Apify module "Get dataset items" returns empty

Hi everyone,

I’m setting up my first scenario with Apify modules and I can’t get dataset items as you see in the screenshot.

The actor works fine in Apify and the dataset in Apify is populated, but I can’t figure out why I can’t retrieve data in Make. The dataset ID that the “Run an actor module” is passing to “get dataset” is ok.

What am I missing?
Thank you for your help.

Welcome to the Make community!

This is because Run an Actor appears to be set to asynchronous.

This means the module only triggers the initialization of the actor to begin running, and immediately returns to proceed to the next module.

This means that at the time the “Get dataset items” is called, the actor likely has not concluded processing yet, hence there are no results.

Look for an field to toggle it to synchronous.

Hope you dont mind me gauging this thread but seems to be related to your issue, I was wondering about the ID that you use to retrieve dataset items, its the one you use from here right?

Because I have used that exact ID:

To try and retrieve my dataset but I get an empty response with an error “dataset was not found”

EDIT: Nevermind I got it, its the ID under storage or the “defaultDatsetId”…
