Actor pay per event

Hi, I've seen mentions of a "pay per event" pricing model https://docs.apify.com/platform/actors/running/actors-in-store#pay-per-event & https://apify.com/mhamas/pay-per-event-example, but can't find how to use it for one of my actor, i only see rental or pay per result options.
How can we use this pay per event pricing model?

Google Lens - extract product name

Hello, I would like to ask if any Apify tool can, for example, find a similar image - https://i.postimg.cc/KzRHFKQc/55.jpg and extract the product name from the links to CSV. We can use Google Lens? I want to use this to automatically name antique products.

Thanks for the all informations and help! 👋

I'm attempting to validate that the proxy works and am not having luck, should I expect the following to work?

Plain Text

I Can't public my actor

my account: https://apify.com/wudizhangzhi
actors: https://console.apify.com/actors/KAkfFaz8JVdvOQQ5F/source

Error: Operation failed! (You currently don’t have the necessary permissions to publish an Actor. This is expected behavior. Please contact support for assistance in resolving the issue.)

Google Maps crawler - Increasing place limit after initial run

Hi everyone,
I recently ran a Google Maps scraper (https://apify.com/compass/crawler-google-places) to collect place data, and I've discovered that there are many more places available than what was initially collected in my first run.
Current Situation:

Successfully completed an initial scrape
Have collected data for X places
Discovered there are significantly more places available
Already have a dataset from the first run

Questions:
Is it possible to increase the place limit on my existing run configuration?
If I need to create a new run, what's the best way to:

Import/merge my existing scraped data
Avoid duplicating places already collected
Continue from where the previous run stopped

Any guidance on the most efficient approach would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks in advance!
