Way less results than expected

Closed

In the actor description is stated that you can expect 10-20k results with starter plan (49$). I got 3333 for $39.682. That is not even close to expectations. It is also inconsistent: I got 1500 results for the first 5$ then the performance dropped. Any hint on how to handle this?

Hey, sorry for the late answer, I started looking into it last week and than it slipped through the cracks. I actually got the numbers on how many results it got each hour and it is relatively consistent (See the screenshot). The issue we see is quite niche search term (there are not many on the map) and relatively large area. Having Deeper city scrape switched off for this term might also be a good idea. The price of scraping google maps is really hard to predict, as often the usage is for the Actor to divide the map into reasonably sized map fragments, which is not then always in correlation with the results. If you wanted more predictable pricing you can try our Price per Result Google maps extractor: https://console.apify.com/actors/2Mdma1N6Fd0y3QEjR/input. Let me know if I can help you any further.
