Empty Response from run-sync API Despite Data Being Fetched on Apify Dashboard
Closed
I am using the run-sync API endpoint to execute the compass~google-places-api actor. While the actor successfully fetches data (as confirmed on the Apify Dashboard), the API response itself is empty.
The API request successfully returns a 201 Created status, but the data field in the response is completely empty. Below are the details of my request and response:
API Request code:
const response = await axios({
method: "post",
url: https://api.apify.com/v2/acts/compass~google-places-api/run-sync,
headers: {
Authorization: Bearer ${apifyApiToken},
"Content-Type": "application/json",
},
data: {
placeIds: [placeId],
waitSecs: 300,
waitForFinish: 300,
},
});
console.log("Response:", response);
Response: { "status": 201, "statusText": "Created", "headers": { "content-type": "text/plain; charset=utf-8", "content-length": "0" }, "data": "" }

Hey,
thanks for reaching out. The run-sync endpoint returns the data that are stored in run's KVS under OUTPUT key, which this actor doesn't do. Instead, it stores the results in dataset, so try to use run-sync-get-dataset-items endpoint and you should get the results.
