url or urls is required. Batch size is provider-dependent — non-batch providers process one URL per request.Service slug of the form
<provider>/<platform>/<type> (with an optional :<tag> suffix), e.g. apify/linkedin/profile.info or apify/linkedin/profile.posts:apimaestro. Copy-paste-friendly from the providers page; fully specifies the routing target.<provider>— e.g.apify,brightdata<platform>— one of:linkedin,instagram,x,reddit,facebook,tiktok,youtube,pinterest,bluesky,snapchat,googlemaps<type>— one of:post.likes,post.comments,post.info,profile.info,profile.posts,profile.reels,profile.shorts,profile.followers,company.info,company.reviews,group.posts,job.listings,event.info,marketplace.listings,video.info,video.transcript,channel.info,playlist.posts,hashtag.posts,place.info,place.reviews<tag>(optional) — selects a specific actor/dataset variant when the provider exposes more than one for that platform+type.

GET /v1/providers for live coverage.Maximum number of records to return. Hard-capped at 250 on
/v1/extract to fit the per-provider deadline; larger pulls require the async API (soon).Whether to walk the provider chain if the requested provider fails. Set to
false to attempt only the requested provider and surface its error directly. The chain is built per (platform, type) and ordered by per-record cost ascending; the requested provider is always tried first.Per-actor input overrides as a plain JSON object. Each actor decides which keys it honors via its
buildInput allowlist — unknown keys are dropped server-side. Use this for actor-specific knobs that don’t have a first-class slot in the request body (e.g. proxyCountry, language). Layered on top of the actor’s defaults.
