Every run starts with a spending limit
Each skill checks the Actor's active pay-per-event pricing before execution and sends Apify's maxTotalChargeUsd parameter.
Followers and Following use a $5 default cap when no budget is supplied. Other skills calculate their cap from the submitted usernames, links, or scan pages.
The complete dataset and run identifiers remain available for downstream automation. Empty successful results are reported as empty, not as failures.
Apify access
Use a paid account or request approved Free access
The skills call external paid services on Apify. Approved Free users receive limited access through the existing DataVoyantLab entitlement system.
Questions
What to know before installing
Do the skills include Instagram data?
No. They teach an AI agent how to call the corresponding DataVoyantLab Actor. The Actor collects the requested public data when the skill runs.
Will my Apify token be exposed?
The instructions require the token through the APIFY_TOKENenvironment variable and explicitly prevent printing or storing it.
Can a Free Apify account use them?
Only approved Free users can run these Actors. Email DataVoyantLab with the Apify user ID that will execute the run.
Where are the full results?
The agent returns the dataset items and keeps the run and dataset identifiers available for later API calls or automation.
