Setup

1. Create an Apify account: Sign up at https://console.apify.com - the free plan includes monthly platform credits, enough for testing small actor runs.
2. Copy your API token: In the Apify Console go to Settings → API & Integrations (https://console.apify.com/settings/integrations) and copy your personal API token (apify_api_…).
3. Store the token: Add it to your .env file as APIFY_TOKEN=apify_api_…
4. Verify access: Run the List Actors tool. To run a store actor you have not used before, reference it as usernameactorname (e.g. apifyweb-scraper) - each actor’s input schema is on its store page.

​

Provider notes

• Actor runs consume platform credits based on compute, memory, and storage - check the actor’s pricing on the Apify Store
• Run Actor (Sync) waits up to 300 seconds; for longer scrapes start the run asynchronously in the Apify Console and fetch results with Get Dataset Items
• Responses are wrapped in a ‘data’ property; dataset item responses are plain arrays

Verify the connection

Call a read tool such as apify__list_actors with arguments for your account. Confirm that the result comes from the intended account or workspace before enabling write tools.
