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 ## 🌐 Universal Job Scraper — 5 Platforms, Any Role, Any Location > Search **any job type** across 5 platforms in one run. Filter by location, job type, and experience level. Every result is scored and optionally paired with a personalised outreach message. --- ### What Makes This Different Most job scrapers only hit **one platform** and dump raw data. This actor scrapes **5 platforms simultaneously**, deduplicates across them, scores every result, and remembers what you've already seen — so repeat runs only cost you for **new jobs**. | Step | What happens | |---|---| | **Scrape** | Hits Remotive, RemoteOK, We Work Remotely, Wellfound & Indeed | | **Filter** | Location, job type (remote/full-time/contract), experience level, custom keywords | | **Deduplicate** | Removes cross-platform duplicates — exact + fuzzy matching | | **Score** | Relevance Score (matches your keywords) + Opportunity Score (company signals) | | **Outreach** | Optional: generates a personalised cold DM per job using Claude AI | | **Incremental** | Remembers seen jobs — you only pay for **new results** on repeat runs | --- ### Platforms | Platform | Method | Job Types | |---|---|---| | **Remotive** | JSON API — fast & free | Remote tech, marketing, design, sales | | **RemoteOK** | JSON API — fast & free | Remote startup roles, any field | | **We Work Remotely** | RSS — fast & free | Remote roles across all categories | | **Wellfound** | Playwright | Startup roles, any function | | **Indeed** | Playwright + Proxy | Broadest coverage — all types & locations | > **Tip:** Start with the 3 API platforms (no proxy needed, lowest cost). Add Wellfound & Indeed for higher volume or non-remote roles. --- ### Input Options | Field | Type | Default | Description | |---|---|---|---| | `queries` | string[] | `["software engineer"]` | Job titles or search terms | | `location` | string | `""` | City, country, or "Remote". Blank = anywhere | | `jobType` | select | `"any"` | `any` / `remote` / `full-time` / `part-time` / `contract` | | `experienceLevel` | select | `"any"` | `any` / `entry` / `mid` / `senior` | | `platforms` | string[] | API 3 | Which platforms to scrape | | `maxResultsPerPlatform` | integer | `50` | Cap per platform (max 500) | | `targetKeywords` | string[] | `[]` | Optional: only return jobs with these keywords | | `excludePatterns` | string[] | `[]` | Optional: skip jobs containing these words | | `enableScoring` | boolean | `true` | Compute Relevance + Opportunity scores | | `enableOutreach` | boolean | `false` | Generate Claude AI outreach messages | | `anthropicApiKey` | string | — | Required only for outreach | | `proxyConfig` | object | Residential | For Wellfound & Indeed | --- ### Output Fields | Field | Description | |---|---| | `title` | Job title | | `company` | Company name | | `location` | Location or "Remote" | | `url` | Direct apply link | | `salary` | Salary if listed | | `tags` | Keywords matched from your filters | | `datePosted` | Date posted | | `source` | Which platform | | `relevance_score` | **0–100** — how well the job matches your keywords | | `opportunity_score` | **0–100** — company signals: startup stage, manual processes, growth | | `outreach_message` | Ready-to-send personalised DM (if enabled) | --- ### Example Inputs #### Remote software jobs anywhere ```json { "queries": ["software engineer", "backend developer", "fullstack developer"], "platforms": ["remotive", "remoteok", "weworkremotely"], "jobType": "remote", "experienceLevel": "mid", "maxResultsPerPlatform": 100 } ```` #### Senior marketing roles in London ```json { "queries": ["marketing manager", "growth manager", "head of marketing"], "platforms": ["indeed", "wellfound"], "location": "London", "jobType": "full-time", "experienceLevel": "senior", "excludePatterns": ["unpaid", "commission only"], "proxyConfig": { "useApifyProxy": true, "apifyProxyGroups": ["RESIDENTIAL"] } } ``` #### Contract data roles with keyword filter ```json { "queries": ["data analyst", "data engineer", "BI developer"], "platforms": ["remotive", "remoteok", "weworkremotely", "indeed"], "jobType": "contract", "targetKeywords": ["Python", "SQL", "dbt", "Snowflake"], "enableScoring": true } ``` *** ### Scoring Explained #### Relevance Score (0–100) How well the job matches your `targetKeywords`. Title matches score higher than description matches.\ If no keywords are set → score defaults to 50 (neutral). #### Opportunity Score (0–100) Universal company signals — applies to any industry: - 🚀 Growth signals: Series A/B, seed round, scaling fast - 🔧 Process signals: manual workflows, spreadsheets, bottlenecks - 🔗 Integration signals: API, CRM, webhook, workflow mentions - 👥 Team signals: startup, small team, early-stage, contractor *** ### Incremental Runs — Only Pay for New Jobs The actor stores all processed job IDs in Apify's Key-Value Store.\ On repeat runs, **already-seen jobs are skipped** — you only process and pay for genuinely new listings. **Recommended schedule:** Daily at 08:00 via Apify Schedules. *** ### Cost Estimate | Mode | Compute Units / 1,000 results | |---|---| | API only (Remotive + RemoteOK + WWR) | ~2 CU | | + Playwright (Wellfound / Indeed) | ~8–12 CU | | + AI Outreach (Claude, billed separately) | ~12 CU + ~$0.01/job | *** ### Use Cases - 🔍 **Job seekers** — daily multi-platform alerts, pre-filtered to your role & location - 💼 **Recruiters** — source candidates across 5 boards in minutes, not hours - 🤝 **Freelancers & consultants** — find companies actively hiring = warm leads - 🛠️ **HR tech & job boards** — feed structured data into your product - 📊 **Market researchers** — track hiring trends by role, location, company type *** ### FAQ **Q: Do I need proxies?**\ Only for Wellfound and Indeed. The 3 API platforms work without any proxy. **Q: Can I scrape any job type — not just tech?**\ Yes. Search for "nurse", "accountant", "sales rep", "chef" — any query works. **Q: Do I need an Anthropic key?**\ Only if `enableOutreach: true`. The actor works fully without it. **Q: How do I avoid duplicates across runs?**\ Automatically handled. The KV store remembers every job ID already pushed. **Q: Can I run this on a schedule?**\ Yes — use Apify Schedules. Daily runs with incremental state = zero wasted compute. *** ### Support Open an issue on the actor page or contact via Apify console.
