Hello, I see that when I change price

Hello, I see that when I change price for my actor, there is no option to select effective day. But at final step, Apify told me to choose an effective day from 14 days later. My actor is using pay-per-event. I think it's a bug. Thank you so much....

Lets Say i have and actor that scrapes

Lets Say i have and actor that scrapes facebook profile, there Is some difference in monetization between pay per result or pay per event if i only charge users for each profile 0.04€ ?

Publishers, please use a status message

Publishers, please use a status message for important message to users, not logs. You can add message to Actor.exit or Actor.fail to be printed to top status. E.g. the leads scraper doesn't do it and looks like it just doesn't work at all.

Hi, I reported an Actor that blatantly

Hi, I reported an Actor that blatantly plagiarized my listing, misrepresents the price, etc. - yet, absolutely no response from chat support over weeks. Is Apify the most anti-developer ecosystem? I would understand if the earnings justified it, but it's 1/10th of other platforms there as well. Suffice to say, very dissapointed in this marketplace.

Does anyone have tips on easily getting the selectors to create the scraper?

There is an important typo in the

There is an important typo in the documentation of the API to charge events. The property named eventCount should be count. https://docs.apify.com/api/v2/post-charge-run I suffered this myself in my first PPE actor. Am I the only one using the API instead of the SDK? ...

Why is the default "apify-actor-start" not shown as a one-time event?

Is there something wrong today in apify

Is there something wrong today in apify first time in history i got zero vistors / users today !

Currently in the input tab on an actors

Currently in the input tab on an actors page, you can set the manual values and when you then click on json the json is sorted alphabetically, which doesnt make a lot of sense. When you click on the top right on API clients it shows the json input in its ordered, intended form. It should have this same form in the input tab.

Am I the only one who feels that Apify proxies are low quality? They often get blocked or fail to connect !?

Thanks. Do you know if a key could be stored on apify for whatever a user previously scraped? Also, I thought that apify automatically doesn't charge for duplicate records. Couldn't someone duplicate data in order to charge for more records?
