Recurring issues with Apify node in n8n

We're having recurring issues with the Apify node in n8n. It seems to break every few days. We use the standard Apify website content crawler. The crawl seems to happen on the Apify side, but then doesn't get to n8n properly. We update to latest node/n8n each time, but doesn't fix the issue. We need this to be stable, and the ability for the crawler to not be changed once it's working if possible. Having all our flows stop every few days because Apify can't talk to n8n for some odd reason is frustrating for us and to explain to users....

PPE Suggestion

I’d like to implement (or emulate) Rental as PPE as shown here by @Lukas Krivka : https://console.apify.com/actors/yP9mrkZZPEE8fAnzP, but tracking user usage seems tricky. My suggestion: allow events to have a special flag or reserved name so the platform can manage them automatically. ONCE – Triggered only the first time an actor is used. The platform ignores or errors if triggered again. Developer only sets the price....

Instagram / Meta 'Views' metric

Hello! We are looking into using Apify for some of our data scraping at our organization. We collect a lot of data from social media platforms. I have been looking at Instagram actors and their ability to scrape 'views' counts for static posts (still images, still carousels). The ones I have looked at are able to return comment count, like count, share count - but they only return 'plays' or 'video views' on video and Reels posts. I know that Meta recently changed their API so that impressions, reels plays, and video views are all now collapsed under one 'views' metric....

Question about IS_PAYING again

Sorry for the old question. Despite all the explanations about payment models, I still can’t figure out how to accurately determine if the current user is subscribed to the current actor rental — IS_PAYING is close, but not entirely accurate.

Apify MCP expectation

Hello, I was wondering when Apify plans to release their MCP section on the website. Additionally, if another server is created by Apify to connect any actor (with the correct parameters) to your agent. Please let me know, because I want to know if/when I should develop my own server!...

Unable to edit Pay-per-Event Pricing

Hi there. I am currently setting up PPE pricing for a new Actor, but it seems that there is a bug in the Apify pricing editor. I have successfully created the pricing for multiple events, but when I try to make an edit, it doesn't save my changes. After entering changes and clicking "Continue", nothing happens. I have verified that the Apify web client is not even trying to make a network request to post those changes. Is there somewhere I can report this as a bug?

I’m experiencing an issue where all my builds succeed, but fail at the push step with the following

ACTOR: Error: Docker image build failed: NotFound: content digest sha256:59e2266...: not found

ACTOR: Error: Docker image build failed: NotFound: content digest sha256:59e2266...: not found

This happens even with minimal “Hello World” actors in different languages (Python, Rust, etc.), and using different base images such as python:3.11, python:3.10, or even full-size variants. The image is clearly being built successfully (log shows Successfully built ...), and this error appears only when Apify tries to push the image to your internal Docker registry....

Docker builds failing

I see I now have two actors with builds failing in the same way every time. One has literally no changes since the last successful build 12h ago. The other had a few minor changes, all since reverted. Both pass all Dockerfile steps, but fail at: ACTOR: Pushing Docker image to repository. ACTOR: Error: Docker image build failed: NotFound: content digest sha256:......... Is there a known issue?...

Solution:

Switching to a different image in my Dockerfile seems to allow the build to work again

Pay-per-event pricing displaying 1000x higher than actual cost

Hi there, All actors using pay-per-event pricing are showing prices that are 1000x higher than the actual cost in the Apify Store UI (in the Console not on Apify.com). This makes every pay-per-event actor appear drastically overpriced to users. This has been ongoing for 3+ days at least. This is blocking new user acquisition platform-wide and needs immediate emergency fix. Every hour this persists costs developers and Apify significant revenue....

PPE charging API

Hi. I've developed an integration Actor, im trying now to get PPE charging working. Even though ive configured monetization with a single "pay per event" active, when my actor is triggered, i notice the 1) the run input's pricingInfo.pricingModel is "PRICE_PER_DATASET_ITEM". I was expecting "PAY_PER_EVENT". And 2) im getting "operation is not allowed" error from the charging call. Suggestions?

Solution:

I updated my actor to take the RunID from the ACTOR_RUN_ID environment variable (which is correct). Now the 'charge' API call is returning success 👍 . Next, where else can I get the pricing info, so I can get the configured "max charge per run" 🤔
