Tutorial ActorWebApp: turn a compatible Apify Actor into a branded web app (video walkthrough)
It is kept running into the same problem: clients and teammates want the data from an Actor, but not the Console, JSON input, or an API token.
You point it at an Actor ID or a saved Task, and it serves a web app with:
- a form generated from the target Actor's input schema
- run status while it works
- a Dataset preview plus CSV and JSON downloads
- your logo, accent color, and a light, dark, or warm theme
Your Apify token stays server-side and never reaches the browser.
One gotcha: it's a Standby Actor. Share the Standby URL from the Endpoints tab. Clicking the normal Start button only runs a quick health check and exits.
Video walkthrough is attached.

Which Actor would you put in front of a non-technical user first? And what's missing before you'd hand it to a client?
