Overview

This node interacts with the Apify API to retrieve details about a specific Actor Task. It is useful for scenarios where users need to fetch information about a particular task run by an Apify actor, such as monitoring task status or retrieving task configuration. For example, a user can specify an Actor Task ID or a combination of the owner's username and task name to get detailed information about that task.

Use Case Examples

1. Retrieve details of a specific Apify Actor Task by its ID to monitor its status.
2. Fetch configuration and metadata of an Actor Task using the task's URL or ID.

Properties

Name	Meaning
Actor Task ID	The unique identifier of the Actor Task or a tilde-separated string combining the owner's username and the task's name. This property supports multiple input modes including selecting from a list, providing a URL, or directly entering the ID.
Use Custom Body	A boolean flag indicating whether to use a custom request body when making the API call. Defaults to false.

Output

JSON

• taskId - The unique identifier of the retrieved Actor Task.
• taskName - The name of the Actor Task.
• ownerUsername - The username of the owner of the Actor Task.
• taskDetails - Detailed information about the Actor Task including configuration, status, and metadata.

Dependencies

• Requires an Apify API key credential for authentication to access the Apify API.

Troubleshooting

• Ensure the Actor Task ID or URL is correctly formatted; invalid formats will cause validation errors.
• If the API key is missing or invalid, authentication errors will occur; verify the API credentials are correctly set.
• Network issues or API downtime may cause request failures; check network connectivity and Apify service status.
