Share Your Apify Actors as Branded Web Apps (Without Leaking Your API Token!)

Description and use

Generate a branded web app for an Apify Actor in minutes, keeping the API token hidden and simplifying user interaction.

Problem

Developers struggle to share Apify Actors with non‑technical users without exposing API tokens or building custom front‑ends.

Outcome

Clients and team members can run complex Actors via a clean, branded web interface, view live progress, preview results, and download data—all without exposing credentials or writing frontend code.

Workflow

• Deploy the ActorWebApp (solutionssmart/actorwebapp) to your Apify account and enable Standby mode.
• Configure the target Actor by setting its actorId in the username/actor-name format.
• Customize branding, input, and output settings via the Apify Console or JSON configuration.
• Copy the shareable Standby URL and send it to clients or teammates. They can run the Actor through the branded form without seeing technical details.

Evidence

ActorWebApp acts as an instant UI proxy. It reads your target Actor's default‑build input schema and automatically generates a matching web form.

Source

Your APIFY_TOKEN is kept securely on the server‑side and is never sent to the end user's browser.

Go to the Standby tab in your Apify Console, copy the shareable Standby URL, and send it to your team or clients.
