Apify
The Apify API with a personal token: start an Actor, wait for the run, then page through its dataset. Good for public web data you cannot get through an API.
Connected once, used everywhere.
Connections are declared in your repository and authorised in the console. The credentials stay with the platform; apps, pipelines, workflows and the agent use them under the same roles.

What the connection reaches
- Actors and their runs
- Datasets of finished runs
- Callable from pipelines and from ontology actions
- Status
- Built into the pipeline SDK
- Connection class
- ApifyConnection
- Credential
- API token
- In use
- In use at SegmentStream HQ, our own workspace.
Connect Apify
Three steps, the same for every connection. The credential goes to the platform, never into the repository or pipeline code.
- 1
Declare it in connections/connections.py
connections/connections.py from segmentstream.connections import ApifyConnection connections = ( ApifyConnection(key="apify"),) - 2
Deploy
$ segmentstream deploy - 3
Connect
Paste the API token (Apify Console > Settings > API & Integrations) into the connection in the console, or configure it from the terminal with a hidden prompt. API-key connections need no authorisation step: once the value is set, the connection is connected.
$ segmentstream connection configure apify
Use it
Code asks for the connection by its key. The platform adds the credential on the way out.
import segmentstream as s with s.get_connection("apify").get_http_client() as client: response = client.post("/actors/apify~website-content-crawler/runs", json=actor_input) response.raise_for_status()Or ask your agent
“Run the website crawler on our competitors' pricing pages every Monday.”
