hi, im a noobie to apify and have limited coding knowledge
looking to have some custom actors made in general if i can figure out how to use this platform...

for now im trying to make a bunch of POST/GET requests (not sure) to USPS Verify api which gives xml output.

https://console.apify.com/actors/UkYNraodH8de76iZ7/console
or
https://console.apify.com/actors/5erSruYGRJ6qvuh2v/console

works on test input url's

(http://production.shippingapis.com/ShippingApi.dll?API=Verify&XML=%3CAddressValidateRequest%20USERID=%27117PRIVA1637%27%3E%3CRevision%3E1%3C/Revision%3E%3CAddress%20ID=%270%27%3E%3CAddress1%3E12233%20S%20MCDANIEL%20ST%3C/Address1%3E%3CAddress2%3E%3C/Address2%3E%3CCity%3E%3C/City%3E%3CState%3EIL%3C/State%3E%3CZip5%3E60803%3C/Zip5%3E%3CZip4%3E%3C/Zip4%3E%3C/Address%3E%3C/AddressValidateRequest%3E) for example....

i have a list of 17k address in a google sheet that i need to get the data from...

whats the best way to post the urls into one of the actors
and call the data ? they both output in json format, and i can call importjson custom function in google sheet that works quite well. but im confused with the multiple endpoints that i can use and ultimately want the data appended to the same row in google sheets...

https://console.apify.com/actors/uCbMx3aLeKZLuDKvH/console

looks like it could work for that part...

any advice is much appreciated
