About:
The Apify CLI is a powerful command-line tool designed to manage and run web scraping and automation tasks on the Apify platform. It enables developers to run Actors, manage datasets, and orchestrate cloud-based scraping workflows directly from their terminal. This tool streamlines the development and deployment process for complex web automation projects.
Key Features:
  • Run and manage Apify Actors from the command line
  • Initialize and develop new Actor projects using templates
  • Push and deploy code to the Apify Cloud platform
  • Manage and interact with datasets, key-value stores, and task queues
Use Cases:
  • Developing and testing web scraping automation scripts locally
  • Deploying and scheduling scraping tasks on the Apify platform
  • Integrating Apify workflows into CI/CD pipelines
Alternatives:
  • playwright-cli – Focuses on browser automation and testing, whereas Apify CLI is a management client for a specific cloud scraping platform.
  • puppeteer-cli – A lower-level tool for controlling headless browsers, lacking the cloud orchestration and data management features of Apify CLI.
