To publish a task, its Actor must be public, `publicConfig.inputSchemaFields` and
`publicConfig.datasetView` must be set, and the Actor must have fewer than 50 published

[Publishing a task](#publish-your-tasks) creates a public landing page that shows what it does, what inputs to provide, and what output to expect. Published tasks also appear in your Actor's **Example tasks** tab, which helps users discover your Actor through search engines and AI agents. For monetized Actors, more discoverability means more paid runs.

You can create up to 50 tasks per Actor.
You can publish up to 10 tasks per Actor, and up to 100 tasks across your account. To increase these limits, [contact support](http://apify.com/contact).
