Ability to use API keys generated from our website

General💸Pricing🛠️API

Hello, I have been getting emails mentioning that our actors will be deprecated due to our actors not passing the automated testing. The issue is that our actors all require an API key generated for free (or paid) on our website in order to call the endpoints/actors.

And some actors/endpoints are not available on our free plan but are available on our paid ones. How can I mitigate this? Rapidapi for example allows me to create tiers/plans that match our website so users can purchase from there + use on their platforms.

But on apify I only see "pay per usage", "pay per event" and "pay per event + usage"

What are my options? Can I supply a demo api key for the automated bot to use so it doesnt fail validation? and as for tiers/pay walled endpoints what are my options on that front?

Here's a link to our pricing: https://vybe.fyi/api-pricing

Thanks

Solution

You have 3 options:
1 - Reach out to Apify support to disable this automated test for you
2 - Identify the maintenance user ID and have a check on that user, if it's running your actor then just return a non empty dataset item and exit
3 - Use a bad default value, if your run was triggered using these default than return a non empty dataset item and exit
