Overview

This node interacts with the Apify API to retrieve a list of actors. It is useful for users who want to manage or analyze actors they own or explore actors available on the Apify platform. For example, a user can fetch only their own actors, paginate through large lists of actors, and sort the results by creation date.

Use Case Examples

1. Fetch a list of actors owned by the user, limited to 50 results, sorted by creation date descending.
2. Retrieve all actors starting from the 100th record, sorted ascending by creation date.

Properties

Name	Meaning
My	If true, the returned list only contains actors owned by the user.
Offset	Number of records to skip at the start of the list, used for pagination.
Limit	Maximum number of actor records to return, with a default and maximum of 1000.
Desc	If true, sort actors by creation date in descending order; otherwise ascending.
Use Custom Body	Whether to use a custom request body instead of the default query parameters.

Output

JSON

• actors - Array of actor objects returned from the Apify API.
• total - Total number of actors available matching the query.

Dependencies

• Requires Apify API access with an API key credential.

Troubleshooting

• Ensure the Apify API credential is correctly configured and valid to avoid authentication errors.
• If the returned list is empty, verify the 'My' parameter and pagination settings (Offset and Limit) to ensure they match the expected data scope.
• Check network connectivity and API endpoint availability if requests fail.
