What it does
Apify Hello World is an agent skill from jeremylongshore/tons-of-skills-marketplace. Run your first Apify Actor and retrieve results via apify-client. Use when starting a new Apify integration, testing connectivity, or learning the Actor call/dataset retrieval pattern. Trigger with "apify hello world", "apify example", "run an apify actor", "apify quick start", "first apify scrape".
Its SKILL.md is about 1.3k tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 3 other files, including reference files (for example `references/examples.md` and `references/patterns.md`). Compatibility notes: Designed for Claude Code
It sits in Data & Analytics, covering Web scraping. It works with Apify. The repository describes itself as: Model-agnostic agent-skills platform with a harness-free canonical layer, verified adapters, and the ccpi package manager. Explore at tonsofskills.com. The licence is MIT.

- Learning the Actor call/dataset retrieval pattern
- With apify hello world
Example prompts
- “apify hello world”
- “apify example”
- “run an apify actor”
- “/apify-hello-world”
Requirements
- Node.js
- A credential in APIFY_TOKEN
- Compatibility (from SKILL.md): Designed for Claude Code
- Pre-approved tools (allowed-tools): Read, Write, Edit, Bash(npm:*), Bash(npx:*), Bash(node:*)
Workflow steps
3 steps, taken from the step headings in SKILL.md.
What it can do on your machine
Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit cfae287. It shows what the files ask for, not the result of running them.
Tool permissions
Pre-approves these tools, so the agent can use them without asking each time:
ReadWriteEditBash(npm:*)Bash(npx:*)Bash(node:*)
From allowed-tools in the SKILL.md frontmatter.
Runs code
Shell commands in SKILL.md call:
npxnodenpm
From the folder's file list and the shell code blocks in SKILL.md.
Network
Hosts in commands or code, which the agent is likely to contact:
docs.apify.com
Also links to:
apify.com
From URLs in SKILL.md, links to its own repository left out.
Credentials
Names these keys or tokens, usually read from environment variables:
APIFY_TOKEN
From names ending in _API_KEY, _TOKEN, _SECRET, _KEY or _PASSWORD in SKILL.md.
Compatibility
Designed for Claude Code
From compatibility in the SKILL.md frontmatter.
Context cost
Apify Hello World loads about 1.3k tokens when it runs, and up to ~2.5k if it reads all its reference files. Until then it costs about 80 tokens; SKILL.md has 460 words of instructions outside code blocks.
Estimates: characters ÷ 4, the usual rule of thumb; real counts depend on the model's tokenizer. Scripts and assets cost tokens only if the agent reads them.
Safety
Auto-check passed
The automated check found no risky patterns in SKILL.md.
Automated static check — not a guarantee. Review scripts before installing. It scans the text of SKILL.md for risky patterns (piping downloads into a shell, reading credential files, hidden Unicode, destructive commands); files beside SKILL.md are not scanned.

Apify Hello World
Overview
Run a public Actor from the Apify Store, wait for it to finish, and retrieve the scraped data. This demonstrates the fundamental call-wait-collect pattern used in every Apify integration.
Prerequisites
npm install apify-clientcompletedAPIFY_TOKENenvironment variable set- See
apify-install-authif not ready
Authentication
Every call authenticates with a personal API token passed to the client
constructor: new ApifyClient({ token: process.env.APIFY_TOKEN }). Keep the
token in the APIFY_TOKEN environment variable — never hard-code it in the
script. Full setup (where to generate the token, how to export it) lives in the
apify-install-auth skill.
Core Pattern: Call Actor, Get Data
import { ApifyClient } from 'apify-client';
const client = new ApifyClient({ token: process.env.APIFY_TOKEN });
// 1. Run an Actor and wait for it to finish
const run = await client.actor('apify/website-content-crawler').call({
startUrls: [{ url: 'https://docs.apify.com/academy' }],
maxCrawlPages: 5,
});
// 2. Retrieve results from the default dataset
const { items } = await client.dataset(run.defaultDatasetId).listItems();
console.log(`Crawled ${items.length} pages:`);
items.forEach(item => {
console.log(` - ${item.url}: ${item.text?.substring(0, 80)}...`);
});This is the whole workflow at a high level: authenticate, .call() an Actor,
then read its default dataset. For sync-vs-async execution, pagination,
downloads, key-value store retrieval, run-configuration options, and a table of
popular starter Actors, see run & retrieval patterns.
Instructions
Step 1: Create the Script
Use Write (or Edit an existing file) to create hello-apify.ts (or .js) with
the Core Pattern code above. Use Read to confirm the file contents before running.
Step 2: Run It
# With tsx (recommended)
npx tsx hello-apify.ts
# Or with Node.js (plain JS)
node hello-apify.jsStep 3: Understand the Output
The Actor runs on Apify's cloud infrastructure. See the Output section below for the run-object fields returned when it finishes.
Output
A successful run returns a run object plus a populated dataset. The fields you read most:
| Field | Meaning |
|---|---|
run.id | Unique run identifier |
run.status | SUCCEEDED, FAILED, TIMED-OUT, or ABORTED |
run.defaultDatasetId | ID of the dataset containing scrape results |
run.defaultKeyValueStoreId | ID of the KV store with metadata/artifacts |
run.statusMessage | Human-readable detail (essential when status is not SUCCEEDED) |
client.dataset(run.defaultDatasetId).listItems() returns { items }, where
each item is one scraped record (shape depends on the Actor). Always branch on
run.status before reading the dataset — a FAILED run can leave an empty or
partial dataset. See worked examples for the full
run-object breakdown.
Show full SKILL.md (163 more words)Show less
Error Handling
| Error | Cause | Solution |
|---|---|---|
Actor not found | Wrong Actor ID | Check ID at apify.com/store |
run.status === 'FAILED' | Actor crashed | Check run.statusMessage for details |
run.status === 'TIMED-OUT' | Exceeded timeout | Increase timeout or reduce workload |
Dataset is empty | Actor produced no output | Verify input parameters; check Actor logs |
402 Payment Required | Insufficient compute units — Apify returns HTTP 402 when your account is out of prepaid units | Top up at console.apify.com/billing |
Examples
Minimal happy-path collection — call an Actor and count the results:
const run = await client.actor('apify/website-content-crawler').call({
startUrls: [{ url: 'https://example.com' }],
maxCrawlPages: 10,
});
const { items } = await client.dataset(run.defaultDatasetId).listItems();
console.log(`Scraped ${items.length} pages`);For the complete status-guarded "scrape and save to JSON" script and a full breakdown of the run object, see worked examples.

Next Steps
Once your first Actor run succeeds, proceed to the apify-local-dev-loop skill
to build and iterate on your own Actor locally, then deploy it back to the Apify
platform. That skill covers the develop-run-debug cycle in depth.
