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
- Run
apify init in project root
- Wrap code with SDK lifecycle (see language-specific section below)
- Configure
.actor/input_schema.json
- Test with
apify run --input '{"key": "value"}'
- 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:
brew install apify-cli
Verify CLI is logged in:
apify info
If not logged in, check if APIFY_TOKEN environment variable is defined. If not, ask the user to generate one at https://console.apify.com/settings/integrations, add it to their shell or secret manager without putting the literal token in command history, then run:
apify login
