Build Actor
Builds an Actor. The response is the build object as returned by the Get build endpoint.
Path parameters
Actor ID or a tilde-separated owner's username and Actor name.
Query parameters
Actor version number to be built.
If true or 1, the system will use a cache to speed up the build process. By default, cache is not used.
If true or 1 then the Actor is built with beta versions of Apify NPM packages. By default, the build uses latest packages.
Tag to be applied to the build on success. By default, the tag is taken from Actor version's buildTag property.
The maximum number of seconds the server waits for the build to finish. By default it is 0, the maximum value is 60. <!-- MAX_ACTOR_JOB_ASYNC_WAIT_SECS --> If the build finishes in time then the returned build object will have a terminal status (e.g. SUCCEEDED), otherwise it will have a transitional status (e.g. RUNNING).
