Create, modify, debug, and deploy Apify Actors, and write their input and output schemas. Use when building an Actor from scratch, changing or troubleshooting Actor code, generating or updating .actor schema files, or pushing an Actor to the Apify platform. To wrap an existing non-Actor project, use apify-actorization instead.
