Actor Build Starter

Try for free

Developed by

Francisco Villarreal

Run builds for multiple actors in your account simultaneously. This can be useful when many actors in a given project have been updated. For example, the documentation might have been updated in 50 actors. This tool will help you trigger actor builds for all 50 at once.

Dockerfile

# First, specify the base Docker image. You can read more about
# the available images at https://sdk.apify.com/docs/guides/docker-images
# You can also use any other image from Docker Hub.
FROM apify/actor-node:16

# Second, copy just package.json and package-lock.json since it should be
# the only file that affects "npm install" in the next step, to speed up the build
COPY package*.json ./

# Install NPM packages, skip optional and development dependencies to
# keep the image small. Avoid logging too much and print the dependency
# tree for debugging
RUN npm --quiet set progress=false \
 && npm install --only=prod --no-optional \
 && echo "Installed NPM packages:" \
 && (npm list --all || true) \
 && echo "Node.js version:" \
 && node --version \
 && echo "NPM version:" \
 && npm --version

# Next, copy the remaining files and directories with the source code.
# Since we do this after NPM install, quick build will be really fast
# for most source file changes.
COPY . ./

# Optionally, specify how to launch the source code of your actor.
# By default, Apify's base Docker images define the CMD instruction
# that runs the Node.js source code using the command specified
# in the "scripts.start" section of the package.json file.
# In short, the instruction looks something like this:
#
# CMD npm start

Delete Builds

useful-tools/delete-builds

Actor that deletes untagged builds of other actors on Apify platform.

Useful tools

Apify Actors

prog-party/apify-actors

This Apify Actors Actor retrieves data from Apify, allowing to filter, and returns a list of actors as a Dataset.

Prog Party

Abort Actor Runs

mnmkng/abort-actor-runs

This actor enables the aborting of all user's running actors with a single click or by a single API call. Scans all actors of the user, aborts all RUNNING and READY actors. It is set to minimize compute unit usage at the expense of speed. Scans the user's actors sequentially to prevent API abuse.

Apify Store Actor Scraper

scraped/apify-store-actor-scraper

This actor scrapes actors from the Apify Store, extracting key data such as title, name, username, usage statistics (runs, users, builds), categories, description, success/failure counts, pricing, and developer info.

Rebuilder

mnmkng/rebuilder

Rebuild your actors easily with a simple regular expression. This actor will fetch all your existing actors and match their names. Those that pass will be rebuilt. Schedule this for maximum effectiveness. It can also rebuild itself!

Apify Store Scraper

yourapiservice/apify-store-scraper

Scrape Actors/APIs from Apify Store to extract titles, descriptions, stats (runs, builds, users over 7, 30, 90 days), images, and pricing information. Ideal for market research and performance analysis.
