Apify Crawler Ignoring Apollo Filters – Pulled 3.2 k Irrelevant Contacts Instead of 150
Closed
What we did:
-
Built an Apollo search for job title = “Private Investigator” in Europe, New Zealand, Australia, and Canada.
-
Apollo UI showed ≈ 150 matching profiles.
-
Passed the search URL to the standard Apify actor (no custom tweaks).
-
The run completed with ~3,200 rows.
The problem:
A quick scan of the CSV shows hundreds of titles like Private Banking Analyst, Private Client Advisor, Private Wealth Manager - clearly nothing to do with investigations. The crawler appears to have ignored the job-title filter, burning credits and polluting our list.
Impact:
-
Data quality: Our outreach workflow now contains >90 % irrelevant leads.
-
Cost: We paid for a 3,200-row scrape that should have been ~150.
-
Time: We now need to clean or re-scrape, delaying a time-sensitive campaign.

Sorry about that. The issue came from a bug in our system, which has already been fixed. Please re-run the actor for accurate results this. Again I apologise for that.

I see. Thanks for letting me know. Would it be possible to get a credit reimbursement of that run?

Unfortunately, I'm not aware of any means possible on the Apify platform by default.
However, if you provide me your username, then I can create a custom configuration on the actor such that your subsequent runs won't be charged for up to the said ~3,200 invalid added rows.
Again, sorry for the inconvenience.

Sounds good. Thanks. Here's our company username - luxre and here's my username - lux-prabhat

Cool. So which one do I work with - company or person account?
