The first problem could be because not all users consent to share their runs with the developers, and insights might be not updated in real-time For the second problem, yes you can know whether the running user is a paid Apify user. But even for free users I believe it might be worth it to give them a small credit so they try your actor and see its result.

@msaidwolf just advanced to level 4! Thanks for your contributions! 🎉

can you show me how to disable free users

azzouzana•2mo ago

you can check this env variable if (process.env.APIFY_USER_IS_PAYING === '1') But I also suggest is that you set some sort of rate limiting in your actor so free users would be allowed to run X amounts of external API call

@azzouzana can you share with me doc link please 🙂

Which doc? Maybe this would help https://discord.com/channels/801163717915574323/1090592836044476426/1396480533416116255

Print all environment variables using a print statement in your preferred language. For example, these two might be useful for your case:

APIFY_USER_IS_PAYING =

APIFY_USER_PRICING_TIER = FREE

APIFY_USER_IS_PAYING =

APIFY_USER_PRICING_TIER = FREE

I assume APIFY_USER_IS_PAYING is a boolean value — if it’s empty, it means false, and if it contains 1 or any non-empty value, it means true. The APIFY_USER_PRICING_TIER indicates the user’s specific pricing plan (in this case, “FREE”).

Something like this, but in your preferred language:

use std::env;

fn main() {
    println!("🔍 Listing all environment variables:\n");

    for (key, value) in env::vars() {
        println!("{key} = {value}");
    }

    println!("\n✅ Done listing environment variables.");
}

use std::env;

fn main() {
    println!("🔍 Listing all environment variables:\n");

    for (key, value) in env::vars() {
        println!("{key} = {value}");
    }

    println!("\n✅ Done listing environment variables.");
}

Python =

import os

print("🔍 Listing all environment variables:\n")

for key, value in os.environ.items():
    print(f"{key} = {value}")

print("\n✅ Done listing environment variables.")

import os

print("🔍 Listing all environment variables:\n")

for key, value in os.environ.items():
    print(f"{key} = {value}")

print("\n✅ Done listing environment variables.")

JS =

console.log("🔍 Listing all environment variables:\n");

for (const [key, value] of Object.entries(process.env)) {
    console.log(`${key} = ${value}`);
}

console.log("\n✅ Done listing environment variables.");

console.log("🔍 Listing all environment variables:\n");

for (const [key, value] of Object.entries(process.env)) {
    console.log(`${key} = ${value}`);
}

console.log("\n✅ Done listing environment variables.");

Just do it in a separate actor as an exploration phase don’t include it in the final production actor. ⚠️
