Getting started
For complete information see this article. In short, you will:
- Build the Actor
- Run the Actor
Pull the Actor for local development
If you would like to develop locally, you can pull the existing Actor from Apify console using Apify CLI:
-
Install
apify-cliUsing Homebrew
$brew install apify-cliUsing NPM
$npm -g install apify-cli -
Pull the Actor by its unique
<ActorId>, which is one of the following:- unique name of the Actor to pull (e.g. "apify/hello-world")
- or ID of the Actor to pull (e.g. "E2jjCZBezvAZnX8Rb")
You can find both by clicking on the Actor title at the top of the page, which will open a modal containing both Actor unique name and Actor ID.
This command will copy the Actor into the current directory on your local machine.
$apify pull <ActorId>
