Hi Apify Support, We're about to launch a new apify actor and have a question: 1. We know that each actor we release, you daily automated test it with the prefill options. 2. Our app uses an API key to submit data online. 3. Problem is that for security and legal reasons we cannot share our api key to be used as the prefill. 4. Can you specify how we can overcome this hurdle but still keep automated testing. One Idea - Apify can register a free account and use their free api key to automated test it daily. Looking forward to your response and to submitting another app Thanks!

one way to solve this is to ensure that one static dataset record is always inserted regardless whether the API key was provided or not. It could be an empty record just to pass the tests. If the record does not cost that much, then it is not a big deal for the user I think.

thanks. it will solve it but kind of condusing to the user as if they enter other input data they will always get my sample data
note that i contacted support and they helpe me remove the auto check for this app
