Apify is being added to input

I send this from make.com as JSON input: { "dateFilter": "2025-02-20", "details": true, "max_comments": 1, "max_videos": 1, "start_urls": [ {"url":"https://www.youtube.com/c/CryptoWendyO","method": "GET"} ] }

When I run it, I get wrong output in dataset. I go to look at the run and the "Apify" line is now somehow addded to the input: { "dateFilter": "2025-02-20", "details": true, "max_comments": 1, "max_videos": 1, "start_urls": [ { "url": "https://www.youtube.com/c/CryptoWendyO", "method": "GET" } ], "startUrls": [ { "url": "https://www.youtube.com/@Apify" } ], "maxResults": 0, "maxResultsShorts": 0, "maxResultStreams": 0 }

What do you think is happening?

Hi, thanks for opening this issue!

We are actually also working on our own YouTube scraper integration on Make.com, but it's still a work in progress at the moment :)

Anyway, to explain, some fields are automatically appended to the input when used from an API, those are the default fields that the scraper takes in as default, if no value is provided for them. Please make sure that you set some value for those. But it's also a place to improve for us, because those fields should be required for the scraper, so a problem like you are having right now wouldn't happen. We will update that :)

E.g. I can see that you are setting a field of start_urls from Make, please update it to what the scraper uses - startUrls

I hope this helps, thanks and happy scraping!
