this is the input format i am giving { "directUrls": [ "https://www.instagram.com/blindbarber" ], "proxy": { "useApifyProxy": true, "groups": [ "RESIDENTIAL" ] } }

Dear Pedlar,

It looks like Clay limitation for some reason but I think below could help you if not please ping me we will sort it out.

You can extract only the needed fields (followers, last post date, posts, username):

In Clay, open the Source Column for your Apify data. 2.

Create columns for each field. 3.

Use formulas like =SOURCE_CELL["followers_count"], =SOURCE_CELL["last_post_date"], etc. (confirm JSON keys).

Optionally, tweak the Apify actor to output only these fields. Share a JSON sample for exact formulas or contact Clay support via “Talk to a person.”

Best, DataFusionX

This is what clay agent suggested: We currently limit the amount of data that can be stored in a single side to 200KB. We don't have a current workaround that lets us exceed that cell limit, If you're using Apify or AI prompts that return large JSON or HTML blocks, you might consider: Reducing the number of fields you return by limiting the output fields in your Apify configuration. meaning only pick the fields you really require. Use parameters like: ​ { "maxItems": 1, "onlyTotal": true, "outputFields": ["title", "date"], "resultsLimit": 1 }

Extracting only key insights (vs. full page scrapes or documents) Returning a link to the full result + summary instead of everything inline Use comma separation for multiple fields Use dot notation for nested data (object1.object2.name) Let me know if you still have questions.

I am not sure how to do that in apify

I think you need to config in clay apify integration to include only those required datapoints(column field) from APIFY datasets into your clay:

{ "maxItems": 1, "onlyTotal": true, "outputFields": ["username", "followers", "last_post_date"], "resultsLimit": 1 }

like this.

If nothing works till tomorrow then let me know I will add another actor for you with your required data points and format only

Thank you,

Clay team couldn't help me with that so if you can please do it

Sure, i will look into it.

Please share with me your final data points and data format you want also may i know what is the rate for urls/usernames you normal process?

The final data point that I want are: Username, IG Last Post Date, Followings, Followers, Business Address, Posts number

this is the current imput that i am using: {

"directUrls": [ "Instagram URL"


],

"proxy": {

    "useApifyProxy": true,

    "groups": [

        "RESIDENTIAL"

    ]

}

}

Okay got it. Thank you

Hi there, please check this actor: https://apify.com/devil_port369-owner/instagram-profile-scraper---custom?fpr=lklf0 and let me know.

Thank you,

Hi there,

That worked perfectly — thank you so much!

I wanted to ask if you could help us build a new Apify actor that scrapes the Facebook Ads Library. We only need one data point: the total number of ads a page is running. If it’s zero, just return 0 — no other data is needed.

We’re currently using an existing actor, but we’re running into the same “data size” issue. If you’re able to build a more efficient version for us, we’d be happy to switch and use it.

Here’s the current input we’re using:

{ "isDetailsPerAd": false, "onlyTotal": true, "startUrls": [ { "url": "https://www.facebook.com/ads/library/?active_status=active&ad_type=all&country=ALL&is_targeted_country=false&media_type=all&q=bghs.org&search_type=keyword_unordered", "method": "GET" } ] }

Wow 🤩 great to hear it fits in, sure I will publish it very soon.

Hey, any update on this?

Hi there by tomorrow eod i will publish it. Thank you
