Actor picture

Example Call

apify/example-call

A simple example showing how to call another actor from an actor. Note that this actor doesn't accept any input and doesn't generate any output.

To run the actor, you'll need an Apify account. Simply create a new task for the actor by clicking the button below, modify the actor input configuration, click Run and get your results.

API

To run the actor from your code, send a HTTP POST request to the following API endpoint:

https://api.apify.com/v2/acts/apify~example-call/runs?token=<YOUR_API_TOKEN>

The POST payload including its Content-Type header is passed as INPUT to the actor (usually application/json). The actor is started with the default options; you can override them using various URL query parameters.

To use the API, you'll need to replace <YOUR_API_TOKEN> with the API token of your Apify account (view here).

For more information, view the list of actor's API endpoints or the full API reference.
