What it does
Your existing script or project, made ready to run as an Apify Actor so it can run in the cloud, take input from a form and give back structured results. You need an Apify account. The skill follows an eight step list. It studies your project to find the language, entry point, inputs and outputs. It runs the Apify init command to create the Actor folders, then wraps your code with the Apify SDK start and finish steps in your language. It writes an input schema, an output schema if useful, and the metadata file. Then it tests locally with a sample input and pushes the Actor to Apify. It works for scripts, command line tools and Crawlee projects.
