Run locally

This is a uv-managed project. You'll also need the Apify CLI.

uv sync                # install dependencies into .venv/
apify run --purge      # run as an Apify Actor (reads local INPUT.json)

It also still runs as a plain Scrapy project:

$uv run scrapy crawl book_spider -o books.json

Deploy to Apify

apify login            # once, with your API token
apify push             # build and deploy the Actor

Find your deployed Actor under Actors → My Actors.
