Events

Documentation of Apify webhooks system that enables integration of multiple actors or external systems.

An event is represented by a type and related data. The type is a string that shows the event's name and its hierarchy in the tree of available events, e.g.: ACTOR.RUN.SUCCEEDED. The data are an Object with variable properties. See documentation of individual events for examples of data.

Currently, webhooks are only available for actor run events, with new types in the pipeline.

Actor run

Actor run events are triggered when an actor run gets created or transitions into a new state. Webhook can be defined for all runs of an actor at its detail page or for a specific actor task at its detail page. In that case, the webhook is invoked only for runs started for that task.

Event types:

  • ACTOR.RUN.CREATED - New actor run has been created.
  • ACTOR.RUN.SUCCEEDED - Actor run finished with status SUCCEEDED.
  • ACTOR.RUN.FAILED - Actor run finished with status FAILED.
  • ACTOR.RUN.ABORTED - Actor run finished with status ABORTED.
  • ACTOR.RUN.TIMED_OUT - Actor run finished with status TIMED-OUT.

Event data:

{
    "actorId": "ID of the triggering actor.",
    "actorTaskId": "If task was used, its ID.",
    "actorRunId": "ID of the triggering actor run.",
}
