SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

Orchestrates scalable Apify-based web scraping by running Apify actors through the Robomotion CLI, enabling centralized actor execution, run monitoring, and dataset retrieval. Do NOT use for simple HTML parsing or non-Apify scraping tools.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Actor Execution: Start pre-built Apify actors with configurable timeouts and parameters.
  • Run Monitoring: Observe actor run status and capture results in real time.
  • Dataset Retrieval: Retrieve datasets from completed actor runs for analysis and archival storage.
  • Use Case: Scale data extraction for large websites or multi-actor crawls in a single, repeatable workflow.

Quick Start

Run an Apify actor with Robomotion and fetch the resulting dataset in a single command.

FAQPage Schema
How do I orchestrate Apify actors for scalable web scraping?

You orchestrate Apify actors for scalable web scraping by automating their execution through the Robomotion CLI. This enables centralized actor management, run monitoring, and dataset retrieval across multiple websites within a single repeatable workflow.

What do I need to run Apify actors through the Robomotion CLI?

To run Apify actors through the Robomotion CLI, you need a configured Robomotion CLI environment, an Apify API token, and a valid Apify account. These prerequisites are required to manage actor runs and access scraped dataset results.

Can I retrieve datasets from completed Apify actor runs?

Yes, you can retrieve datasets from completed Apify actor runs. The Skill captures actor run results in real time and retrieves the generated datasets for downstream analysis and archival storage after the scraping execution finishes.

When should I use Apify actor orchestration instead of simple HTML parsing?

You should use Apify actor orchestration instead of simple HTML parsing when you need to scale data extraction for large websites or coordinate multi-actor crawls. It is not designed for simple HTML parsing or non-Apify scraping tools.

How does run monitoring work for Apify web scraping tasks?

Run monitoring for Apify web scraping tasks works by observing the actor run status and capturing results in real time. This allows you to track the progress of scalable web scraping executions and ensure successful dataset retrieval.
