# Run task synchronously


```
GET 
https://api.apify.com/v2/actor-tasks/:actorTaskId/run-sync
```


Run a specific task and return its output.

The run must finish in 300 seconds otherwise the HTTP request fails with a timeout error (this won't abort the run itself).

Beware that it might be impossible to maintain an idle HTTP connection for an extended period, due to client timeout or network conditions. Make sure your HTTP client is configured to have a long enough connection timeout.

If the connection breaks, you will not receive any information about the run and its status.

To run the Task asynchronously, use the  endpoint instead.

## Request

### Path Parameters

* **actorTaskId** string required

  Task ID or a tilde-separated owner's username and task's name.

  **Example:** `janedoe~my-task`

### Query Parameters

* **timeout** double

  Optional timeout for the run, in seconds. By default, the run uses a timeout specified in the task settings.

  **Example:** `60`

  **memory** double

  Memory limit for the run, in megabytes. The amount of memory can be set to a power of 2 with a minimum of 128. By default, the run uses a memory limit specified in the task settings.

  **Example:** `256`

  **maxItems** double

  Specifies the maximum number of dataset items that will be charged for pay-per-result Actors. This does NOT guarantee that the Actor will return only this many items. It only ensures you won't be charged for more than this number of items. Only works for pay-per-result Actors. Value can be accessed in the actor run using `ACTOR_MAX_PAID_DATASET_ITEMS` environment variable.

  **Example:** `1000`

  **build** string

  Specifies the Actor build to run. It can be either a build tag or build number. By default, the run uses the build specified in the task settings (typically `latest`).

  **Example:** `0.1.234`

  **outputRecordKey** string

  Key of the record from run's default key-value store to be returned in the response. By default, it is `OUTPUT`.

  **Example:** `OUTPUT`

  **webhooks** string

  Specifies optional webhooks associated with the Actor run, which can be used to receive a notification e.g. when the Actor finished or failed. The value is a Base64-encoded JSON array of objects defining the webhooks. For more information, see [Webhooks documentation](https://docs.apify.com/platform/integrations/webhooks).

  **Example:** `dGhpcyBpcyBqdXN0IGV4YW1wbGUK...`
