Can we move on to the next URL in case a singular ad link is "active"
Closed
Can we move on to the next URL to crawl in case a singular ad link is "active" because let's say a certain search has 10 ads live but I only need to know if it's active or not but still dont have an option to "limit" it to lets say scraping 2-3 ads per meta ad url, it just scrapes everything and this increases the run time for lets say 1000 meta search urls where a singular url might have 10 or even 200 ads

In order to quickly identify the reason of your issue, I need to inspect your run.
Please share the URL of the run where you faced this issue. You can find your runs on this page: https://console.apify.com/actors/runs

Hi, just added ability to limit the number of ads scraped per input url.

Thanks, this is perfect

Did some stress testing, can you please confirm if the actor moves on to the next URL after it detects 1 single ad? because I see it running above 1000 runs even if I have only added 1000 URLs with a scrape limit of 1 per URL + Active status + last 7/30 days timeframe
I see there's a warning message on the filtering "might exceed the limit by 30 in some cases" so even if I put 1 as a limit, it can exceed that and go to 30 per input url? is my understanding correct
Here's one of the runs https://console.apify.com/actors/XtaWFhbtfxyzqrFmd/runs/Kb15uoJInjBzcW0su#log

Yes you are right because we get 30 ads per scrape so we apply the limit in multiples of 30
