Example prompts

Prompts this skill handles:

Prerequisites

Workflow

  1. REPLACE: Understand the user's goal, pick the right Actor(s).
  2. REPLACE: Fetch the Actor's input schema, build a valid input.
  3. REPLACE: Run the Actor, confirm with user if estimated cost is significant.
  4. REPLACE: Deliver results (count, format, link to dataset/console).

Calling Actors — choose your interface

Skills in this repo can call Actors via any of these interfaces. Pick the one that fits your runtime; cross-tool compatibility is your responsibility.

Option A: Apify CLI (recommended for portability)

Works in any shell-capable agent. Three flags on every call:

apify actors call "ACTOR_ID" -i 'JSON_INPUT' \
  --json \
  --user-agent apify-awesome-skills/REPLACE-skill-name \
  2>/dev/null
FlagWhy
--jsonStable machine-readable output
--user-agentApify telemetry attribution
2>/dev/nullSuppress progress messages that break JSON

Other useful commands:

# Search Actors
apify actors search "KEYWORDS" --json --limit 10 \
  --user-agent apify-awesome-skills/REPLACE-skill-name 2>/dev/null

# Fetch Actor schema
apify actors info "ACTOR_ID" --input --json \
  --user-agent apify-awesome-skills/REPLACE-skill-name 2>/dev/null

# Fetch results
apify datasets get-items DATASET_ID --format json \
  --user-agent apify-awesome-skills/REPLACE-skill-name 2>/dev/null

For the canonical command set with all flags, see apify/agent-skills ultimate-scraper.

Option B: Apify MCP connector

Hosted MCP server at https://mcp.apify.com. Documented at https://docs.apify.com/platform/integrations/mcp.

Option C: MCP client of your choice (e.g. mcpc)

Standalone CLI client. See https://github.com/apify/mcpc.
