# Apify SDK Patterns
## Overview
Production patterns for both the `apify` SDK (building Actors) and `apify-client` (calling Actors remotely). Covers Crawlee crawler selection, data storage, proxy configuration, and typed client wrappers. This skill gives you the essential skeletons inline; the full eight-pattern catalog and two worked scenarios live in `references/` for progressive drill-down.
## Prerequisites
- Install what you need: `apify-client` for calling Actors remotely, or `apify` + `crawlee` for building Actors. Both can coexist in one project.
- Set `APIFY_TOKEN` in the environment — read it via `process.env.APIFY_TOKEN`, never hard-code it. This is the only credential these patterns require (Apify uses a personal API token, not OAuth).
- TypeScript is recommended; every snippet here is typed and runs under `ts-node` or a compiled build.
## Instructions
Use the two skeletons below to start, then reach into the reference catalog for the pattern that matches your task.
