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

    • keyword-onlytask_input: dict | None = None

      Task input dictionary

    • keyword-onlybuild: str | None = None

      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).

    • keyword-onlymax_items: int | None = None

      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.

    • keyword-onlymemory_mbytes: int | None = None

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

    • keyword-onlytimeout_secs: int | None = None

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

    • keyword-onlywebhooks: list[dict] | None = None

      Specifies optional webhooks associated with the Actor run, which can be used to receive a notification e.g. when the Actor finished or failed. Note: if you already have a webhook set up for the Actor or task, you do not have to add it again here.

    • keyword-onlywait_secs: int | None = None

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

    Returns dict | None

    The run object

delete

  • delete(): None

get

  • get(): dict | None

get_input

  • get_input(): dict | None

last_run

  • Retrieve the client for the last run of this task.

    Last run is retrieved based on the start time of the runs.

    Parameters

    • keyword-onlystatus: ActorJobStatus | None = None

      Consider only runs with this status.

    • keyword-onlyorigin: MetaOrigin | None = None

      Consider only runs started with this origin.

    Returns RunClient

    The resource client for the last run of this task.

runs

start

  • start(*, task_input, build, max_items, memory_mbytes, timeout_secs, wait_for_finish, webhooks): dict

  • Start the task and immediately return the Run object.
