PhantomBuster API Call

How To
,
1

Hey guys. I am having an issue with setting up an API call to PhantomBuster and hoping I can get some help. This is a long one so bear with me plz.

I know Make has PhantomBuster modules built in, but there seems to be some kind of developer issue with the module. From what I’ve seen in another post, it was already reported and Make is looking into it as we speak. So I’m trying to call the API manually with a HTTP request.

The Phantom I am trying to launch is the Linkedin URL scraper. It requires the persons full name and the name of their company.

I added these arguments in the body of the request along with the other necessary keys as follows:

{
“id”: “4016421785064731”,
“saveArgument”: true,
“manualLaunch”: true,
“maxinstancecount”: 1,
“argument”: {
“FullName”: “[Full Name]”,
“Company”: “[Company Name]”
}
}

I’ve added the necessary headers and I get a successful request. But when the phantom launches, I keep getting an invalid configuration notice in Phantom Buster, even though I set it up correctly.

The output I am getting from PhantomBuster is as follows:

If this was set up in PhantomBuster instead of Make, you’d be required to attach a google sheet with the Full Name and Company Name. But I am scraping the name and company name using chatgpt and sending it directly to phantom buster.

Can anyone help me with this?

For technical issues or bugs like this, directly contacting support can often lead to a faster resolution. They have access to your specific account details, scenario and scenario logs, server-side logs, and internal tools and resources, which allows them to investigate more thoroughly than what you have access to.

You can open a new ticket here, or if you are unable to login for some reason, you can create another new free account to access the ticketing system (which is only available to logged-in users). After submitting a new ticket, you will receive an automatic confirmation email with the subject “Ticket Created” in the subject. If you do not receive this, try sending the ticket again.

If you manage to get your issue resolved with support, we’d still love to hear about it! Sharing your solution on the forum can help others facing similar problems.

Hope this helps! Let me know if there are any further questions or issues.
