Problem with URL entry

Closed

Hi, I connected the API to Bubble.io and with the GET function it works perfectly.

Now I am testing with the POST function (Run task synchronously and get dataset items) but it gives me errors when I enter the URL via JSON.

This is the JSON code:

{ “startUrls”: [ “https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MjQG-a7d41Q&ab_channel=WaltDisneyStudios” ] }

This is the error that appears to me in Bubble.io:

{ “error”: { “type”: “invalid-input”, “message”: “Input is not valid: Items in input.startUrls at positions [0] do not contain valid URLs” } }

I also tried this JSON:

{ “url”: “https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MjQG-a7d41Q&ab_channel=WaltDisneyStudios” }

And the error reported by Bubble.io is this:

Raw response for the API Status code 400 { “error”: { “type”: “run-failed”, “message”: “Actor run did not succeed (run ID: uuFYMCZxjncUpnZ3f, status: FAILED).” } }

Do you have a solution please?

Hi! The urls in the input have this format:

1"startUrls": [
2        {
3            "url": "https://www.youtube.com/@amplycash_23"
4        }
5    ]

I.e. the url itself is wrapped in a JSON object with a url property. So the first input would be fine, just wrap the url in such a JSON object. As a tip, you could set up an example input via visual editor here on Apify, then switch to JSON editor and copy the format.
