How do I find the correct input fields for a specific Actor?

You can use the APIFY_GET_ACTOR tool to inspect the specific input schema and metadata for any Actor directly within the Claude interface.

Do I need an Apify account to use this skill?

Yes, you need an active Apify account and must connect it via the Composio MCP server when prompted during the setup process.

Can I run long scraping jobs without timing out?

Yes, you can use the asynchronous execution tool (APIFY_RUN_ACTOR) for long-running jobs and retrieve results later using the specific dataset ID.

What data formats are supported for extraction?

The skill supports JSON, CSV, XLSX, XML, and HTML, though JSON is highly recommended for the best compatibility with AI-driven automated workflows.
