# Export Apify Datasets to Wasabi Cloud Storage

**Use case:** 

Preview Apify dataset exports to Wasabi Cloud Storage in JSONL format. Generate sample export files and a manifest without cloud credentials using dry-run mode. Ideal for testing S3-compatible cloud backups, data archival, and automated ETL workflows.

## About this Actor

This example demonstrates how to use [Multi-Cloud Dataset Exporter — S3, R2, B2 & Wasabi](https://apify.com/optirefine/multicloud-dataset-exporter.md) with a specific input configuration.

## How to integrate an Actor?

This Task's input is already configured above. Use it as-is rather than inventing a new one.

Do not guess an integration path. Every one of them is in the agent quickstart at https://apify.com/agents.md: the Apify MCP server, Agent Skills with the Apify CLI, the JavaScript and Python clients, the REST API, and the account-free path for an agent with no human to sign in. It also carries the rule on stating cost before the first paid run.

For full API examples (JavaScript, Python, CLI, MCP, OpenAPI), see this Task's Actor page: https://apify.com/optirefine/multicloud-dataset-exporter.md

Each client library has reference documentation the quickstart does not restate: [JavaScript/TypeScript](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/js/docs.md) (`npm install apify-client`) and [Python](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/python/docs.md) (`pip install apify-client`).
