Spawn Workers

This actor lets you spawn tasks or other actors in parallel on the Apify platform that shares a common output dataset, splitting a RequestQueue-like dataset containing request URLs
You can access the Spawn Workers programmatically from your own JavaScript applications by using the Apify API. You can also choose the language preference from below. To use the Apify API, you’ll need an Apify account and your API token, found in Integrations settings in Apify Console.
1import { ApifyClient } from 'apify-client';

3// Initialize the ApifyClient with your Apify API token
4// Replace the '<YOUR_API_TOKEN>' with your token
5const client = new ApifyClient({
6 token: '<YOUR_API_TOKEN>',
7});

9// Prepare Actor input
10const input = {
11 "workerInput": {},
12 "workerOptions": {},
13 "workerCount": 2
14};
15
16// Run the Actor and wait for it to finish
17const run = await client.actor("pocesar/spawn-workers").call(input);
18
19// Fetch and print Actor results from the run's dataset (if any)
20console.log('Results from dataset');
21console.log(`💾 Check your data here: https://console.apify.com/storage/datasets/${run.defaultDatasetId}`);
22const { items } = await client.dataset(run.defaultDatasetId).listItems();
23items.forEach((item) => {
24 console.dir(item);
