Get New Reviews From Airbnb

Scraping Instagram to Find all Profiles in a Niche Using Keywords

Is there a any way to search Instagram and find all the profiles that contain a keyword, such as "dentist". I see there are Instagram scrapers that start with a list of Instagram URLs/profiles, but I don't know the profiles I'm looking for, so I'm kinda stuck on square one.

Twitter Scaper Date Range

Hi everyone, I am new and I am using the free version of Apify for Twitter Scaper. I am trying to use rage date absolute to extrapolate some tweets, but it does not find any results. Removing the date range, on the other hand, returns me results from today until the previous days, stopping however at about 3500 results. What am I doing wrong? Are there any limits that I am not aware of? Thank you very much for your help in advance. ...

How to call apify actors from a separate server?

Context: - I'm currently using playwright on my nextjs api routes - these playwright scripts scrape a website & persist the data in my database (postgres) - since I need IP roration with session management though, I'd love to offload the scraping to crawlee - I'm considering apify as the deployment platform as this seems to be the recommended setup and apify apparently also supports webhooks -- e.g. can I get notified about the status of my actor run, such as job.started or job.finished events?...

Keboola Input Mapping and TikTok scraping

Hi, I want to scrape data from TikTok (@clockworks/free-tiktok-scraper) and use Keboola for that. That's why I'm using the Keboola Input Mapping actor @Deleted User/keboola-input-mapping. I have set up the Keboola Input Mapping actor as instructed in the information. Unfortunately the run ends with an ERROR error Actor run might be metamorphed only once. I have no idea where the error means. Could someone please advise? Run log: https://console.apify.com/view/runs/UzPqDQwCSDdrnpggp
