Apify Actorization

apify/agent-skillsOfficial

Converts existing JavaScript, Python, or CLI projects into Apify Actors by wrapping your code with the proper SDK lifecycle calls and generating the required `.actor/` configuration files. Handles the tedious setup work of adding `Actor.init()` and `Actor.exit()` patterns, creating input schemas, and configuring Docker containers. Most useful when you have working scraping or automation code that you want to deploy on Apify's serverless platform. The security guidance around sanitizing crawled data is solid, and the monetization setup with pay-per-event charging is straightforward once deployed.

Apify Actorization

Actorization converts existing software into reusable serverless applications compatible with the Apify platform. Actors are programs packaged as Docker images that accept well-defined JSON input, perform an action, and optionally produce structured JSON output.

Quick start

  1. Run apify init <actor-name> --user-agent apify-agent-skills/apify-actorization in project root
  2. Create a Dockerfile for the project's language
  3. Wrap code with SDK lifecycle (see language-specific section below)
  4. Configure .actor/input_schema.json
  5. Test with apify run --input '{"key": "value"}' --user-agent apify-agent-skills/apify-actorization
  6. Deploy with apify push --user-agent apify-agent-skills/apify-actorization

When to use this skill

  • Converting an existing project to run on the Apify platform
  • Adding Apify SDK integration to a project
  • Wrapping a CLI tool or script as an Actor
  • Migrating a Crawlee project to Apify

Prerequisites

Verify apify CLI is installed:

apify --help
