Actor Pay-per-event charging example
This example demonstrates how to use the Actor Pay-per-event charging feature. It uses ChargingManager class and pushDataPPEAware function to ensure consistent charging for the actor.
This is a preview feature. Apify team is working on implementing similar functionality directly into the JS & Python SDKs.
Source code
Available here: https://github.com/metalwarrior665/actor-charge-manager-poc
Features
- Only charge for events defined for that Actor run
- Only charge up to user-defined
Max Total Charge Usd - Correctly sync charging state after restarts
- Only push dataset items that we previously charged for
- Is backward compatible with Pay-per-result billing (for pricing transition)
- Pushes metadata about each event to an unnamed metadata dataset
Non-features
This example doesn't show how to implement a solution for the whole Crawlee crawler. In that case, you should pass chargingManager around in context and use await crawler.teardown() once the charging manager returns eventChargeLimitReached true (or if you cannot squeeze more events into chargingManager.eventChargeCountTillLimit(eventId))
Example run
