Not sure why crawler used up 4 USD for 5 search results
Closed
Hello! I am completely new to this platform and crawler. I am trying to get some basic info for a list of companies.
I have put 5 companies as search terms in the crawler to try it out and let it run. What I needed was to get Company name, address and if available - contact email and phone -- that would be enough.
I expected to get this data very fast and some empty results if there are no results. I tried to set the crawler to do that.
A few hours later I open up Apify and I see that the crawler went working and never stopped. Thousands of handled requests and has burned through quite the resources.
Where did I go wrong?
I needed only the 1st result for every search term (if any result, if not - empty result).
Here I share the Actor URL. https://console.apify.com/view/runs/TfVh46auWXLWJ1MEq hope you can help me figure out what I did wrong. Thanks!
Hey, if you only need one result per the query, the location "USA" is way too wide. The Actor screens the whole US first before returning any results. Can you pick up a smaller location? Or if you need only one results, you can skip the location altogether and use it as a search word: xxx in USA, see this run: https://console.apify.com/view/runs/cWOHuAP5CqT9EDL2v

Thanks a lot. I need only the first result. I will try: xxx in USA instead!
