description	Convert existing projects into Apify Actors - serverless cloud programs. Actorize JavaScript/TypeScript (SDK with Actor.init/exit), Python (async context manager), or any language (CLI wrapper). Use when migrating code to Apify, wrapping CLI tools as Actors, or adding Actor SDK to existing projects.

Apify Actorization

Actorization converts existing software into reusable serverless applications compatible with the Apify platform. Actors are programs packaged as Docker images that accept well-defined JSON input, perform an action, and optionally produce structured JSON output.

Quick Start

1. Run apify init in project root
2. Wrap code with SDK lifecycle (see language-specific section below)
3. Configure .actor/input_schema.json
4. Test with apify run --input '{"key": "value"}'
5. Deploy with apify push

When to Use This Skill

• Converting an existing project to run on Apify platform
• Adding Apify SDK integration to a project
• Wrapping a CLI tool or script as an Actor
• Migrating a Crawlee project to Apify

Prerequisites

Verify apify CLI is installed:

apify --help

If not installed:

curl -fsSL https://apify.com/install-cli.sh | bash

# Or (Mac): brew install apify-cli
# Or (Windows): irm https://apify.com/install-cli.ps1 | iex
# Or: npm install -g apify-cli

Verify CLI is logged in:
