Inconsistent formatted JSON output from the actor.

Hi There,

I'm crawling facebook pages to retrieve two items, the Page ID and the Name of the page. I'm receiving them in differnet JSON format so when i running the datasets I'm no able to pick the data at the expected location, this is around 40% of the time. I ran 10 items and 4 of them are having different output.

Expected: - see image https://console.apify.com/organization/oRy2SQnox89GFG84r/actors/4BKShLxjpZ7lAYvOA/runs/tbYCxpxfufLbqtjJL#output

Not expected - see image https://console.apify.com/organization/oRy2SQnox89GFG84r/actors/4BKShLxjpZ7lAYvOA/runs/xNtgXyAURcopb81d1#output

For me I don't mind which version will be picked, but I need the ouput to be formatted consistent. In case you need testing materials, here are URL's i've used.

Hi! Sorry for confusion, this actor is for getting internal preloader data from Facebook react app, so data forwarded "as is" and mentioned difference probably cause by crawler fingerprinting (getting URLs from random devices). Managed details about public pages provided by different actor: https://apify.com/apify/facebook-pages-scraper

I´m going to close the issue now, but if there would be anything else we could help with, please let us know.

Hi,

Thank for the update, I understand the difference now, I’ll check and see how I can make this work from my end when I receive the data.

Met vriendelijke groet,
