Create an Apify account and copy an API token.\n2. In n8n, create a **Query Auth** credential:\n - Name: `Apify API Token`\n - Query parameter name: `token`\n - Value: your Apify token\n3. Open **Run Apify Actor** and select that credential.\n4. Click **Execute workflow**. The rows appear in **Rows ready**.\n5.

No API token is stored in this file.\n- `run-sync-get-dataset-items` waits up to 300 seconds. For large runs, switch to the async run + dataset endpoint.\n- Public data only.
