Proxy Configuration

proxyConfiguration

Your proxy configuration from Apify

API

Bytewells speaks the Apify API. Existing integrations keep working: point apify-client at https://bytewells.com/api and use your Bytewells API token (Console → Settings → API access). The Actor ID is lexis-solutions/snapchat-ads-scraper (or lexis-solutions~snapchat-ads-scraper in URLs).

JavaScript · apify-client

import { ApifyClient } from 'apify-client';

const client = new ApifyClient({
  token: process.env.BYTEWELLS_TOKEN,
  baseUrl: 'https://bytewells.com/api',
});

const input = {
  "search": "Ikea",
  "proxyConfiguration": {
    "useApifyProxy": true,
    "apifyProxyGroups": []
  }
};

const run = await client.actor('lexis-solutions/snapchat-ads-scraper').call(input);
const { items } = await client.dataset(run.defaultDatasetId).listItems();
console.log(items);

Python · apify-client

import os
from apify_client import ApifyClient

client = ApifyClient(os.environ["BYTEWELLS_TOKEN"], api_url="https://bytewells.com/api")

run_input = {
    "search": "Ikea",
    "proxyConfiguration": {
        "useApifyProxy": True,
        "apifyProxyGroups": []
    }
}

run = client.actor("lexis-solutions/snapchat-ads-scraper").call(run_input=run_input)
items = client.dataset(run["defaultDatasetId"]).list_items().items
print(items)

HTTP · curl

curl -X POST "https://bytewells.com/api/v2/acts/lexis-solutions~snapchat-ads-scraper/runs" \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer $BYTEWELLS_TOKEN" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{"search":"Ikea","proxyConfiguration":{"useApifyProxy":true,"apifyProxyGroups":[]}}'

Runs are billed as compute from your credit balance. Paid Actors need an active rental or trial; otherwise the API answers 402 rental-required.
