---# Apify Actorization
Actorization converts existing software into reusable serverless applications compatible with the Apify platform. Actors are programs packaged as Docker images that accept well-defined JSON input, perform an action, and optionally produce structured JSON output.
## Quick Start
1. Run `apify init` in project root
2. Wrap code with SDK lifecycle (see language-specific section below)
3. Configure `.actor/input_schema.json`
4. Test with `apify run --input '{"key": "value"}'`
5. Deploy with `apify push`
## When to Use This Skill
- Converting an existing project to run on Apify platform
- Adding Apify SDK integration to a project
- Wrapping a CLI tool or script as an Actor
- Migrating a Crawlee project to Apify
## Prerequisites
Verify `apify` CLI is installed:
```bash
# Or install from an official release package that your OS package manager verifies
```
Verify CLI is logged in:
```bash
apify info # Should return your username
```
If not logged in, check if `APIFY_TOKEN` environment variable is defined. If not, ask the user to generate one at https://console.apify.com/settings/integrations, add it to their shell or secret manager without putting the literal token in command history, then run:
