Missing fields/headers?

Hey, I recently used this actor to grab some details of a smaller run, then used it for this run. The smaller run ID is mdC6dN5ddDvoUIRuk and this run is htwkbnjH0hAbmyngS.

The original run had a field for Days on Zillow. This second larger one did not. I really need that information. Am I doing something wrong here when setting up the run? Not sure why it would be on one and not the other.

The original smaller run also had a field to know if it's listed by owner, and when downloading to a CSV, that field is missing. Is there any way around that? I found a workaround by sorting the brokers then deleting them, but it would be ideal if it came with the field already there when downloaded.

I'll literally use this every day for thousands of runs if I can get these quirks sorted.

Hi, this issue is unfortunately more general with the export from Apify platform into CSV. CSV is a "flat" format, so for every result item it needs to be a single row of data, so all arrays (like photos, nearby houses etc) are expanded and use many columns in the output file. The daysOnZillow field is there in the dataset, but, as noted by the warning below, it isn't included in the CSV export unless manually specified. There are probably two options for you: either use a different format (when building Actors, I personally work almost exclusively with JSON), or manually specify all the fields that you want in the export URL, like in this example: https://api.apify.com/v2/datasets/fWRGmnsrmyu5ufl0n/items?clean=true&format=csv&limit=5&fields=hdpUrl,daysOnZillow,resoFacts/hoaFee.

I hope this helps, feel free to reply or reopen the issue if you have further questions.
