Select contact details
Hello,
Given the (very) large amount of column the contact details output for this run (1,070 columns in total), I'd like only the first 2 Contact Details of each sub-category (e.g. emails/0 + emails/1 ; Facebooks/0 + Facebooks/1, ...).
How exactly can I make this happen please? I've tried in the JSON input, using the Fileds to Load as e.g. 'contactDetails/facebooks/0',, but it wouldn't output any of these.
Happy to hear from you on that, thanks.

Hello,
I can do a small script for you to do this in this actor. Another option would be to join all emails to one column separated by ;
, e.g. instead of emails/0
= john@apify.com
and emails/1
= peter@apify.com
, it would be emails
= john@apify.com; peter@apify.com
. And it could join any number (you can decide a limit). Would you prefer that or your original idea?

Hello Lukáš,
Thank you for the suggestions. It would be great if you could indeed have contactDetails 0 AND 1 in one column for each contactDetails type (e.g. Facebook 0 + Facebook 1 into one column, separated by a comma).
How should I proceed?
Also, I would need this not for this run in partuclar, but anytime (as I plan many different datasets merges).
Thanks for your help !

Hello,
I created a task "Merge Google Maps - Trim to 2 contacts" for you. There is just a simple transform function that cleans the contacts. See the run below. https://console.apify.com/actors/tasks/WyOhdrUQvylK2G1f6/runs/wONYnadbFx2JeWNY3#output
I also added placeId
to deduplication fields so you get rid of duplicate places, it goes down to 31053 places now.
