Apify uses personal API tokens for authentication. End users generate a token from their Apify account settings, and Truto securely manages the token lifecycle so your app never handles raw credentials directly. ### What Unified APIs does Truto support for Apify? Truto currently supports the Unified User Directory API (Me) for Apify, which lets you retrieve the authenticated user's identity. Additional tools and Unified API resources for Apify are built on request based on your use case. ### Can I trigger and manage Apify Actor runs through Truto? Apify's API supports running Actors, managing Tasks, and retrieving datasets. Truto can build proxy API support for these operations on request — contact the Truto team with your specific workflow requirements. ### How does Apify handle rate limits, and does Truto manage them? Apify enforces rate limits on its API endpoints that vary by plan. Truto handles pagination and retry logic for supported endpoints, helping your app avoid hitting limits without custom error-handling code. ### Is data from Apify available in real time? Apify Actor runs are typically asynchronous — a run can take seconds to hours depending on the task. Results become available once the run completes, either via polling the Dataset API or through webhook callbacks. Truto helps manage this async flow. ### What if I need an Apify endpoint or resource that Truto doesn't support yet? Truto builds new tools and Unified API mappings on request. If your use case requires specific Apify endpoints — like Actor management, dataset retrieval, or webhook configuration — the Truto team can scope and deliver them quickly.
