    Hi, Thanks for your question. Timeout errors when calling APIFY actors usually happen when there is too much data being processed, and the response takes too long. You could increase the power of the data you're using and or simply reducing the number that is expected to be returned. https://downloads.intercomcdn.com/i/o/w28k1kwz/1239564757/37ee718cc23ff1ae6b8a22686d24/image.png?expires=1730753100&signature=21a8fb38a0beb1b14c52633de194b750f308e6fbbbc0d604b6308fe34af6431f&req=dSIkH8x4mYZaXvMW1HO4zWb%2FIRWw4%2FCjnzls7U0xNmq4HuBOuIsvwlFtHzbX%0Aim0X%0A To help with this, try reducing the number of potential connections. For example, setting the value to β€œF” will only bring in first-degree connections. Let me know if you need more help with this or any other questions! 😊

    Hi! Here’s what I can share: The network value and the other methods are the main options. Alternatively, you can run this directly in Apify and send the results to Clay using webhooks. Some users prefer this approach to avoid timeouts. You can learn more about setting up webhooks here: Intro to Typeforms, Webhooks, and Inbound Lead Sources. Let me know if you need more help or details! 😊
