Apify Integration Development

Design and build an official Apify integration for a company's product, with minimal help from Apify. This skill covers every integration shape Apify supports - workflow-automation apps, AI agent plugins (coding agents and harnesses), AI framework packages, and direct application clients - so a partner team can ship a first-class Apify integration end to end. The cross-cutting rules below apply to all of them, and one category-specific reference file carries the rest.

Building an official integration? Once you publish it, contact integrations@apify.com so the Apify team can review, test, and validate your integration before it reaches users. We'll check the capability surface, cost controls, error handling, and attribution headers, and help you close any gaps.
