## What's an Apify Actor?

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.

# README

## ATS Jobs Intelligence

**Fresh jobs straight from company career boards — before they hit Indeed — plus a hiring-intelligence summary for every company.**

Most job scrapers fight Indeed's and LinkedIn's anti-bot defenses and hand you stale, deduplicated rows. This actor goes to the **source**: the public JSON APIs behind companies' own Applicant Tracking Systems (Greenhouse, Ashby, Lever). The data is fresh, structured, and un-scraped — and on top of it you get a per-company **intelligence layer** that answers the question raw rows can't: *is this company scaling, and where?*

Built for **recruiters** (fresh roles first), **sales/BD teams** (hiring is a buying signal), and **competitive intel** (watch a rival's org grow in real time).

---

### Supported ATS providers

| Provider | Board spec | Where the slug comes from |
|---|---|---|
| Greenhouse | `greenhouse:slug` | `boards.greenhouse.io/<slug>` |
| Ashby | `ashby:slug` | `jobs.ashbyhq.com/<slug>` |
| Lever | `lever:slug` | `jobs.lever.co/<slug>` |

All three are public, unauthenticated endpoints (verified live). No API keys required.

---

### Input

```json
{
  "boards": ["greenhouse:airbnb", "ashby:ramp", "lever:veeva"],
  "keywords": ["engineer", "product"],
  "department": "Engineering",
  "location": "Remote",
  "remoteOnly": false,
  "postedWithinDays": 30,
  "maxJobsPerCompany": 1000,
  "includeIntelligence": true
}
````

| Field | Type | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| `boards` (required) | string\[] | `"provider:slug"` entries |
| `keywords` | string\[] | Title must contain at least one (case-insensitive) |
| `department` | string | Department contains (case-insensitive) |
| `location` | string | Location contains (case-insensitive) |
| `remoteOnly` | boolean | Only remote-flagged roles |
| `postedWithinDays` | integer | Only roles published within N days (0 = off) |
| `maxJobsPerCompany` | integer | Cap on emitted job rows per board |
| `includeIntelligence` | boolean | Emit the per-company summary row (default true) |
| `mode` | string | `snapshot` (default) or `watchlist` — see below |
| `watchlistName` | string | Names the baseline in watchlist mode (default `default`) |

***

### Output

The dataset contains two record types, distinguished by `recordType` (with matching dataset **views**):

**`recordType: "job"`** — one per matched role:

```
provider, company, id, title, department, team, location,
remote, employmentType, publishedAt, updatedAt, url, applyUrl
```

**`recordType: "company_intelligence"`** — one per board (unless disabled):

```
totalOpenRoles, newRoles7d, newRoles30d, hiringVelocity,
pctOpenedLast30d, remotePct, topDepartments, topLocations,
fastestGrowingDepartment, seniorityMix, buyingSignals, summary
```

`hiringVelocity` is one of `Aggressive` (≥25% of roles opened in 30d), `Active` (≥10%), `Steady` (<10%), `Frozen` (0 new), or `Unknown` (no dated roles). Intelligence is computed on the company's **full** role set, so it reflects real hiring posture regardless of your keyword/location filter.

Example `summary`:

> Ramp: 125 open roles, hiring aggressive · 41 opened in the last 30d · fastest-growing team: Sales · 38% remote. Signals: Scaling Sales — 6 new roles in 30d; Building leadership — 2 new director/exec role(s) in 30d.

***

### Watchlist mode — track changes over time

Set `mode: "watchlist"` to turn the actor from a one-time snapshot into a **change feed**. Instead of returning every current job each run, it remembers the last run and reports only **what changed** since — ideal for a **scheduled** run (daily/weekly) that alerts you when target companies start (or stop) hiring.

