Cline executes Apify tasks
Tell Cline to scrape a site and it uses `run_actor` to get the job done. It waits for the result and then proceeds to the next step of your project. It handles the full lifecycle of the scrape. You just define the goal and watch it build the component.
Pull Apify data with Cline
Cline uses `get_dataset_results` to bring live web data into your files. It's perfect for populating mock data or building real-time dashboards. If you have multiple datasets, `list_datasets` helps Cline find the right one. No more guessing file names or IDs.
Monitor Apify with Cline
Need to verify a crawl? Cline uses `list_actor_runs` to check recent history. It spots issues before they break your app. It uses `list_actors` to see which scrapers are available. This prevents duplicate work when you're building new features.
