The actor is scraping the wrong video. I’m providing the URL https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8DajVKAkL50 via the startUrls input in my request body, but the actor consistently returns data for a different video (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RkGouwhukjQ). The input is being passed dynamically from n8n and verified to be correct before the actor is called, so it seems the actor is either caching results or defaulting to a hardcoded URL instead of using the provided startUrls.

I just tested the URL you have provided and it seems to be working: https://console.apify.com/view/runs/9l7aJNajc2gkX8UP6 Can you share those runs with me so I can check?

The example you've provided (https://console.apify.com/view/runs/W8d985QR7rI9MUmhF) has an incorrect input:

{
  "downloadSubtitles": false,
  "hasCC": false,
  "hasLocation": false,
  "hasSubtitles": false,
  "is360": false,
  "is3D": false,
  "is4K": false,
  "isBought": false,
  "isHD": false,
  "isHDR": false,
  "isLive": false,
  "isVR180": false,
  "maxResultStreams": 0,
  "maxResults": 0,
  "maxResultsShorts": 0,
  "preferAutoGeneratedSubtitles": false,
  "saveSubsToKVS": false,
  "startUrls": [
    {
      "url": "https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8DajVKAkL50",
      "method": "GET"
    }
  ],
  "start_urls": [
    "https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RkGouwhukjQ"
  ]
}

You must enter the urls to scrape in 'start_utls' and not in 'startUrls'.
