Run actor
Run an Apify actor synchronously and return its output.
Run an Apify actor synchronously and return its output.
Trigger any Apify actor and get its results back in the same step. The actor runs with your provided input and returns its output as soon as it finishes - no separate polling step needed. The run timeout is 300 seconds maximum.
This works with any actor on the Apify platform. Provide the actor ID (found on the Apify Store or in your console) and the input JSON specific to that actor. The output structure will vary depending on which actor you run - check the actor's documentation for expected output format.
Best for actors that complete quickly - scrapers for single pages, email finders, data lookups, and similar short-running tasks. For actors that scrape thousands of pages or take longer than 5 minutes, use the async Run endpoint and retrieve results separately via the Get Dataset Items connector.
