apify-actorization
Convert existing projects into serverless Apify Actors with language-specific SDK integration.
- Supports JavaScript/TypeScript (with
Actor.init()/Actor.exit()), Python (async context manager), and any language via CLI wrapper - Provides structured workflow:
apify initto scaffold, apply SDK wrapping, configure input/output schemas, test locally withapify run, then deploy withapify push - Includes input and output schema validation, Docker containerization, and optional pay-per-event monetization configuration
- Handles state management through request queues and key-value stores; requires
apifyCLI installed and authenticated with an Apify account token
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
- Run
apify initin project root - Wrap code with SDK lifecycle (see language-specific section below)
- Configure
.actor/input_schema.json - Test with
apify run --input '{"key": "value"}' - Deploy with
apify push
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
