Every Apify platform feature, plus a local SQLite store, cross-Actor search, novelty diffing, cost-aware runs, and... Trigger phrases: `scrape twitter for AI mentions`, `run apify actor`, `what's new in my reddit scraper`, `build a newsletter from this week's scrapes`, `how much did my apify scrapes cost this month`, `use apify`, `run apify`.
Collected from public GitHub. Every version is saved exactly as it was and never changes. Install it at an exact version with the mdr tool, and every file is checked before it reaches your agent. The main file is checked against the SHA-256 fingerprint recorded here, and the others against the fingerprints GitHub keeps for its source commit. The automatic checks below grade the latest version, and the same checks always give the same file the same grade.

# Apify — Printing Press CLI
## Prerequisites: Install the CLI
This skill drives the `apify-pp-cli` binary. **You must verify the CLI is installed before invoking any command from this skill.** If it is missing, install it first:
1. Install via the Printing Press installer. It defaults binaries to `$HOME/.local/bin` on macOS/Linux and `%LOCALAPPDATA%\Programs\PrintingPress\bin` on Windows:
```bash
npx -y @mvanhorn/printing-press-library install apify --cli-only
```
2. Verify: `apify-pp-cli --version`
3. Ensure the reported install directory is on `$PATH` for the agent/runtime that will invoke this skill.
If the `npx` install fails (no Node, offline, etc.), fall back to a direct Go install (requires Go 1.26.6 or newer):
```bash
…Read the whole file at its exact version.
How to install
mdr add mvanhorn/printing-press-library/pp-apify@sha256:58589c2998e8884fThe line at the top of this page pins the label git:20261023.a9c526a, which is what most people want. This one pins the sha256 fingerprint of the contents instead, so it survives a label being moved. Either way the exact version is written to mdr.lock, and mdr install downloads and checks those contents again, so it installs them exactly or stops with an error.
