How to get the currently running run id inside scraper code?

I would like to get this information to be able to create named datasets based on this run id.

const runId = process.env.APIFY_ACTOR_RUN_ID

const runId = process.env.APIFY_ACTOR_RUN_ID

see other env vars here https://docs.apify.com/actors/development/environment-variables

@Casper you could also use Actor.getEnv(): https://sdk.apify.com/api/apify/class/Actor#getEnv - then you could use actorRunId property of the returned object: https://sdk.apify.com/api/apify/interface/ApifyEnv#actorRunId

ApifyEnv | API | Apify SDK

Parsed representation of the APIFY_XXX environmental variables. This object is returned by the {@apilink Actor.getEnv} function.

Actor | API | Apify SDK

Actor class serves as an alternative approach to the static helpers exported from the package. It allows to pass configuration that will be used on the instance methods. Environment variables will have precedence over this configuration. See {@apilink Configuration} for details about what can be configured and what are the default values.
