When do developers become partners and what analytics are available?

Good day, we are doing a study of web APIs and development platforms. We are looking at Zapier and other platforms. About Zapier, we have some questions. The developers who build integrations, are they partners at the same time? Are they only partners if they publish their integrations in the zapier directory? What are the analytics that developers and partners can access?

Zapier Custom Action doesn't pass through data from a dynamic field select list

For an action I use a dynamic field containing a list of users (ids / labels). I collect the users via Rest API and they are presented in the UI.I defined the list in the dynamic field code like:    const options = {        url: 'https://<mysite>.ngrok.io/rest/1.0/<my endpoint>?expand=users',        method: 'GET',        headers: {            'Accept': 'application/json',            'Authorization': `Bearer ${bundle.authData.api_key}`        }    }    return z.request(options)        .then((response) => {            response.throwForStatus();            return {          key: 'coverers',          label: 'Coverers for automatic reassigns',          placeholder: 'Choose a coverer',          choices: response.json.users,          list: true        }    });In the API request for the action I define the "coverers" property and it is filled with an array of the size of the number of users I add in the UI.

What limits exist for how long a zap can take to complete?

I saw this thread:And there is a somewhat alarming statement:Your entire function only gets ~30 seconds to run.  There’s no way to control for extending that. I am working on a zap that needs to process a large list of elements. The zap would be triggered by a single event, which would then call an action to fetch a list, and then iterate over that list, and every page in that list. The size of the list could exceed 10,000 records. It is very likely that iterating over that list would take longer than 30 seconds. Something though doesn’t feel right to me about the above statement about 30 seconds. If I use delays and other mechanics, I could artificially force my zap to take longer than 30 seconds, forcing a failure every single time. @Zane can you clarify your statement about how long Zaps are allowed to run? And whether my use case above is achievable with the platform today?

Task limit reached while app under development

My app at the moment is under development and I am working at a few Zaps that will soon be made public (together with the app). The issue is that while developing those zaps I reached the limit of tasks I can activate. Is that correct? Or was there a setting I missed that would have allowed my under development tasks not to count?

Google scraping for dummies :-)

We get a lot of requests to scrape Google and we have had to turn them away because it's just so difficult for even an experienced programmer to overcome Google's defences. So we decided to do it ourselves. Very excited. We hope big things will come off it. Watch this space in the next few days. Sorry for this post. I just had to tell someone.

How to get additional rows in a dynamic field that calls an odata query API?

Hello,I am building an action and I have a dynamic field that is calling an odata api. The api sends back a limited set of data, i.e., gets all the persons in the app in batches. Since this is understandably a huge dataset, the api only returns a subset of persons data at a time.Is there a way to continue querying the odata api for the next batch as the user scrolls down the dynamic field until all the persons are retrieved or the user stops scrolling?
