Apify integration gets data, but can't retrieve it

[James_Ellis]

What is your goal?

To pull data from an Apify actor

What is the problem & what have you tried?

I am running an Apify actor.
I have the first module running an actor.
That module is set on Sync: yes
Later I have a second module to Get Dataset Items
I have the Data: DefaultDatasetID set.
When I run the scenario, I can see the actor is being run (I can see and validate that the actor is properly scraping the data in Apify, and Make is waiting for the process to run before moving to the next step).
But when I try to get the data, I get errors and it fails.

I’ve read all the docs and I just feel stuck. Any and all help would be appreciated.

Error messages or input/output bundles

BundleValidationError
Validation failed for 1 parameter(s).
Missing value of required parameter ‘datasetId’.

When I use Data:defaultDatasetID, I get an error. When I use defaultDataset it returns the ID number, but not the data

Hi James,

{{7.defaultDatasetId}} should work in my experience. Have you tried switching the format from CSV to JSON?

It worked! Thank you!!!
