# Apify Deploy Integration ## Overview Deploy Actors to the Apify platform and integrate their results into external applications. Covers `apify push` deployment, API-triggered runs from web apps, scheduled scraping with data pipelines, and platform-specific integration patterns. ## Prerequisites - Actor tested locally (`apify run`) - `apify login` completed - Target application ready for integration ## Instructions ### Step 1: Deploy Actor to Platform ```bash # Push Actor code to Apify apify push # Push to a specific Actor (creates if doesn't exist) apify push username/my-scraper # Pull an existing Actor to modify apify pull username/existing-actor ``` ### Step 2: Integrate with a Web Application The most common pattern: trigger an Actor from your app and consume results. ```typescript // src/services/apify.ts import { ApifyClient } from 'apify-client'; const client = new ApifyClient({ token: process.env.APIFY_TOKEN }); interface ScrapeResult { url: string; title: string; price: number; inStock: boolean; } /** * Run a scraping Actor and return typed results. * Blocks until the Actor finishes (synchronous pattern). */ export async function scrapeProducts(urls: string[]): Promise<ScrapeResult[]> { const run = await client.actor('username/product-scraper').call({ startUrls: urls.map(url => ({ url })), maxItems: 500, }, { memory: 2048, timeout: 600, // 10 minutes }); if (run.status !== 'SUCCEEDED') { throw new Error(`Scrape...
