SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

💡 This Skill includes references (resource) components.

What problem does it solve?

This Skill helps you convert existing applications into Apify Actors so they can run as serverless, reusable automations on the Apify platform without rewriting the whole project.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Project Conversion: Add the Apify runtime structure to JavaScript, TypeScript, Python, or CLI-based projects.
  • Input and Output Wiring: Define JSON inputs, structured outputs, and persistence through Apify storage primitives.
  • Deployment Readiness: Prepare actor metadata, Docker configuration, local testing, and platform deployment for real-world use.
  • Use Case: A developer with a desktop script or crawler can turn it into a cloud-ready Actor that accepts JSON input and returns dataset results.

Quick Start

Transform the project into an Apify Actor by wrapping its entry point with the correct lifecycle, configuring the input schema, and testing it locally before deployment.

FAQPage Schema
How do I convert an existing Python project into an Apify Actor?▼

To convert an existing Python project into an Apify Actor, you wrap its entry point with the Apify runtime lifecycle, configure the input schema, and test it locally before deployment.

Can I turn a JavaScript or TypeScript script into a serverless Apify Actor?▼

Yes, you can turn a JavaScript or TypeScript script into a serverless Apify Actor by applying the correct runtime wrapper, handling JSON inputs, and publishing structured outputs through Apify storage primitives.

What is the best way to prepare a CLI application for Apify deployment?▼

The best way to prepare a CLI application for Apify deployment is to configure actor metadata, set up Docker configuration, and ensure local testing readiness for production actorization.

Does actorization require rewriting my entire project for the Apify platform?▼

No, actorization does not require rewriting your entire project. It involves wrapping the existing entry point with the correct lifecycle and wiring JSON inputs and structured outputs to Apify storage primitives.

How do I handle input and output when making a crawler cloud-ready on Apify?▼

You handle input and output for a cloud-ready crawler by defining JSON input schemas, configuring structured outputs, and managing data persistence through Apify storage primitives during the actorization process.
