Google Maps crawler - Increasing place limit after initial run
Hi everyone,
I recently ran a Google Maps scraper (https://apify.com/compass/crawler-google-places) to collect place data, and I've discovered that there are many more places available than what was initially collected in my first run.
Current Situation:
- Successfully completed an initial scrape
- Have collected data for X places
- Discovered there are significantly more places available
- Already have a dataset from the first run
Questions:
Is it possible to increase the place limit on my existing run configuration?
If I need to create a new run, what's the best way to:
- Import/merge my existing scraped data
- Avoid duplicating places already collected
- Continue from where the previous run stopped
Any guidance on the most efficient approach would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks in advance!
