Apify Hello World

Overview

Run a public Actor from the Apify Store, wait for it to finish, and retrieve the scraped data. This demonstrates the fundamental call-wait-collect pattern used in every Apify integration.

Prerequisites

• npm install apify-client completed
• APIFY_TOKEN environment variable set
• See apify-install-auth if not ready

Authentication

Every call authenticates with a personal API token passed to the client constructor: new ApifyClient({ token: process.env.APIFY_TOKEN }). Keep the token in the APIFY_TOKEN environment variable — never hard-code it in the script. Full setup (where to generate the token, how to export it) lives in the apify-install-auth skill.
