## What's an Apify Actor?

An Actor is a serverless cloud program that runs on the Apify platform. It has two run modes.
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.

Apify vocabulary and the platform model are defined once, in the agent quickstart at https://apify.com/agents.md.

## 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.

Do not guess an integration path. Every one of them is in the agent quickstart at https://apify.com/agents.md: the Apify MCP server, Agent Skills with the Apify CLI, the JavaScript and Python clients, the REST API, and the account-free path for an agent with no human to sign in. It also carries the rule on stating cost before the first paid run.

For examples already wired to this Actor's own input schema, see the [API](#api) section below.

Each client library has reference documentation the quickstart does not restate: [JavaScript/TypeScript](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/js/docs.md) (`npm install apify-client`) and [Python](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/python/docs.md) (`pip install apify-client`).

## Internshala Scraper: India Internships & Fresher Jobs

Scrape internships and fresher jobs from Internshala, India's largest internship platform, by category and city or work from home: title, company, stipend or salary in INR, duration, experience, skills, locations, posted date and link. $0.30 per 1,000 listings.

**An Internshala scraper for India's internships and fresher jobs, with no browser.** Internshala is India's biggest platform for internships and entry-level jobs, used by thousands of startups and companies to hire students and freshers. Pick **internships or fresher jobs**, give it **categories** (python, data science, web development, marketing…) and optionally **cities** or **work from home**, and get one clean row per listing: **title, company and logo, locations, remote flag, stipend or salary** as text and as **INR numbers with period** (per month for internships, per year CTC for jobs), **unpaid** flag, **duration** or **required experience**, **skills**, actively-hiring badge, posted date (approximate from "2 days ago") and the listing link. Every category runs in every city. Use it for **campus and fresher hiring research**, stipend and entry-level salary benchmarking in India, **lead lists of startups that are hiring**, and internship job boards and alerts. **$0.30 per 1,000 listings**, with no compute bill on top; problems return a free status row instead of failing.

### What data does it return?

Every run outputs clean, schema-validated rows like these:

| title | company | listingType | location | salaryText |
| --- | --- | --- | --- | --- |
| Full Stack Development | Alphanumeric Ideas Private Limited | internship | Mohali | ₹ 3,000 - 6,000 /month |
| Product Testing | iCelero Technologies | internship | Work from home | ₹ 27,000 - 28,000 /month |
| AI And Robotics Trainer | STEMpedia | job | Ahmedabad, Gandhinagar, Surat, Vadodara | ₹ 2,84,000 - 4,20,000 /year |

### How much does it cost?

Transparent pay-per-event pricing — you only pay for what you get, and the
actor **always respects your run budget**: set a maximum total charge and it
stops cleanly at the cap instead of overrunning.

| Event | Price | Charged | Worked example |
| --- | --- | --- | --- |
| `job-result` | $0.0003 | per listing row | 1,000 listings = $0.30 |
| `apify-actor-start` | $0.00005 | per run per GB of memory (platform start fee) | One run at 256 MB = $0.00005 |

### Input options

| Field | Type | Required | Default | Description |
| --- | --- | --- | --- | --- |
| `listingType` | string | no | `"internships"` | Internships or fresher / entry-level jobs. |
| `categories` | array | no | — | Internshala categories or skills, e.g. python, data-science, web-development, marketing, content-writing, graphic-design, finance. Leave empty for all. |
| `cities` | array | no | `[]` | Indian cities, e.g. bangalore, delhi, mumbai, pune, hyderabad. Every category is searched in every city. Leave empty for all of India. |
| `workFromHome` | boolean | no | `false` | Only remote (work-from-home) listings. |
| `maxPagesPerSearch` | integer | no | `10` | Listing pages per category × city. |
| `maxItems` | integer | no | `200` | Stop after this many listings in total. Each listing is one charged row. |

### Limits & honest notes

- **Responsible use:** you are responsible for using the data in line with Internshala's terms and India's Digital Personal Data Protection Act. This actor is not affiliated with, endorsed by or sponsored by Internshala.
- It reads only Internshala's public category and city listing pages. robots.txt disallows every URL with a query string or comma and the detail endpoints, so the actor uses path-based pages only and checks robots.txt before each one. No login, no cookies, no proxies and no CAPTCHA solving; it sends an honest user agent (ActorForge-Internshala) and waits at least 1.5 s between pages.
- Listing-page data only: no full description, perks or number of openings. Posting dates are approximate (Internshala shows "2 days ago"). Fresher-job pages have no work-from-home path, so that filter is applied by the actor for jobs.
- No recruiter or applicant details are collected; company names and logos are business data.
- If Internshala answers with a block or a challenge, the run stops at once, keeps the listings already delivered and adds a free status row. Respects your run budget: set a maximum total charge and the run stops cleanly at the cap. A run with no results returns one free status row.

echo '{
  "categories": [
    "python"
  ],

## MCP server setup

```json

The hosted server signs you in with OAuth on first connect, so no API token belongs in this config. Clients without OAuth support can send an `Authorization: Bearer <APIFY_API_TOKEN>` header instead, using a token from API & Integrations in Apify Console (https://console.apify.com/settings/integrations).
