How to get the currently running run id inside scraper code?

At a glance

The community member is looking to get information to create named datasets based on a run ID. The comments suggest two ways to obtain the run ID: using the process.env.APIFY_ACTOR_RUN_ID environment variable or the Actor.getEnv() method from the Apify SDK, which provides the actorRunId property. One community member confirms that this information seems to be what the original poster needs and plans to test it soon.

Plain Text

const runId = process.env.APIFY_ACTOR_RUN_ID

see other env vars here https://docs.apify.com/actors/development/environment-variables

you could also use Actor.getEnv(): https://sdk.apify.com/api/apify/class/Actor#getEnv - then you could use actorRunId property of the returned object: https://sdk.apify.com/api/apify/interface/ApifyEnv#actorRunId
