A: You can scrape between 1 and 1000 images per run. For larger datasets, run the Actor multiple times with different search queries. Q: Do I need proxies? A: No, but using Apify Proxy is highly recommended to avoid rate limiting from 500px. Q: Can I download the actual image files? A: The Actor provides direct URLs to the images. You can use these URLs to download the files separately or integrate with another Actor for downloading. Q: Can I filter by photographer or category? A: Currently, the Actor supports search queries and sorting. You can include photographer names in your search query (e.g., "landscape by photographer_name").
