2. Install the client and set the token:

   pip install -r requirements.txt
   export APIFY_TOKEN=your_token          # Windows PowerShell: $env:APIFY_TOKEN="your_token"

Pricing

All Actors are pay per result: you pay a fraction of a cent per item (term, article, ad, document, domain, video or audio minute), and failed or empty items are not charged. Apify's free plan includes monthly credits, enough to try every example. Exact prices are on each Actor's page.

Support
