Hello. You've set resultsLimit to 1 in your input for your runs, and you provided 2 directUrls. resultsLimit limits how many results you get per entry in directUrls. Meaning that if you have 4 URLs provided in the input, it will get a 1 result for each URL. The resultsLimit is applied per URL, not per run.

Is this explanation sufficient? If so, I can close this issue, if not, feel free to ask follow up questions :)

it should not be like that, it's misleading and make us waste more credits. if the limit it 1 you should give 1 result, not 2

so what if I put 2 URLs?

you should build it in a smart way that it will rotate between them

Hello, from your latest run I can see that you've created an input that leaves you with only 1 result per run, with 1 URL and resultsLimit set to one. Should I consider this issue closed, or do you have any further questions? Thank you :)
