Methods

call

  • call(*, task_input, build, max_items, memory_mbytes, timeout_secs, webhooks, wait_secs): dict | None

  • Start a task and wait for it to finish before returning the Run object.

    It waits indefinitely, unless the wait_secs argument is provided.

    https://docs.apify.com/api/v2#/reference/actor-tasks/run-collection/run-task

    Parameters

    • task_input: dict | None = Nonekeyword-only

      Task input dictionary

    • build: str | None = Nonekeyword-only

      Specifies the actor build to run. It can be either a build tag or build number. By default, the run uses the build specified in the task settings (typically latest).

    • max_items: int | None = Nonekeyword-only

      Maximum number of results that will be returned by this run. If the Actor is charged per result, you will not be charged for more results than the given limit.

    • memory_mbytes: int | None = Nonekeyword-only

      Memory limit for the run, in megabytes. By default, the run uses a memory limit specified in the task settings.

    • timeout_secs: int | None = Nonekeyword-only

      Optional timeout for the run, in seconds. By default, the run uses timeout specified in the task settings.

    • wait_secs: int | None = Nonekeyword-only

      The maximum number of seconds the server waits for the task run to finish. If not provided, waits indefinitely.
