Apify

Hello - i am currently running the actor locally in VSCode in python -
How and where can i change if the Actor is running headless or not
with this "Actor.config.headless" parameter

Where can i change this to False for example?

Hi there!

The headless option is tied to the APIFY_HEADLESS variable (set to "1" or "0").
1 = headless
0 = headful
You have two ways to turn off headless mode:

Set the environment variable before running your actor:

```bash
# Unix/macOS
export APIFY_HEADLESS=0
python my_actor.py
```

Override the configuration in code, as long as you do it before any browser is launched:

```python
from apify import Configuration

# Disable headless mode at runtime
Configuration.get_global_configuration().headless = False
```
Hope this helps!

I tried it with this:

Configuration.get_global_configuration().headless = False
print(Actor.config.headless)

But the result is still: 

(apify) C:\DEVNEU\Python-Diverses\Apify_Development\leadSearch>apify run -p
Run: "C:\DEVNEU\.venv\apify\Scripts\python.exe" -m src
True
