# Universal web scraper

AI-driven data extraction from ~100 Actors across 15+ platforms via the Apify CLI.

**Rules for every `apify` command:**
1. Pass `--json` for machine-readable output (stable across CLI versions).
2. Pass `--user-agent apify-agent-skills/apify-ultimate-scraper` for telemetry attribution.
3. Redirect stderr with `2>/dev/null` (stderr contains progress messages that break JSON parsers).

## Prerequisites

- Apify CLI v1.5.0+ (`npm install -g apify-cli`)
- Authenticated session (see below)

## Authentication

If a CLI command fails with an auth error, authenticate using one of these methods:

1. **OAuth (interactive):** `apify login` (opens browser)
2. **Environment variable:** `export APIFY_TOKEN=your_token_here`… install to load the full skill
