Getting charged for one result even if there are no results

Closed

Hi, not sure why I'm getting charged for one result even when there is no results for certain searches?

For example, in the attached run, there was no results for my query (the one result that is shown is not a video item, it is a generic link to videos page of the searched channel) but I still got charged for one result. This may not matter much for a few trial runs but it quickly adds up for my use case where my queries might not have results every time I look for it.

Could somebody look into this? Thanks a lot.. Appreciate it!

Hi, thanks for the issue! First of all, we've fixed a bug with date filtering and now it should be done more accurately (here is an example run https://console.apify.com/view/runs/C7GUQhn7mLa0Brmv5). Secondly, when there actually are no matching results (e.g. you scrape 5 last days, but the last video is from a month ago), you will still be charged at least 1 item - that's because running this actor still costs the platform something and so it isn't free. Let me know if this helps
