Apify - IG Data Extractor

How can I export the data acquired from the Instagram Profile Scraper (Apify) on autopilot back into google sheets everytime an actor runs whilst only importing specific data (such as Full Name, Biography). I just started my journy in coding and its incredible! thank you so much in advance

Best way to deal with multiple datasets ?

What is the best way to compile all the datasets into a single dataset from multiple agents running and their individual tasks, each tasks has its own set of runs producing multiple datasets. Found this to be very confusing, zapier etc don't really process data like its needed - needs additional transformation. Thought the platform would have an option as there is an option under storage to create your own dataset but found interesting that there is not way to internally link any existing datasets to it ... possible to explain and advice? Thanks...

Bank transfers fees has to be revisited

Hello 👋 Apify already takes 20% of the revenue earned, so it doesn’t make much sense for a developer to bear 100% of the bank transfer fees. These fees should be split between Apify and the developer (SHA/BEN/OUR) if not entirely by Apify, given they already take a 20% cut. FYI: This is how several other platforms operate to incentive developers....

Wiil webhooks retry?

Just a quick question- I'm using Apify webhooks to run a process when an actor is finished running. If for some reason my server fails to respond to Apify, will they automatically retry again? If so, how often?

Please assist on this issue. I am trying to monetise/ publish my first actor but keep getting this error. my apify id is jackhax1

Changed the actor's URL, but the URL on the profile page remains unchanged.

I just launched my first actor. However, I thought its URL was not appropriate, so I changed it. After that, I went to my profile page, clicked on the actor, and it still pointed to the old URL. As a result, it couldn't find my actor and redirected me to Apify's homepage. So how can I fix this? The actor URL cannot be changed after it is made public? This is my profile: https://apify.com/ecomscrape, my actor still remains the old url: https://apify.com/ecomscrape/lazada-product-crawler And my new actor url: https://apify.com/ecomscrape/lazada-product-scraper...

Actor Store Search Data

As an actor developer, it would be super helpful to see what terms folks are searching for in the store. It would then let me better understand what to focus on, instead of guessing. Is this something that exists already or should I post it in #💫feature-request ?...

Something is off when running from Apify

Hey, So, I developed the NewEgg scraper actor, and I’m having some trouble, particularly because I think NewEgg upped their anti-bot protection during holiday season. However, something weird is happening, when I run the code locally using your residential proxies, it sometimes fails, but generally it doesn’t, specially after I implemented UA Rotation....

Wont let me enter my address to upgrade

Hi, the platform wont let me enter my street address so i can upgrade. It keeps saying "An exact street name match could not be found" I have tried multiple variations of the address. I live semi-rural.

Dataset schema view

Hey, in the dataset schema view, we can either show all data or apply a transformation like "flatten". Is it possible to do both: extract certain fields that may be more important to their own columns, but still have an object field for the full data (some field are less important and potentially empty)? When I do it at the moment the data is shown as undefined. I'm adding my code and the resulting views as screenshot, hope this helps understanding what I'm describing. Relevant docs I've used for reference: https://docs.apify.com/platform/actors/development/actor-definition/dataset-schema...

Questions regarding trial periods
