client = ApifyClient("<YOUR_APIFY_TOKEN>")
run_input = {
    "mode": "teams",
    "searchQuery": "Shohei Ohtani",
    "season": "2024",
    "maxItems": 20
}

run = client.actor("vexaloom-labs/mlb-teams-player-search-and-season-schedule-lookup").call(run_input=run_input)
if run is None:
    raise RuntimeError("The Actor run was not found.")
for item in client.dataset(run.default_dataset_id).iterate_items():
    print(item)

import { ApifyClient } from "apify-client";

const client = new ApifyClient({ token: "<YOUR_APIFY_TOKEN>" });
const input = {
    "mode": "teams",
    "searchQuery": "Shohei Ohtani",

What a run costs

The result rate falls on higher Apify plans. Each figure is the published per-result rate times the number of results.

• Every run also has a start event, charged per GB of memory (minimum one): $0.10 on Free, $0.03 on Business. At its default memory of 4 GB a run starts at $0.40 on Free. Fewer, larger runs keep this small.
• The Free plan includes $5 of monthly usage (Apify pricing, checked 2026-11-11); at the Free rate that covers at most about 5,050 results, less start events and platform usage.
• Worked example: 10,000 results in one run on the Free plan cost $10.30 ($9.90 for results + $0.40 start), plus Apify platform usage (compute), billed separately by Apify.
• Pay per event. Platform usage (compute) is billed by Apify on top of the event prices. Compare other tools in the cost estimator.
