Token cost

What it costs to keep this loaded

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.

Security

Grade A, and why

apify-scraping scanned grade A with 0 findings against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured 4d ago.

A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

Nothing flagged

None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.

Apify Scraping — Usage Guide

You have full access to the Apify platform through 27 MCP tools. Use this guide to pick the right workflow.

Common Workflows

1. Scrape a Website (Quick)

For fast, one-off scrapes where you need results immediately:

1. apify_run_actor_sync  →  pass actor_id + input, get dataset items back directly

Best for: small jobs that finish in under 5 minutes. Timeout is 300s.

2. Scrape a Website (Large / Long-running)

For bigger jobs that may take longer:

1. apify_run_actor        →  start the run (returns run ID + dataset ID)
2. apify_get_run           →  poll status until SUCCEEDED
3. apify_get_dataset_items →  retrieve results using defaultDatasetId

3. Find the Right Actor

If you don't know which Actor to use:

1. apify_list_actors (my=false)  →  browse available Actors
2. apify_get_actor               →  check details, input schema, example input
3. Then run it with apify_run_actor or apify_run_actor_sync

Popular Actors to know:

  • apify/web-scraper — General-purpose web scraper
  • apify/cheerio-scraper — Fast HTML scraper (no browser)
  • apify/puppeteer-scraper — Browser-based scraper for JS-heavy sites
  • apify/playwright-scraper — Modern browser scraper
  • apify/instagram-scraper, apify/twitter-scraper, apify/google-search-scraper — Social/search

4. Debug a Failed Run

1. apify_get_run      →  check status + error message
2. apify_get_run_log  →  read console output for details
3. apify_resurrect_run →  retry from where it stopped (if applicable)

5. Schedule Recurring Scrapes

1. apify_create_schedule  →  set cron expression + Actor ID
2. apify_list_schedules   →  verify it's active

6. Set Up Webhook Notifications

1. apify_create_webhook  →  specify URL + event types (e.g. ACTOR.RUN.SUCCEEDED)
2. apify_list_webhooks   →  verify configuration

7. Work with Saved Tasks

Tasks are pre-configured Actor runs with saved inputs:

1. apify_list_tasks  →  see available tasks
2. apify_run_task    →  run with optional input override

What this file has done since we first saw it

Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.
