Dataset no same number of columns
Closed
I scrape different Facebook accounts with the same actor and requirements, but the output results are different. Some have 134 columns and other 2000 columns. How to download all files in the same number of columns so that I can unify them? (the merge actor does not work, because mismatch of data)
Hi!
Columns amount is different for cases of shared posts and attached media. Just exclude both from output to reduce amount of columns and keep it "normal". Please share run which caused issue with columns amount and I will send you sample URL to illustrate how to filter out extra values.

Hi Alexey, Here are my runs:
- https://console.apify.com/view/runs/Fc3UWgzIkXyrY9av3 This first run has 19 results and 238 columns
- https://console.apify.com/view/runs/W9WXGRq74LDXlgjCg This second run has 10227 results and 2110 columns
I have 538 runs and they all have different column numbers. I need them to be in just one consistent number of columns so that I can combine them into one Excel. Will you please help me?
Hi!
URL pattern (based on first run) is https://api.apify.com/v2/datasets/noCFS9fIkdUg2M8M1/items?clean=true&format=json&omit=media,pageAdLibrary,sharedPost - "format=json" to quick check results in browser, for CSV please use "format=csv"
For other runs replace dataset ID "noCFS9fIkdUg2M8M1" to what you see in Storage as dataset ID, i.e. for second run its https://api.apify.com/v2/datasets/SAcFVHw3uFIPu7tPX/items?clean=true&format=json&omit=media,pageAdLibrary,sharedPost
Last but not least: "media,pageAdLibrary,sharedPost" omitted however you might want keep shared post, so please try "media,pageAdLibrary" as well
p.s. All options suggested above available also in interface of "Export dataset" dialog, so please use UI or custom URL, whatever works better for you
I´m going to close the issue now, but if there would be anything else we could help with, please let us know.
