Tips for Best Results

Choose Clear Filters

Use either a profile URL, a focused keyword, or both to reduce noisy results.

Keep Early Runs Small

Start with results_wanted: 20 to validate output shape quickly, then scale up.

Use Category Dropdowns

Use the built-in category dropdown values such as Jobs, AI, Social media, and MCP servers for tighter targeting. If you want all actors from a profile (for example all 301 actors), choose All categories.

Use Sort and Developer Filters

Pick Most Relevant, Newest, Pouplar, or Recently updated, then apply developer maintenance filters to focus results.

Use Proxy for Reliability

Enable proxy configuration for consistent collection across repeated runs.
