This coroutine is executed using `asyncio.run()`, so it must remain an asynchronous function for proper execution.
Asynchronous execution is required for communication with Scrapely platform, and it also enhances performance in
the field of web scraping significantly.

An Actor with the Scrapely SDK set up, so you can build any tool you need.
Included features
- Scrapely SDK — Actor lifecycle, input, storage and proxies
- Input schema — define and validate the Actor's input (
.actor/input_schema.json) - Dataset schema — structured results with a preview view (
.actor/dataset_schema.json)
Getting started locally
python -m pip install -r requirements.txt
scrapely run # run the Actor locally
Deploying to Scrapely
Create an Actor from this template in the Scrapely Console (Develop new → template → Git). Scrapely creates a repository in your account, pushes this code, and builds the Actor. Every push to your repository triggers a new build.
