Hello, and thank you for your interest in this Actor!

Based on the current configuration, the scraper was set up to run extensively. Here are some key settings that contributed to the long execution:

  • "maxCrawlPages": 9999999 — Allows nearly unlimited total pages.
  • "maxCrawlDepth": 2 — Enables crawling multiple levels deep.
  • "maxResults": 9999999 — Permits an extremely large result set.

Your input contains several unsupported input options: "sameDomainDelay","maxEmailsPerDomain","emailPattern", or "excludePatterns". None of these are options recognized by the Website Content Crawler, and submitting these won't affect the run in any way. If you want to limit the total number of pages crawled, use one of the options mentioned above. By default, the crawler will stay on the domains of the start URLs, so maxCrawlPages actually does limit "max pages per domain".

Regarding the unexpected charges, we understand your frustration. I contacted our support team internally to refund the costs of this run for you.

I'll close this issue now, but feel free to ask additional questions if you have any. Cheers!