**How it works:**

1. **First run** on a given `watchlistName` + board just saves a **baseline** (a free `baseline` row — nothing is charged).
2. **Every run after** diffs the live board against that baseline and emits `recordType: "change"` rows:

| `changeType` | Meaning | Billed? |
|---|---|---|
| `new_role` | A role that wasn't there last run | ✅ as `job-scraped` |
| `removed_role` | A role that's been filled or pulled | Free |
| `company_shift` | Posture digest: velocity change, new buying signals, new/removed counts | ✅ as `company-intelligence` |
| `no_change` | Nothing changed for that board this run | Free |
| `baseline` | First-run seed | Free |

3. The baseline advances to the current state after each run, so you only ever see genuinely new changes.

Use `watchlistName` to keep separate histories (e.g. `competitors`, `target-accounts`). Set `includeIntelligence: false` to get only role-level changes without the posture digest. See the **Changes** dataset view for a clean table.

**Who it's for:** sales/BD teams treating hiring as a buying signal, recruiters watching competitors open roles, and investors/analysts tracking a company's org growth week over week.

> Tip: schedule watchlist runs in Apify (Schedules) and wire the dataset to a webhook/Slack for automatic hiring alerts.

### Pricing

**Pay per event** — you are charged only for the results you receive:

- **`job-scraped`** — one charge per job row returned.
- **`company-intelligence`** — one charge per company hiring-intelligence summary.

Boards that error (wrong slug, company migrated off that ATS) are **never charged** — error rows are free. The intelligence summary is priced separately from job rows because it's the differentiator versus commodity single-board scrapers: set `includeIntelligence: false` to skip it and pay for job rows only.

***

### Notes & limits

- **Provider field coverage differs** (from each ATS's public API): Greenhouse omits `team`/`employmentType`; Ashby and Lever omit `updatedAt`. Missing fields are `null`, never guessed.
- Lever's `createdAt` is epoch-ms and is normalized to ISO-8601 like the others.
- A board that errors (wrong slug, company migrated off that ATS) emits a `recordType: "error"` row and does not stop the run.
- Only `isListed` Ashby roles are returned.

# Actor input Schema

## `boards` (type: `array`):

List of ATS boards to scrape, each as "provider:slug". Provider is one of greenhouse, ashby, lever. The slug is the company's board identifier in its careers URL (e.g. boards.greenhouse.io/AIRBNB → "greenhouse:airbnb", jobs.ashbyhq.com/RAMP → "ashby:ramp", jobs.lever.co/VEEVA → "lever:veeva").

## `keywords` (type: `array`):

Only return jobs whose title contains at least one of these keywords (case-insensitive). Leave empty to return all roles.

## `department` (type: `string`):

Only return jobs whose department contains this text (case-insensitive). E.g. "Engineering", "Sales".

## `location` (type: `string`):

Only return jobs whose location contains this text (case-insensitive). E.g. "New York", "London", "Remote".

## `remoteOnly` (type: `boolean`):

If true, return only roles flagged remote (or whose location mentions remote).

## `postedWithinDays` (type: `integer`):

Only return roles first published within this many days. 0 (default) disables the filter. Note: roles without a publish date are excluded when this is set.

## `maxJobsPerCompany` (type: `integer`):

Cap on job rows emitted per board. Lower = faster + cheaper.

## `includeIntelligence` (type: `boolean`):

If true (default), emit one company-intelligence summary row per board: hiring velocity, department investment, seniority mix, and buying signals.

## `mode` (type: `string`):

snapshot (default) = return all current jobs + intelligence every run. watchlist = remember the last run and report only what CHANGED since (new roles, removed/filled roles, hiring-posture shifts). Watchlist is built for scheduled runs — the first run just saves a baseline. New roles bill as job-scraped and posture-shift digests as company-intelligence; removed roles and the baseline are free.

## `watchlistName` (type: `string`):

Names the baseline this run diffs against, so you can keep multiple independent watchlists (e.g. "competitors", "target-accounts"). Runs sharing a name and board build on the same history. Ignored in snapshot mode.
