README
A Laravel package for integrating with the Apify web scraping and automation platform.
Installation
Install the package via Composer:
composer require flatroy/laravel-apify
The package will automatically register its service provider and facade.
Configuration
Publish the configuration file:
php artisan vendor:publish --tag=apify-config
Add your Apify API token to your .env
file:
APIFY_API_TOKEN=your_apify_api_token_here
You can find your API token in your Apify account settings.
Usage
Using the Facade
use Apify\Laravel\Facades\Apify; // Run an actor $result = Apify::runActor('actor-id', [ 'url' => 'https://example.com' ], [ 'waitForFinish' => 60 ]); // Get dataset results $data = Apify::getDataset('dataset-id'); // Get user information $user = Apify::getUser();
Using Dependency Injection
use Apify\Laravel\ApifyClient; class ScrapingService { public function __construct(private ApifyClient $apify) { } public function scrapeWebsite(string $url): array { return $this->apify->runActor('web-scraper', [ 'url' => $url ]); } }
Available Methods
Running Actors
// Run an actor and wait for completion $result = Apify::runActor('actor-id', $input, [ 'waitForFinish' => 60, // seconds 'memory' => 512, // MB ]); // Run without waiting $result = Apify::runActor('actor-id', $input, [ 'waitForFinish' => 0 ]);
Working with Datasets
// Get all items from a dataset $items = Apify::getDataset('dataset-id'); // Get items with pagination $items = Apify::getDataset('dataset-id', [ 'limit' => 100, 'offset' => 200 ]); // Get specific fields only $items = Apify::getDataset('dataset-id', [ 'fields' => ['title', 'url', 'price'] ]);
Key-Value Stores
// Get a record from key-value store $record = Apify::getKeyValueStore('store-id', 'record-key'); // Set a record in key-value store Apify::setKeyValueStore('store-id', 'record-key', [ 'data' => 'value' ]); // Store binary data Apify::setKeyValueStore('store-id', 'image.jpg', $binaryData, 'image/jpeg');
Actor Runs Management
// Get actor run details $run = Apify::getActorRun('run-id'); // Abort a running actor $result = Apify::abortActorRun('run-id');
Listing Actors
// List all available actors $actors = Apify::listActors(); // List only your actors $myActors = Apify::listActors(['my' => true]); // Paginated listing $actors = Apify::listActors([ 'limit' => 50, 'offset' => 100 ]);
Error Handling
The package throws ApifyException
for API errors:
use Apify\Laravel\ApifyException; try { $result = Apify::runActor('invalid-actor-id'); } catch (ApifyException $e) { Log::error('Apify error: ' . $e->getMessage()); }
