Hi! Thank you for opening this issue. We do not provide a way to map the results before they are pushed to dataset.

If you are using the Actor from console you can download only the fields you want by going to Storage->Dataset. You can than decide how to dictate the fields you want (by omission or selection) and the format you want. This is a guide on how to do it .

If you are using the API, that's up to you. You will receive the data in a JSON format (like the one you can see on console) and then you can extract all the properties you deem valuable for your project. Once you know what the dataset output looks like should be pretty easy.

In general, we return every data we can collect because we serve many use cases. How you want to work with those data is up to you!

I hope this helps. Feel free to ask more questions if you want to!

Hi, alternatively you could also try using the Merge, Dedup & Transform Datasets utility Actor, where using the dataset transform functions, you can modify the output however you wish :)

You can then simply connect the Actors together via Actor to Actor integrations to automate the whole process.

Thanks!
