Solution to convert big JSON files to CSV/Excel in JS. Paste URL for the JSON into the input along with the name of the dataset to store the records. The actor uses the dataset to handle the conversion of the items by pushing them to the dataset, which is then downloaded.

28        console.log("Loaded", parsedData.length, " for ", solve.name);

31            console.log("Remaining records for", solve.name, " is: ", parsedData.length)
32            await datasets.putItems({datasetId: dataset.id,data: parsedData.splice(0, 1000)});
33        }
34        console.log(solve.name," finished.")
35        console.log("Download a CSV : https://api.apify.com/v2/datasets/" + dataset.id + "/items?format=csv&attachment=1");
36        console.log("Download a XLSX : https://api.apify.com/v2/datasets/" + dataset.id + "/items?format=xlsx&attachment=1");

Actor expects the file on the input in this structure:

1[{
2	"name":"Here is a name of the object 1.",
3	"value1": 1,
4	"value2":2,
5	"end":"Thanks for watching!"
6},
7{
8	"name":"Here is a name of the object 2.",
9	"value1": 1,
10	"value2":2,
11	"end":"Thanks for watching!"
12}]
