Apify CLI Reference Documentation

The Apify CLI provides tools for managing your Apify projects and resources from the command line. Use these commands to develop Actors locally, deploy them to Apify platform, manage storage, orchestrate runs, and handle account configuration.

This reference guide documents available commands, their options, and common usage patterns, to efficiently work with Apify platform.

General​

The general commands provide basic functionality for getting help and information about the Apify CLI.

Authentication & Account Management​

Use these commands to manage your Apify account authentication, access tokens, and configuration settings. These commands control how you interact with Apify platform and manage sensitive information.

apify login​
DESCRIPTION
  Authenticates your Apify account and saves credentials to '~/.apify'.
  All other commands use these stored credentials.

  Run 'apify logout' to remove authentication.

USAGE
  $ apify login [-m console|manual] [-t <value>]

FLAGS
  -m, --method=<option>  [Optional] Method of logging in to Apify
                         <options: console|manual>
  -t, --token=<value>    [Optional] Apify API token
apify logout​
DESCRIPTION
  Removes authentication by deleting your API token and account information from '~/.apify'.
  Run 'apify login' to authenticate again.

USAGE
  $ apify logout
apify info​
DESCRIPTION
  Prints details about your currently authenticated Apify account.

USAGE
  $ apify info
apify secrets​
DESCRIPTION
  Manages secure environment variables for Actors.

  Example:
  $ apify secrets add mySecret TopSecretValue123

  The "mySecret" value can be used in an environment variable defined in '.actor/actor.json' file by adding the "@"
  prefix:

  {
    "actorSpecification": 1,
    "name": "my_actor",
    "environmentVariables": { "SECRET_ENV_VAR": "@mySecret" },
    "version": "0.1"
  }

  When the Actor is pushed to Apify cloud, the "SECRET_ENV_VAR" and its value is stored as a secret environment variable
  of the Actor.

SUBCOMMANDS
  secrets add  Adds a new secret to '~/.apify' for use in Actor environment variables.
  secrets rm   Permanently deletes a secret from your stored credentials.
apify secrets add​
DESCRIPTION
  Adds a new secret to '~/.apify' for use in Actor environment variables.

USAGE
  $ apify add <name> <value>

ARGUMENTS

DESCRIPTION
  Permanently deletes a secret from your stored credentials.

USAGE
