Limit the fetch to specific data selected for a arun

Is there any way to limit the data the actor gets with some input configuration? I often see the following message in logs:

2024-04-30T20:38:00.562Z INFO Fetching 6 request(s) for additional data

I'm suspecting these are queries for expandable widgets in the page with GEO and category information. For our purposes we don't require those all the time, just interestOverTime_timelineData for most of our runs, and I think these additional requests may be causing blocking more often.

It would be useful to be able to optionally opt out of unnecessary data to reduce the number of requests for any given run. Haven't seen any option documented for input to do that so far.

Hi! Implemented as timelineOnly json input parameter, see sample run https://console.apify.com/view/runs/FOd3cq51CQd1jmJxV

Just provide timelineOnly: true json input value, then calls for additional data will be skipped.

I´m going to close the issue now, but if there would be anything else we could help with, please let us know.
