Pricing

$10.00 / 1,000 delivered creatives

Only valid creative rows written to the dataset count as delivered creatives. Empty searches, blocked pages, timeout cases, and no-data sources are not written as paid dataset rows. The actor writes NO_RESULTS, LATEST_SUMMARY, and LATEST_NOTICES records to the default key-value store so users can still see what happened and what to try next.

Reliability

• Direct URL and advertiser ID normalization.
• Configurable browser timeouts.
• Optional detail-page enrichment.
• Duplicate creative IDs removed before output.
• No paid error rows.
• Clear no-result diagnostics in the default key-value store.
• Change snapshots stored outside the paid dataset.
