`. Currently only supported when JS rendering is set to `false` via the `render_js`, `browser`, or `render` parameters.                                                                                                                      |
