Troubleshooting

"API key is required"

Add your API key in the input

"API error 403" or "Unauthorized"

Your API key is invalid, expired, or doesn't have access to this specific API endpoint. Double-check your key and account permissions.

"API error 429" or "Rate limit"

Too many requests. Wait a minute and try again, or reduce the number of items per run.

No results or empty dataset

Check the run log for error messages. Common causes:

Invalid input format (check the examples above)
API key without proper permissions
The target data doesn't exist or is too small to track

How do I test without an API key?

Run the actor without any credentials, or set demoMode to true, and it returns labeled sample output that shows the exact format of live results. Every sample item carries demo: true and a _notice field so it cannot be mistaken for live data, and sample runs charge no task events. Provide your real API credentials in the input to receive live data.
