File size upload to KeyValueStore

At a glance

The community member created an actor that downloads and uploads videos to a KeyValueStore, but encountered an error when uploading large videos due to the 2GB file size limit. A community member suggested using streams to avoid this issue, providing an example code snippet using the got and stream libraries to download and upload the videos using a streaming approach.

I created actor which downloads and uploads videos to KeyValueStore, some of videos are pretty big and getting this error:

2024-05-18T15:54:15.572Z Failed to upload video: RangeError [ERR_FS_FILE_TOO_LARGE]: File size (2183982088) is greater than 2 GiB

so anyway to get around this and what are best practices on apify for downloading and uploading of big files

Hi, 2GB is the node's limit for reading files. You can avoid it by using streams:

Plain Text

import got from 'got'
import stream from 'node:stream'

const headers = { 'Content-Type': contentType }
await streamPipeline(
    got.stream.get(DOWNLOAD_URL, { headers }),
    new stream.PassThrough(),
    got.stream.put(UPLOAD_URL, { headers }),
)
