The Actor behind the "Run on Apify" buttons in Python documentation, such as crawlee.dev/python and docs.apify.com. It takes a Python snippet as input and runs it, so a single Actor can execute code samples from both the Apify SDK and Crawlee.

Input

FieldTypeDescription
codestringPython code to execute. Must define a main function (sync or async).
{
"code":"async def main() -> None:\n print('Hello world!')\n"
}

If the snippet uses Actor, the runner hands over its own Actor context so the code can manage its lifecycle (SDK examples create their own context; Crawlee examples don't).

Run locally

This is a uv-managed project. You'll also need the Apify CLI.

uv sync
apify run -i'{"code": "async def main() -> None:\n print(\"hi\")\n"}'

Deploy to Apify

apify login # once, with your API token
apify push # build and deploy the Actor
