Hi!

Its related to your previous question about json input values: you choose to get 3 posts and also to skip pinned posts in referenced run. Actor filtered out 3 pinned posts and then, since results limit was reached but no data saved to dataset, created dataset item with the error.

In other words results was scraped and scraping consumed CPU, RAM and proxies. Because of unexpected input logic no scraped results was saved and that's why specific json variables not recommended - when used, you should be able to compose input which really works, otherwise accept results "as is".

Sample re-run with your input but without skipping pinned posts: https://console.apify.com/view/runs/C3FUc0r6AGLw8Al2N

I´m going to close the issue now, but if there would be anything else we could help with, please let us know.
