apify_run_actor
Pack: apify · Endpoint: https://gateway.pipeworx.io/apify/mcp
Run an Apify Actor (a cloud scraping/automation program) and get its dataset results in a single blocking call. The run is capped at 300 seconds. Pass the Actor input as an input object — its shape depends on the Actor. Example: apify_run_actor({ actorId: “apify~web-scraper”, input: { startUrls: [{ url: “https://example.com” }] }, _apiKey: “your-token” }). Browse Actors at https://apify.com/store.
