Apify
The Apify API with a personal token: start an Actor, wait for the run, then page through its dataset. Good for public web data you cannot get through an API.
What the connection reaches
- Actors and their runs
- Datasets of finished runs
- Callable from pipelines and from ontology actions
- Status
- Built into the pipeline SDK
- Connection class
- ApifyConnection
- Credential
- API token
- In use
- In use at SegmentStream HQ, our own workspace.
Connect Apify
Three steps, the same for every connection. The credential goes to the platform, never into the repository or pipeline code.
- 1
Declare it in connections/connections.py
connections/connections.py from segmentstream.connections import ApifyConnection connections = ( ApifyConnection(key="apify"),) - 2
Deploy
$ segmentstream deploy - 3
Connect
Paste the API token (Apify Console > Settings > API & Integrations) into the connection in the console, or configure it from the terminal with a hidden prompt. API-key connections need no authorisation step: once the value is set, the connection is connected.
$ segmentstream connection configure apify
Use it
Code asks for the connection by its key. The platform adds the credential on the way out.
import segmentstream as s with s.get_connection("apify").get_http_client() as client: response = client.post("/actors/apify~website-content-crawler/runs", json=actor_input) response.raise_for_status()Or ask your agent
“Run the website crawler on our competitors' pricing pages every Monday.”
