# Apify: Run Actor

> Start an Apify actor with your input and return the run ID right away, without waiting for results. Includes SDK V2 examples, schemas, and cost.

Start an Apify actor with your input and return the run ID right away, without waiting for results.

> [!NOTE]
>
> Tool ID: `apify_run_actor`

## Run this action

Use the TypeScript SDK for one call. Use `ctx.tools.execute(...)` inside a Play for durable calls, scheduled calls, or CSV processing.

```ts theme={"languages":{"custom":["/languages/deepline-prompt.json"]}}
import { Deepline } from 'deepline';

const deepline = await Deepline.connect();
const result = await deepline.tools.execute(
  'apify_run_actor',
  {
    "actorId": "actor_123"
  },
);

console.log(result.toolResponse.raw);
```

### CLI

```bash theme={"languages":{"custom":["/languages/deepline-prompt.json"]}}
deepline tools execute apify_run_actor --input '{
  "actorId": "actor_123"
}' --json
```

## Example response

The SDK returns this shape at `result.toolResponse.raw`. The example values illustrate the response.

```json theme={"languages":{"custom":["/languages/deepline-prompt.json"]}}
{
  "status": "example",
  "result": {
    "data": {
      "run": {
        "id": "id_123",
        "status": "example",
        "defaultDatasetId": "default_dataset_123",
        "defaultKeyValueStoreId": "default_key_value_store_123",
        "defaultRequestQueueId": "default_request_queue_123",
        "startedAt": "2026-01-15T12:00:00Z",
        "finishedAt": "2026-01-15T12:00:00Z"
      },
      "runId": "run_123",
      "defaultDatasetId": "default_dataset_123",
      "defaultKeyValueStoreId": "default_key_value_store_123",
      "defaultRequestQueueId": "default_request_queue_123"
    },
    "meta": {
      "status": 123
    }
  }
}
```

Use `deepline describe apify_run_actor --json` for the latest machine-readable contract.
