ActorConsole separates Apify credentials by capability. Open Apify connection to add, replace, validate, or disconnect them independently.
| Credential | Enables | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Apify API key | Actor sync, runs, builds, analytics, usage reporting, and publication writes | Use a key that can list and manage the workspace Actors. |
| Chrome extension | Console metadata, category feedback, pictures, and read operations | Checks both Apify Console domains and sends the backend ApifyRT cookie. |
| Manual cookies or cURL | The same Console metadata and read capabilities as the extension | Only the supported ApifyRT value is retained from the export. |
A healthy credential is shown separately from an unhealthy one. Replacing the API key does not overwrite the publishing credential, and replacing the publishing credential does not overwrite the API key. A publishing schedule is enabled only when the API key is healthy and can manage the selected Actors. After a successful connection, the initial Actor sync can be retried from the Actors page if Apify is temporarily unavailable.
