common actor code

Hello, do you have any suggestions on how to share code between actors without using public repositories like pypi or github, instead only using apify platform/web IDE? Some crazy idea: import from key value store apify internal pypi

Hey @rome

Some crazy idea: import from key value store apify internal pypi

This is a pretty good idea, just create a package in wheel format from the code you want to share. Here is an example for a requests package

pip install https://api.apify.com/v2/key-value-stores/t14j75uYTb6a9sD9p/records/requests-2.32.2-py3-none-any.whl

pip install https://api.apify.com/v2/key-value-stores/t14j75uYTb6a9sD9p/records/requests-2.32.2-py3-none-any.whl

Which I have placed in my key-value store. Now I can just install it inside a docker container that I'll host on Apify. You can do the same with your code that you want to share between actors. sample with custom package

pip install https://api.apify.com/v2/key-value-stores/t14j75uYTb6a9sD9p/records/best_apify_package-1.0.0-py3-none-any.whl

pip install https://api.apify.com/v2/key-value-stores/t14j75uYTb6a9sD9p/records/best_apify_package-1.0.0-py3-none-any.whl

import best_apify_package

import best_apify_package

@Mantisus thx for your inputs. And you did not have to provide any api key?

@rome use your Apify API key when upload a package in the key-value if you do it for example from the Web IDE terminal But you don't need any keys to download a package from Apify key-value. You can run the examples I've given you to see this
