feat: Add APIFY_CONSOLE_URL env variable for local actor runtime#1276
Merged
Conversation
The CLI printed `https://console.apify.com` links (run/build/dataset/KVS URLs, `apify call` / `apify actors start` output, `apify push`, and the `apify login` browser flow) with the host hardcoded, so pointing the CLI at a non-production environment via `APIFY_CLIENT_BASE_URL` still produced production Console links. Add a shared `getConsoleUrl()` helper that resolves the Console base URL from the environment: an explicit `APIFY_CONSOLE_URL` override wins, otherwise it is derived from `APIFY_CLIENT_BASE_URL` by swapping the `api.` host for `console.`, falling back to the production Console. All previously hardcoded call sites now use it. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.8 <noreply@anthropic.com> Claude-Session: https://claude.ai/code/session_01AqvuTQpZK5N9EiUuU2NAzM
When the Console is a localhost instance (local platform development), default token validation to the local API on port 3333 — the coupling the previous commit dropped. An explicit APIFY_CLIENT_BASE_URL still overrides it, so the "local Console ⇒ local API" convenience is back without hardcoding the pairing in source: both endpoints are driven by APIFY_CONSOLE_URL / APIFY_CLIENT_BASE_URL.

Add a "CLI configuration environment variables" section to the environment variables page covering the API/Console base URL overrides, how the Console URL is derived from APIFY_CLIENT_BASE_URL, and the localhost login convenience.

Replace the login-only getLoginApiBaseUrl with a shared getApiBaseUrl in console-url.ts and route the ApifyClient creation in utils.ts through it, so the "localhost Console => local API on :3333" default applies to every command, not just login. An explicit APIFY_CLIENT_BASE_URL still overrides it. As a result, setting APIFY_CONSOLE_URL to a localhost instance now also points the API at localhost by default across the whole CLI. Docs and tests updated to match; the login command no longer needs its own resolver.

The Console URL is now driven only by APIFY_CONSOLE_URL (or the production default); it is no longer inferred from APIFY_CLIENT_BASE_URL by swapping the api. host. The localhost Console => local API on :3333 fallback is kept, which already covers the local development case.

Remove the getApiBaseUrl helper and its CLI-wide use; the ApifyClient once again reads process.env.APIFY_CLIENT_BASE_URL directly in utils.ts, exactly as before. The localhost => local API on :3333 fallback returns to its original login-only scope (now keyed off the resolved Console URL). The Console URL work driven by APIFY_CONSOLE_URL is unaffected.

Seems solid 🚀. Just one nit, also lets wait for @DaveHanns to take a look.

Collapse the multi-line throw introduced by the accepted review suggestion so it matches oxfmt. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.8 <noreply@anthropic.com> Claude-Session: https://claude.ai/code/session_01AqvuTQpZK5N9EiUuU2NAzM

Just some fluff sweeping from me :)
