Incorrect input by the Actor
Closed
Actor is randomly taking input for a geolocation parameter (state)
Ondrej Klinovský (ondrejklinovsky)
Hi,
you need to remove the state parameter from the input if you don't want to use it. state parameter represents a region within a country, e.g. state in US...that's why it's used for geolocation

I was not using the state parameter. It is automatically taking state parameter set to Ohio. I dont even have Ohio in the data that I am picking it up from.

ip = { "city": row.City, "countryCode": row.Country_Code.lower(), "deeperCityScrape": False, "includeWebResults": False, "language": "en", "maxCrawledPlacesPerSearch": 2, "maxImages": 0, "maxQuestions": 0, "maxReviews": 0, "onlyDataFromSearchPage": False, "postalCode": po_num, "scrapeDirectories": False, "scrapeImageAuthors": False, "scrapeResponseFromOwnerText": False, "scrapeReviewId": False, "scrapeReviewUrl": False, "scrapeReviewerId": False, "scrapeReviewerName": False, "scrapeReviewerUrl": False, "searchMatching": "all", "searchStringsArray": [ row.Name ], "skipClosedPlaces": False }
This is how my input is being formed. I have clearly omitted the state parameter even in the latest run that I have made it is adding Ohio with its own volition.

I see now what's the issue: you are using task getGMapsData through API. That task has the state set to Ohio. If you don't specify state in your API request, then the value from task is used - that's why actor uses Ohio. So just remove state from the task.

Thanks Ondrej.
