How to avoid duplicate listings between actor runs?
Closed
I'm using this actor to collect rental listings and running it periodically. Currently I'm receiving the same listings in subsequent runs, which is costing extra credits and creating duplicates in my database.
Is there a configuration option or parameter that would allow me to only receive new listings that haven't been collected in previous runs? Ideally I'd like a solution that doesn't require code modifications.
Thanks a ton!
Hey, it is not possible to avoid the cost for scraping the same places again because the Actor actually has to go through all the results again as well, but it is possible to run the dataset with this Actor: https://console.apify.com/actors/WbkBysyU2pIYfjURX/.
Hi, you can also set up an automated integration with this Actor: Merge, Dedup & Transform Datasets
You can use the following link to add a new integration: https://console.apify.com/actors/X46xKaa20oUA1fRiP/integrations/actor/ou2buPCN9hYdGLVdT/add
This would help with removing duplicates before saving the results into your database. But it wouldn't save you any platform credits, that's not possible unfortunately

Thanks! Are you not able to use a key-value store as a cache so the scraper can skip detail pages it has already processed? I’ve seen other scrapers do this on Apify, it seems it would be doable with this Actor too.
