Apify Console
Apify Console is a web application where you can manage all your Apify projects and resources.
Create an account
To use Apify Console, create an account at the sign-up page.
Use an email and password
This is the most common way of creating an account. You just need to provide your email address and a password. The password needs to be at least 8 characters, should not be your email address, and should either contain special characters or be long enough to be secure. The password field has a strength indicator below it that will tell you if your password is strong enough.
After you click the Sign up button, we will send you a verification email. The email contains a link that you need to click on or copy to your browser to proceed to automated email verification. After we verify your email, you will proceed to Apify Console.
We are using Google reCAPTCHA to prevent spam accounts. Usually, you will not see it, but if Google evaluates your browser as suspicious, they will ask you to solve a reCAPTCHA before we create your account and send you the verification email.
If you did not receive the email, you can visit the sign-in page. There, you will either proceed to the verification page right away, or you can sign in and will be redirected afterward. On the verification page, you can click on the Resend verification email button to send the email again.
Use a Google or GitHub account
If you do not want to create a new password for Apify Console, you can also use your Google or GitHub account to sign up. To do that, click the Continue with Google or Continue with GitHub buttons. You will proceed to the corresponding authentication page, where you must sign in and authorize Apify to access your account. Then, when you come back to Apify Console, we will create your account.
If you used Google to sign up, there is no verification step after this, and you can start using Apify Console right away. On the other hand, if you used GitHub to create your account and your GitHub account does not have a verified email, we will ask you to verify your email address before you can start using Apify Console. The process works the same as the process for email and password authentication.
If you already have an account in Apify Console connected to Google or GitHub, clicking on these buttons on the sign-up page will not create a new account but will directly sign you in.
Add authentication methods
After you create your account, you might still want to use the other authentication methods. To do that, go to the Login & Privacy section of your account settings. There, you will see all available authentication methods and their configuration.
Sign in to Apify Console
To sign in to your account, visit the sign-in page.

-
Recently viewed: Displays Actors you have recently accessed. If you haven't used any Actors yet, you will see suggestions instead.
-
Suggested Actors for you: Recommends Actors that might interest you based on your and other users' recent activities.

Actor runs: Shows your recent Actor runs, as well as scheduled runs and tasks.
