Can not limit the size of the actor responses when using the python script example.

Hi!
It is outside of the actor logic - how your integration works with the actor can not be affected by the actor itself. Please check the manual for the Python SDK or ask in Discord.
I will close the issue now, but if there is anything else we can help with, please let us know.

Dear Alexey,
Thank you for your prompt response regarding the issue I'm experiencing
with the apify/instagram-scraper
actor.
I understand that the limitation of actor responses typically falls outside
the actor's core logic. However, I'm encountering a specific problem when I
attempt to add a resultsLimit
parameter to the run_input
dictionary
within the Python script example. Despite setting a numerical limit, this
limit does not appear to be respected in the actual responses I receive.
Could you please provide further clarification on whether the
resultsLimit
parameter, when included in the run_input
for this
particular actor, is intended to function as a data output limiter, or if
there's a specific way it should be implemented to ensure the numerical
limit is honored? Any guidance on this would be greatly appreciated.

Hi!
You can check the input in your run(s): https://console.apify.com/view/runs/8enbi0w9OVceVbAbF
{"directUrls": ["https://www.instagram.com/sheilahgashumba/"],"resultsType": "posts","resultsLimit": 2,"searchType": "hashtag","searchLimit": 1,"addParentData": false}
Everything works as expected - if "resultsLimit": 2
is not a logically correct value, then you are setting it in the wrong way.
