scrollsAmount not working
We have recently started using this actor to scrape a few facebook ads. Our use case required just 30-50 ads per each run so, following input documentation of readme, we set the input parameter "scrollsAmount" to just 2 to avoid going over our required amount of ads. It seems that this has not worked as our runs seem to have run infinitively scraping 3-5k ads on each run, costing us 200USD for just 11 runs.
I would like to ask what should we change to limit these results and get just a few ads each time.
I also kindly ask for a refund of these runs, we were expecting them to cost less than a dollar.
Hi!
Sorry for the confusion, the manual is just outdated and the expected usage is resultsLimit: 30
See sample run https://console.apify.com/view/runs/aln53euGUVy8IB4YH
Please avoid scrollsAmount it was there for backward compatibility and documentation was not updated when the actual logic was changed.
The request for $200 credit compensation was forwarded to the sales team, they will contact you soon.
I will close the issue now, but if there is anything else we could help with, please let us know.
