Apify Debug Bundle
Overview
Collect all diagnostic information needed to troubleshoot failed Actor runs and prepare Apify support tickets. Pulls run metadata, logs, dataset samples, and environment info into a single bundle.
Prerequisites
apify-client installedAPIFY_TOKEN configuredA failed or problematic run ID to investigate
Instructions
Step 1: Investigate a Failed Run
import { ApifyClient } from 'apify-client' ;
const client = new ApifyClient ({ token : process.env .APIFY_TOKEN });
async function investigateRun (runId : string const run = await client.run (runId).get ();
console .log ('=== Run Summary ===' );
console .log (`Status: ${run.status} ` );
console .log (`Message: ${run.statusMessage} ` );
console .log (`Started: ${run.startedAt} ` );
console .log (`Finished: ${run.finishedAt} ` );
console .log
`Memory MB: ${run.options?.memoryMbytes} `
console
log
`Timeout sec: ${run.options?.timeoutSecs} `
console
log
`Build: ${run.buildNumber} `
console
log
`Origin: ${run.meta?.origin} `
console
log
`CU used: ${run.usage?.ACTOR_COMPUTE_UNITS?.toFixed(4 )} `
console
log
`Cost USD: $${run.usageTotalUsd?.toFixed(4 )} `

Step 3: Compare Successful vs Failed Runs async function compareRuns (successId : string , failId : string const success = await client.run (successId).get ();

console .log ('=== Run Comparison ===' );
const fields = [

console .log (`${'Field' .padEnd(25 )} | ${'Success' .padEnd(15 )} | Failed` );
console .log ('-' .repeat (60 ));
const get = (obj : any , path : string split ('.' ).reduce ((o, k ) => o?.[k], obj);
for (const field of fields) {
const sVal = get (success, field) ?? 'N/A' ;
const fVal = get (fail, field) ?? 'N/A' ;
const marker = sVal !== fVal ? ' <--' : '' ;
console .log (`${field.padEnd(25 )} | ${String (sVal).padEnd(15 )} | ${fVal} ${marker} ` );

Sensitive Data Handling Always redact before sharing:
API tokens (apify_api_*)
Proxy passwords
PII (emails, names, IPs)
Custom environment variables
Run IDs, Actor IDs, dataset IDs
Error messages and stack traces
Run configuration (memory, timeout)
Platform health status
Escalation Path
Check run log for stack trace
Compare with a successful run
Check Apify Status for outages
Create debug bundle
Submit to Apify Support with bundle attached
Error Handling Issue Cause Solution Run not foundInvalid run ID or expired Unnamed runs expire after 7 days Log unavailableRun still in progress Wait for completion or stream live Empty dataset Actor produced no output Check failedRequestHandler in code High CU usage Memory too high or slow execution Reduce memory, optimize code
