Apify Sdk Integration

If you're building a product that needs web scraping or automation, this walks you through integrating Apify into your existing JavaScript, TypeScript, or Python app using the apify-client package. The key thing it hammers home is package naming: apify-client is for calling Actors from your app, while apify is for building Actors, and mixing them up is the most common mistake. You'll learn synchronous versus asynchronous execution patterns, how to pull results from datasets, and how to handle errors when runs fail. It also covers the REST API for other languages and includes real code samples for common scenarios like waiting for long-running scrapes or paginating through large result sets.
