apify-sdk-integration — Skills

What it does

Adding web scraping or automation to an existing app

Calling Apify Actors programmatically from application code

Building a product that uses Apify as a backend service

Integrating Actor results into a data pipeline

search-actors — search the Apify Store by keyword

fetch-actor-details — get the Actor's input schema, output format, and pricing

Set timeouts: Pass timeoutSecs in the Actor input or use waitSecs on .call() to avoid indefinite waits.

Requirements & configuration

Store the token securely — environment variable or secrets manager, never hardcoded.

Before writing integration code, find the Actor that fits the user's needs. Use the MCP tools if available:

const client = new ApifyClient({ token: process.env.APIFYTOKEN });

Use .start() + .waitForFinish() for long-running Actors or when you need the run ID immediately.

client = ApifyClient(token=os.environ['APIFYTOKEN'])

Configuration: APIFY_TOKEN
