The Output tab is finally here! 🚀

New

Actor

It's not only about the nicer looks though ✨ The idea behind the Output tab is to make it convenient for our users to see right away whether the run results are relevant to their scraping request. That way, you can stop the run early on and correct the input with more specific settings.

The new tab also means no more endless scrolling through tables! It will show you only a few most important columns, so you don’t have to scroll through the whole table to find the results.

🧪 The Output tab is still in the experimental stage so not all actors might feature it yet. We will be gradually improving and adding the Output schema to the most popular actors in Store.

🔄 Other features in the works: the validation of output data using a format similar to JSON schema. Stay tuned, because once that’s done you will be able to connect multiple actors into more complex/reusable workflows.

☎️ Last but not least: configuration of the output tab is not yet documented, hence not available for all actor creators. However, we are open to having a call with actor creators willing to explore the beta-version of the newly launched solution and give us valuable feedback. Let us know if you're one of them!
