I need help to retrieve an actor's input schema

I can retrieve the list of public actors available, and the information of a specific actor as well.

The problem that I have is that I need to now (and retrieve) a specific public actors input schema before running it right? How can I do that?

You can find input-schema here in every Actor's input tab-> JSON: https://apify.com/curious_coder/apollo-io-scraper/input-schema

And how could I tet that directly from code in python? Through HTTP requests

Why do you need it? Closest match is exampleRunInput in https://docs.apify.com/api/v2#/reference/actors/actor-object/get-actor

Because I want to develop a script that lets me extract the best actor for my needs together with the required inputs. That way I would like to run the actor with a script as well (without needing to go to the Apify UI).

But for that I need the Input Schema so that I can specify the required inputs when I run the actor. Does someone know how can I do that?

Just use plain http request to https://apify.com/curious_coder/apollo-io-scraper/input-schema

Just checked. it's available in html.
