How can I mark requests in the queue as unprocessed?

How can I make requests in the RequestQueueue queue available for re-processing? I am interested in how to do this both for the entire queue and for individual requests.

Suppose the actor has processed all the requests in the queue, but I want to run it again on existing requests. Or re-process only some of them. Is this possible?

Are you running on the Apify platform or elsewhere?

1. The Apify platform queue is extremely limited for manipulation, there is no way to access the processed requests. You would need to use a bit hacky solution like this: https://apify.com/lukaskrivka/rebirth-failed-requests
2. Outside of platform the queue uses SQL lite so you can install some editor for it and manipulate it there. There is no direct way in the SDK.

@metalwarrior665 what about adding the request back to the queue as new one, with a different uniqueKey?

Yes, sorry I didn't specify, I'm talking about a local script using the Apify SDK. I saw that queues are stored in SQLite databases, but I can't figure out how exactly a query is marked as done. Can you tell me a little bit about that? The option of going directly to the database works for me, but I don't know exactly what I should change.

@B4nan If you know the request ID, then you can easily renew it like in the link I mentioned (no need to create new requests). If this solution will not work for some reason, you can do a diff between your start URLs and results but it gets complicated when you have complicated pagination logic etc. Then you can add them to the queue from the outside as new requests
