As a user, I’d like the ability to create private “issues.” I’ve had some trouble with my actor, and want to discuss with the developer, but I don’t want that discussion to be public. This seems like such an obvious feature that I assume the lack is intentional.

i would love to see a feature where we can make something like a "playlist" or a list of actors that we can share, maybe even like a workflow where anyone can build one and share a link, for example make a flow that uses an email extractor > email validator

Monthly Actor Developer Summary is missing actors and thus giving incorrect total stats, so my feature request would be to fix it 😉

I’m not sure if my question fits this chat, but could someone explain why the arrangement of actors seems inconsistent, as shown in the attached image? Why is an actor with fewer users ranked above one with more users?

Hey everyone 👋

Hey everyone 👋 I’ve been thinking about how we, as Apify users, pay for actors and APIs, and I wanted to throw an idea out there. Right now, it feels like some projects fit best with subscription-style pricing (predictable monthly plans), while others really need pay-per-usage (since workloads can spike or stay small). What if Apify offered a hybrid model?...

Hello everyone,

Hello everyone, I recently started publishing actors on Apify, and I believe my actors are very useful and relevant to many users. (Even though I only have a few users so far, the total profit after the first month has already exceeded $500.) The issue is that my actors don’t rank very high since they were only just published. I think it would be great if there were a ranking section for “rising actors,” so that my actors — and others in a similar situation — could get more visibility....

Rightmove Scraper · Apify

With all due respect to industry standards but in pay per event model, we are charging per event. My event itself says that I will bill 2 USD per 1K records. While setting cost in Apify, I mentioned 2 USD only for thet event! How come Apify displaying this as 2000 USD per 1K records! This is freaking out customers! I have raised concern in Apify support since more than a week. I started saying to contact Apify support now to end customers as there is clearing nothing I can do about it as developer....

Thinking about pricing, combining the (now legacy) rental model with PPR/PPE in the shape of a minimal monthly spend would be a key revenue unlock. I’d like to get the community’s thoughts on this. This model works really well for me on Apify’s competitors, and I don’t think I’ll ever hit similar revenue numbers on Apify without a minimum spend per user. Example from a competitor:...

Hi Apify team,

Hi Apify team, I’d like to suggest adding support for SOCKS5 and SOCKS5h proxies. Currently, only HTTP proxies are supported, which means DNS resolution is done locally from Apify’s servers. This causes a DNS leak: the IP address that resolves the domain and the IP that makes the request are different, which websites can detect and use to trigger blocks or restrictions. With SOCKS5h, both traffic and DNS queries would go through the proxy, ensuring consistency, anonymity, and improving scraping effectiveness. This would be a very valuable feature for more advanced or detection-sensitive projects....

Hello Apify Team,

Hello Apify Team, I am using the Instagram Scraper Actor (maintained by Apify) to scrape public Instagram reel URLs. However, I consistently encounter the following error in the dataset: "error": "restricted_page", "errorDescription": "Restricted access, only partial data available"...

Are there any plans to improve the interactivity of actor input schemas—such as supporting conditional logic to hide or disable certain input fields based on user selections? It would also be great to see improvements in the overall UI/UX of the input form for a smoother and more dynamic user experience.

@HonzaS I understand there's no guarantee from the users' perspective, but things like good reviews, quick response time, solid documentation, etc., are all positive signals. No one is being forced to set up their actors that way, but having the option to do so is valuable. That said, I was just using that as a basic example to explain my point: from actors' developers perspective I believe we should offer free users enough convincing value while still encouraging them to subscribe. From an actor developer’s perspective, it can be frustrating when you're using paid third-party APIs, and a free user comes in, scrapes 5K requests, and never returns(or when he does, he just creates a new Apify account again)...

Is there a way to extract all list of runs like this one for example. I wanted to extract like 1 year of runs data to do some cost analysis for my companies like average per runs. There is data on CPU Usage, time, etc, but not on each runs. Let me know if there is already a feature like this, tried to search but found nothing....
