## What This Skill Does

- Automatically fill and submit web forms
- Automate repetitive browser interactions (login flows, checkout, data entry)
- Scrape and extract structured data from web pages
- Run and monitor web automation actors via the Apify API
- Test UI flows programmatically across different browsers

---

## Step 1 — Get Your Apify API Token

1. Go to **https://www.apify.com/?fpr=dx06p** and create a free account
2. Once logged in, go to **Settings → Integrations**
   - Direct link: https://console.apify.com/account/integrations
3. Copy your **Personal API Token** — it looks like: `apify_api_xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx`
4. Store it safely:
   ```bash
   export APIFY_TOKEN=apify_api_xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
   ```

> Free tier includes **$5/month** of free compute — enough for testing and moderate automation.

## Step 2 — Install the Apify Client (Optional)

```bash
npm install apify-client
```

Or use the REST API directly from any language (Python, curl, etc.)
