## What's an Apify Actor?

Actors are a software tools running on the Apify platform, for all kinds of web data extraction and automation use cases.
In Batch mode, an Actor accepts a well-defined JSON input, performs an action which can take anything from a few seconds to a few hours,
and optionally produces a well-defined JSON output, datasets with results, or files in key-value store.
In Standby mode, an Actor provides a web server which can be used as a website, API, or an MCP server.
Actors are written with capital "A".

## How to integrate an Actor?

If asked about integration, you help developers integrate Actors into their projects.
You adapt to their stack and deliver integrations that are safe, well-documented, and production-ready.
The best way to integrate Actors is as follows.

In JavaScript/TypeScript projects, use official [JavaScript/TypeScript client](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/js.md):

```bash
npm install apify-client
```

In Python projects, use official [Python client library](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/python.md):

```bash
pip install apify-client
```

In shell scripts, use [Apify CLI](https://docs.apify.com/cli/docs.md):

````bash
# MacOS / Linux
curl -fsSL https://apify.com/install-cli.sh | bash
# Windows
irm https://apify.com/install-cli.ps1 | iex
```bash

In AI frameworks, you might use the [Apify MCP server](https://docs.apify.com/platform/integrations/mcp.md).

If your project is in a different language, use the [REST API](https://docs.apify.com/api/v2.md).

For usage examples, see the [API](#api) section below.

For more details, see Apify documentation as [Markdown index](https://docs.apify.com/llms.txt) and [Markdown full-text](https://docs.apify.com/llms-full.txt).


# README

## 🗣️ Hashnode Blog Scrapper and Convertor
![Logo](./static/Apify%20Lingo%20Hashnode%20Blog%20Convertor.png)

An Apify actor to extract and translate blog content from Hashnode, then store results in Apify storage. Built in Python and designed for quick local runs and Apify deployments.

---

### 🔎 What it does

- 📝 Fetches blog posts from Hashnode
- 🌐 Translates content using configured translation logic
- 📦 Writes outputs to Apify `datasets`

### ⚙️ Configuration & Input

- Example input file:

```json
{
  "hashnodePublicationName": "srinikethj.hashnode.dev",
  "hashnodeSlugName": "send-sms-using-twilio-for-g-calendar-events-using-naas-template",
  "targetLocale": "de"
}
````

- Hashnode API key: To generate the token, go to https://hashnode.com/settings/developer and click on "Generate New Token".
- Lingo.dev API key: https://lingo.dev/en/cli/quick-start (Refer #Lingo.dev Engine)

### 🏗️ Working

![Flow Diagram](./static/Working.png)

### 📁 Output

- Results are saved to Apify storage under `storage/datasets/default/` and `storage/key_value_stores/default/` during local runs
- Modelled output types are in `src/models/output.py`
- Example ouptut:

```json

### ✅ Notes

- Use `apify validate-schema ./.actor/input_schema.json` before pushing if schema validation is required.
- Keep credentials and API keys out of repo; use Apify secret store or environment variables.
- If `target_language` and current content language matches, then don't process the request.

# Actor input Schema

## `hashnodePublicationName` (type: `string`):

The Hashnode publication host (e.g., 'tests.hashnode.dev')

## `hashnodeSlugName` (type: `string`):

The slug of the blog post to translate (e.g., 'your-slug-name')

## `targetLocale` (type: `string`):

# API

You can run this Actor programmatically using our API. Below are code examples in JavaScript, Python, and CLI, as well as the OpenAPI specification and MCP server setup.

## JavaScript example

```javascript
import { ApifyClient } from 'apify-client';

// Initialize the ApifyClient with your Apify API token
// Replace the '<YOUR_API_TOKEN>' with your token
const client = new ApifyClient({
    token: '<YOUR_API_TOKEN>',
});

// Prepare Actor input
const input = {
    "hashnodePublicationName": "srinikethj.hashnode.dev",
    "hashnodeSlugName": "send-sms-using-twilio-for-g-calendar-events-using-naas-template",
    "targetLocale": "de"
};

// Run the Actor and wait for it to finish
const run = await client.actor("srini047/hashnode-blog-translator").call(input);

// Fetch and print Actor results from the run's dataset (if any)
console.log('Results from dataset');
console.log(`💾 Check your data here: https://console.apify.com/storage/datasets/${run.defaultDatasetId}`);
const { items } = await client.dataset(run.defaultDatasetId).listItems();
items.forEach((item) => {
    console.dir(item);
});
