# Apify SDK

The Apify SDK is a toolkit for building Actors—serverless microservices running on the Apify platform. Apify comes with first-class support for JavaScript/TypeScript and Python, but you can run any containerized code as Actors.

## Apify SDK for JavaScript

The official library for creating Apify Actors in Python, with full lifecycle management, local storage, and event handling.

[Get started](https://docs.apify.com/sdk/js/docs/guides/apify-platform)[View reference](https://docs.apify.com/sdk/js/reference)


```bash
npx apify-cli create my-crawler
```



```javascript
// The Apify SDK makes it easy to initialize the actor on the platform with the Actor.init() method,

// and to save the scraped data from your Actors to a dataset by simply using the Actor.pushData() method.



import { Actor } from 'apify';

import { PlaywrightCrawler } from 'crawlee';



await Actor.init();

const crawler = new PlaywrightCrawler({

    async requestHandler({ request, page, enqueueLinks }) {

        const title = await page.title();

        console.log(`Title of ${request.loadedUrl} is '${title}'`);

        await Actor.pushData({ title, url: request.loadedUrl });

        await enqueueLinks();

    }

});

await crawler.run(['https://crawlee.dev']);

await Actor.exit();
