Actor link-preview images return 400 for new Actors (empty categories param)
🖥️Platform
Hi Apify team,
Link previews (Discord, X, Slack) show no image for my recently published Actors. The og:image URL on the Actor page returns HTTP 400:
"Categories must be comma separated list of valid categories"
The URL is built with an empty categories param (…&categories=&…), because the legacy categories field is empty for new Actors now that categories are auto-assigned. Removing the empty param makes the image load fine. Older Actors with legacy categories are not affected.
Affected, for example:
https://apify.com/calm_builder/website-contact-scraper
https://apify.com/calm_builder/instagram-profile-scraper
Could you take a look? Thanks!
