## What's an Apify Actor?

Actors are a software tools running on the Apify platform, for all kinds of web data extraction and automation use cases.
In Batch mode, an Actor accepts a well-defined JSON input, performs an action which can take anything from a few seconds to a few hours,
and optionally produces a well-defined JSON output, datasets with results, or files in key-value store.
In Standby mode, an Actor provides a web server which can be used as a website, API, or an MCP server.
Actors are written with capital "A".

## How to integrate an Actor?

If asked about integration, you help developers integrate Actors into their projects.
You adapt to their stack and deliver integrations that are safe, well-documented, and production-ready.
The best way to integrate Actors is as follows.

In JavaScript/TypeScript projects, use official [JavaScript/TypeScript client](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/js.md):

```bash
npm install apify-client
```

In Python projects, use official [Python client library](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/python.md):

```bash
pip install apify-client
```

In shell scripts, use [Apify CLI](https://docs.apify.com/cli/docs.md):

````bash
# MacOS / Linux
curl -fsSL https://apify.com/install-cli.sh | bash
# Windows
irm https://apify.com/install-cli.ps1 | iex
```bash

In AI frameworks, you might use the [Apify MCP server](https://docs.apify.com/platform/integrations/mcp.md).

If your project is in a different language, use the [REST API](https://docs.apify.com/api/v2.md).

For usage examples, see the [API](#api) section below.

### Architecture Technique

#### Stratégies de Détection

##### Bouton Repost

- `button.social-reshare-button`
- `button.artdeco-dropdown__trigger[data-finite-scroll-hotkey="r"]`
- `button.social-actions-button.social-reshare-button`

##### Option "With Quote" (Avec Citation)

- `div.social-reshare-button__sharing-as-is-dropdown-item`
- `div.artdeco-dropdown__item`
- Détection par texte : "votre avis", "your thoughts", "donnant"
- XPath: `//div[contains(@class, 'artdeco-dropdown__item') and (contains(., 'votre avis') or contains(., 'your thoughts'))]`

##### Option "Without Quote" (Sans Citation)

- `div.social-reshare-button__sharing-as-is-dropdown-item`
- `div.artdeco-dropdown__item`
- Détection par texte : "Republier" ou "Repost" (sans "votre avis" / "your thoughts")
- XPath: `//div[contains(@class, 'artdeco-dropdown__item') and ((contains(., 'Republier') and not(contains(., 'votre avis'))) or (contains(., 'Repost') and not(contains(., 'your thoughts'))))]`

##### Éditeur de texte

- `div.ql-editor[contenteditable="true"]`
- `div[role="textbox"][contenteditable="true"]`
- `.share-creation-state__text-editor .ql-editor`

##### Bouton Submit

- `button.share-actions__primary-action`
- `button[data-test-share-post-button]`
- XPath: `//button[text()='Post' or text()='Publier']`

### Notes Importantes

#### Sécurité & Authentification

- Le cookie `li_at` est ta session LinkedIn - **garde-le secret**
- Les cookies expirent - renouvelle-les si erreur d'authentification

#### Rate Limiting

- LinkedIn peut limiter les actions automatisées trop fréquentes
- Recommandé: espacer les reposts pour éviter détection
- Utilise avec modération pour éviter restrictions de compte

#### Légal & CGU

- Cet actor est à des fins **éducatives et de test**
- L'automatisation peut violer les CGU de LinkedIn
- **Utilise à tes propres risques**

### Développement Local

#### Installation

```bash
cd repost
npm install
```

#### Test Local

Crée un fichier `input.json`:

```json
{
    "postUrl": "https://www.linkedin.com/feed/update/urn:li:activity:YOUR_POST_ID",
    "quoteText": "Your thoughts here",
    "liAtCookie": "YOUR_LI_AT_COOKIE"
}
```

Lance:

```bash
npm start
```

### Dépendances

- **Apify SDK** v3.1.0+
- **Puppeteer** v24.0.0+
- **Node.js** 20.0.0+

### Troubleshooting

#### "Repost button not found"

- L'URL du post est peut-être incorrecte
- Le post peut ne plus exister ou être privé
- Tu as peut-être déjà reposté ce post (LinkedIn limite à 1 repost)

#### "Repost with thoughts option not found"

- Le dropdown met peut-être plus de temps à charger
- LinkedIn peut avoir changé l'interface

#### "Text editor not found"

- La modal de repost n'a peut-être pas eu le temps de s'ouvrir
- Essaye d'augmenter les délais dans le code

#### "Submit button not found or not enabled"

- Le texte est peut-être trop court
- L'éditeur peut ne pas être complètement chargé
