Apify Actor Development Kit

SkillWeb & browsing

This skill lets your AI build Apify Actors, which are scrapers designed to collect web data at scale in the cloud. It uses the Apify SDK and the Crawlee library, so the scrapers it builds get automatic proxy management and built-in storage. Once added, your AI can turn a scraping task into a working cloud project.

Available today. Use it from your connected AI after setup.

Add the skill and describe the website or data you want to collect; your AI will build an Apify Actor for the job. You can review the code at github.com/agentskillexchange/skills.
