LiveAuctioneers Scraper - use question

Hi! I'm new to Apify, and am trying to export a dataset into a spreadsheet using the LiveAuctioneers scraper (for non-commercial purposes). I enter the search result URL but it only compiles the resulting URLs without pulling any other information—title of artwork, price of sale, image, auction house, etc. Any recommendations on how to effectively use the Scraper? Sorry in advance if I'm missing the obvious answer to that.

I just got an email saying: Your Maximum platform usage per month custom limit is expiring in 6 days. Please upgrade your plan or contact support. but when I go into "Limits" in my billing console it looks like I'm not even close to my limits. Is there something I should do?

Standby mode parameters

I'm currently working with apify/rag-web-browser in standby mode. The normal actor inputs are working fine (https://apify.com/apify/rag-web-browser/input-schema), but the standby parameters (https://apify.com/apify/rag-web-browser/standby) are not accepted. I can't create issues on the Actor page (says I must request write permission with no instructions on how to do that). Am I misunderstanding those parameters? Can they not be sent in a request? Is this issue specific to the Actor, or are the standby endpoints a platform thing?...

Store Ranking Algorithm

Hey folks, Can you please help me to understand how the Apify store ranking algorithm works and what I can do to optimise things? In particular, I was under the impression that I would gain a significant ranking boost by using tiered pricing, as per @ellativity's announcement on 13 August:...

Resurect an Actor run

I develop an actor that runs on Apify platform. The actor will basically take a list of URL in the INPUT and open each one of them. Simple. I run the Actor and it timed out. Fine. Then I resurrected it and strangely enough, it started loading the INPUT list of URL from the begining. Isn't it strange ?...

🚩 Fake review abuse on our new scraper shows platform needs better safeguards

Yesterday we released our new Semrush Scraper. Within hours, a competitor (as we know now, having investigated it ourselves) used multiple fake accounts to leave more than ten 1-star reviews. Some of the accounts ran the scraper once with deliberately invalid inputs, others didn’t run it at all (more reviews than actual users) and just posted “not working.” or similar reviews to manipulate the public image of our actor and in the end also on our reputation. As a result the rating for this actor dropped significantly on the first day of launch, even though the scraper works as expected. This shows clear weaknesses in the review system. At the moment, there are 3 key weakness that we would like to point out: - Users can leave a review without ever running an Actor - Brand-new accounts can post reviews immediately (primarily free accounts)...
