Apify (Run an Actor) Operation 1 IMLError

What are you trying to achieve?

Hello dear community, I am brand new to make.com. I wanted to create my first workflow and already failed at the second module. My problem is the following: I wanted the apify module to pull data from an RSS feed, then apify website content crawler should pull the data. But when I now enter the JSON in the Apify module and test it with , I always get this error message with apify “Run an Actor” “Function ‘if’ finished with error! Function ‘validateInputJSON’ finished with error! Please check that your input is a valid JSON.” I copied and pasted apify JSON into make.com and replaced the URL with the RSS URL. Is there maybe someone in the community who has had this and can help me fix this error?

Hello @Romy_Amende,
Issues is json when you directly copy and paste it here. There are some spaces between elements.

The easiest way is just to copy json from apify and then put it on some JSON-formatted tool. Ex. https://jsonformatter.curiousconcept.com/
Then copy and paste that formatted data into API input and replace your variables.

If this does not work then let me know if there is another way to use the replace function and remove space. But that is no need if this directly works.

Hello, thank you so much for your quick reply. Unfortunately my monthly limit is used up, so I can’t test it now. But as soon as I have tokens available again, I will test it right away.

If it doesn’t work, I would be happy to get in touch again
