They run on the Apify platform to scrape websites, process data, connect APIs, and automate workflows. 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. - **AI agents and MCP clients** — the [Apify MCP server](https://docs.apify.com/integrations/mcp.md) at `https://mcp.apify.com` (remote, streamable HTTP, OAuth on first use). - **Agentic workflows and local Actor development** — [Agent Skills](https://apify.com/.well-known/agent-skills/index.json) with the [Apify CLI](https://docs.apify.com/cli/docs.md): `npm install -g apify-cli`, then `apify login`. - **JavaScript/TypeScript projects** — the official [JS/TS client](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/js/docs.md): `npm install apify-client`. - **Python projects** — the official [Python client](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/python/docs.md): `pip install apify-client`. - **Any other language** — the [REST API](https://docs.apify.com/api/v2.md). For usage examples, see the [API](#api) section below.

Built for recruiters, sourcers, job board aggregators, and market researchers who need current Himalayas listings without manually paging through the site. ### Why this scraper - Covers the same field set as the most-used Himalayas scraper in the store — salary range, timezone and location restrictions, categories, and application link — so you're not trading completeness for price. - Priced at $0 per job listing, so pulling thousands of listings for a large sourcing run or a recurring dataset refresh costs nothing. - Reads directly from Himalayas's public JSON API endpoint, so output fields map cleanly to source data with no HTML-scraping fragility on the listing page itself. ### Output fields | Field | Type | Description | |---|---|---| | title | string | Job title | | companyName | string | Hiring company name | | companySlug | string | Company slug used in Himalayas URLs | | companyLogo | string | URL of the company logo image | | employmentType | string | Employment type, e.g. Full Time | | minSalary | number | Minimum stated salary | | maxSalary | number | Maximum stated salary | | salaryPeriod | string | Salary period, e.g. annual | | currency | string | Salary currency code | | seniority | string | Comma-separated seniority levels | | locationRestrictions | string | Comma-separated allowed locations | | timezoneRestrictions | string | Comma-separated allowed UTC offsets | | categories | string | Comma-separated job categories | | parentCategories | string | Comma-separated parent job categories | | description | string | Full HTML job description | | pubDate | integer | Unix timestamp the job was published | | expiryDate | integer | Unix timestamp the job listing expires | | applicationLink | string | URL to apply for the job | | guid | string | Unique job listing URL/identifier | ### Input ```json { "startUrls": [{ "url": "https://himalayas.app/jobs/api" }], "maxItems": 50 } ``` ### Output ```json { "title": "Head of Talent Acquisition", "companyName": "YipitData", "companySlug": "yipitdata", "companyLogo": "https://cdn-images.himalayas.app/4ou6thwql1calbrwk9sh10g64a6o", "employmentType": "Full Time", "minSalary": 210000, "maxSalary": 270000, "salaryPeriod": "annual", "currency": "USD", "seniority": "Director", "locationRestrictions": "United States", "timezoneRestrictions": "-10, -9, -8, -7, -6, -5, 14", "categories": "Talent-Acquisition, Recruiting-Leadership, Recruiting-Director, Talent-Acquisition-Strategy, Head-of-Recruiting, Head-Of-Talent-Acquisition, Director-Of-Talent-Acquisition", "parentCategories": "Human Resources", "description": "

A run pulling 50, 500, or 5,000 listings costs $0 — you only pay Apify platform compute for the run itself. ### Use cases - Feeding a recruiting CRM or ATS with a daily pull of new remote listings filtered by category or seniority for outbound sourcing. - Building a salary-benchmarking dataset for remote roles by parsing minSalary/maxSalary and currency across job categories. - Populating a niche remote-jobs aggregator site with live listings, application links, and company logos pulled directly from Himalayas. # Actor input Schema ## `startUrls` (type: `array`): Pages to export. ## `maxItems` (type: `integer`): Stop after this many records. ## Actor input object example ```json { "startUrls": [ { "url": "https://himalayas.app/jobs/api" }, { "url": "https://himalayas.app/jobs/api?limit=20" }, { "url": "https://himalayas.app/jobs/api?country=usa" } ], "maxItems": 50 } ``` # Actor output Schema ## `results` (type: `string`): One structured record per input URL. # API You can run this Actor programmatically using our API.
