$ apify run [-p] [--purge-queue] [--purge-dataset] [--purge-key-value-store] [--entrypoint <value>] [-i
<value> | --input-file <value>]

-i, --input=<value> Optional JSON input to be given to the Actor.
-p, --purge Shortcut that combines the --purge-queue, --purge-dataset and --purge-key-value-store
options.
--entrypoint=<value> Optional entrypoint for running with injected environment variables.
For Python, it is the module name, or a path to a file.
For node.js, it is the npm script name, or a path to a JS/MJS file. You can also pass in
a directory name, provided that directory contains an "index.js" file.
--input-file=<value> Optional path to a file with JSON input to be given to the Actor. The file must be a
valid JSON file. You can also specify `-` to read from standard input.
--purge-dataset Deletes the local directory containing the default dataset before the run starts.
--purge-key-value-store Deletes all records from the default key-value store in the local directory before the
run starts, except for the "INPUT" key.
--purge-queue Deletes the local directory containing the default request queue before the run starts.
DESCRIPTION
Executes Actor locally with simulated Apify environment variables.
Stores data in local 'storage' directory.
NOTE: For Node.js Actors, customize behavior by modifying the 'start' script in package.json file.
