Overview

This node interacts with the Apify platform to retrieve details of a specific Actor Run. It is useful for users who want to fetch the status, output, or metadata of a particular run of an Apify actor, which is a task or job executed on the Apify platform. For example, a user can get the results of a web scraping job or automation task by specifying the run ID.

Use Case Examples

1. Fetching the output of a web scraping actor run by providing the run ID.
2. Checking the status and logs of a specific actor run to monitor its progress or troubleshoot issues.

Properties

Output

JSON

• runId - The unique identifier of the retrieved actor run.
• status - The current status of the actor run (e.g., running, succeeded, failed).
• startedAt - Timestamp when the actor run started.
• finishedAt - Timestamp when the actor run finished, if applicable.
• output - The output data produced by the actor run, if available.
• metadata - Additional metadata related to the actor run, such as input parameters and execution details.

Dependencies

• Apify API key or OAuth2 credentials for authentication

Troubleshooting

• Ensure the provided Run ID is valid and exists on the Apify platform; invalid IDs will cause errors.
• Check that the authentication credentials (API key or OAuth2 token) are correctly configured and have sufficient permissions.
• If using the URL mode for Run ID, ensure the URL matches the expected pattern; otherwise, extraction will fail.
• Network issues or Apify API downtime can cause request failures; retry or check service status.
