Why am I not getting the results from this apify actor (Instagram post scrapper)?
There could be a few reasons why you're not getting results from the Apify actor: 1. The data import might be delayed. Our system refreshes every 24 hours, so it may not be within the update window yet. 2. There might be an issue with the input data format. Ensure your JSON is correctly formatted, with text in quotes and no extra commas at the end. 3. Check your Apify account connection in Clay. You can verify this in Settings > Connections.To troubleshoot, try manually triggering an update by clicking the Apify column header and selecting sources.Can you provide more details about when you ran the actor and what specific error message, if any, you're seeing?

Based on the image you've shared, it appears there's an issue with the input data format for the Apify actor. The error message suggests a problem parsing the body of your request. Here are some steps to troubleshoot: 1. Ensure all text in your JSON input is enclosed in double quotes. 2. Remove any extra commas at the end of your JSON objects. 3. Double-check your overall JSON structure for proper formatting.To fix this, try pasting your input data into a JSON validator like JSONLint to identify and correct any formatting issues. If you're using dynamic column tokens, make sure the key is in quotes, but don't put quotes around the token itself.Can you share the exact input data you're using for the Apify actor?

Actor is expecting an insta post url however you are trying to pass the instagram profile URL
The Apify actor is not working because you're providing an Instagram profile URL instead of an Instagram post URL. Apify actors are designed for specific tasks, and in this case, the actor is expecting data for an Instagram post, not a profile.To fix this issue: 1. Make sure you're using the correct Apify actor for your needs (Instagram post scraper, not profile scraper). 2. In the Input Data section, provide the URL of a specific Instagram post, not a profile. 3. Double-check your JSON input format to ensure it's correctly structured.If you need to scrape Instagram profile data instead, look for an Apify actor specifically designed for that purpose and adjust your input accordingly.

Hey Muhammad! Thanks for getting back to me. I used an Instagram user name since that's the information I usually put directly in that actor on Apify
The Apify actor isn't working with an Instagram username because it's designed for a specific purpose - likely scraping individual Instagram posts, not profiles. Each Apify actor is created for a particular task, and in this case, it's expecting a post URL, not a username.To resolve this, you need to: 1. Ensure you're using the correct Apify actor for your needs (e.g., an Instagram profile scraper instead of a post scraper). 2. Provide the correct input format as specified by the actor's requirements. 3. Double-check your JSON input structure in the "Input Data" section of the Clay integration.If you need to scrape Instagram profile data, look for an Apify actor specifically designed for that purpose and adjust your input accordingly.
