Get user payment status from actor

Hi, I have a PPR actor and want to access the user's payment status so I can prioritize their queries and set some limitations for non-paying users as well. My current actor implementation is in Node js. I understand that there is an endpoint /users/me but how do I get this info via my actor. Below is a skeletal implemention of the actor:

import { Actor } from 'apify';
import { PuppeteerCrawler } from 'crawlee';
import { router } from './routes.js';

await Actor.init();

const input = await Actor.getInput();
const startUrls = input?.startUrls || [{ url: 'https://apify.com' }];

const proxyConfiguration = await Actor.createProxyConfiguration();

const crawler = new PuppeteerCrawler({
    proxyConfiguration,
    requestHandler: router,
});

await crawler.run(startUrls);

await Actor.exit();

import { Actor } from 'apify';
import { PuppeteerCrawler } from 'crawlee';
import { router } from './routes.js';

await Actor.init();

const input = await Actor.getInput();
const startUrls = input?.startUrls || [{ url: 'https://apify.com' }];

const proxyConfiguration = await Actor.createProxyConfiguration();

const crawler = new PuppeteerCrawler({
    proxyConfiguration,
    requestHandler: router,
});

await crawler.run(startUrls);

await Actor.exit();

Thanks! 🙏

Hi, you can get user info like this:

const user = await Actor.apifyClient.user().get();

const user = await Actor.apifyClient.user().get();

See: https://docs.apify.com/api/client/js/reference/class/UserClient#get There is isPaying flag to check if user is paying or not. So you can have:

const user = await Actor.apifyClient.user().get();
if (user.isPaying) { console.log('This user is paying') }

const user = await Actor.apifyClient.user().get();
if (user.isPaying) { console.log('This user is paying') }

Thanks! Will test it out 👍 @Jan Novotny Smooth! That works, thanks. 🚀 One last question: if a user is subscribed to the creator plan (https://apify.com/pricing), will that also show as true OR they cannot even use the actor, to begin with?

The user subscribed to the creator plan will have the flag set to true. But they shouldn't be able to use the actor from the store as they have limited access to public actors.

Thank you, that helps!

@Jan Novotny can you point me where in the docs I can find the isPaying flag? I do not see it on the link you have posted.

Actor.apifyClient.user().get()?.isPaying

Thanks, but I meant some link to the docs where is this property listed with description what it means. But I guess there is not any.
