## What's an Apify Actor?

Actors are web data automations that power AI and operations. 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.

# README

## SmartRecruiters Job Postings Scraper

Exports every open job posting from any public SmartRecruiters company board as one flat row per posting, with title, location, department, function, employment type, dates, apply URL, and full description text. Built for recruiters tracking competitor hiring, job boards aggregating listings, and sales/research teams that use open roles as a signal for company growth or tech stack.

### Why this scraper

- Fetches the full job description text via a secondary detail-endpoint call — pure listing-endpoint scrapers stop at title and location and skip this.
- Priced per posting at a rate below the cheapest competing scraper with real usage, so it stays cheap even as a board grows to hundreds of jobs, unlike tools that charge a flat fee per run.
- Flattens location, department, function, and coordinates into typed columns so the output is ready to filter or feed to an agent without further parsing.

### Output fields

|---|---|---|
| jobId | string | SmartRecruiters numeric posting ID |
| uuid | string | Posting UUID |
| jobAdId | string | ID of the job ad content used to fetch the full description |

| latitude | number | Location latitude |
| longitude | number | Location longitude |
| remote | boolean | Whether the role is fully remote |
| hybrid | boolean | Whether the role is hybrid |
| hybridDescription | string | Free-text hybrid arrangement detail |
| releasedDate | string | ISO timestamp the posting was released |

### Input

```json
{
  "startUrls": [
    { "url": "https://api.smartrecruiters.com/v1/companies/AveryDennison/postings?limit=100" }
  ],
  "maxItems": 50
}
```

Set `includeDescription` to `false` in the input to skip the per-posting description fetch for faster, cheaper listing-only runs.

```

### Pricing

Pay per event: **$0.0003 per job posting scraped**, including full description text. A board with 500 open postings costs about $0.15; a full run across 3 mid-size company boards (roughly 1,000–1,500 postings) typically costs $0.30–$0.45.

### Use cases

- Competitive hiring tracking: monitor a target company's SmartRecruiters board weekly to see which departments and locations are expanding headcount.
- Job board aggregation: pull structured postings from multiple company boards into a single feed with consistent fields for a niche job listing site.
- Sales lead signals: flag companies opening roles in a specific function (e.g., "DevOps" or "Procurement") as a trigger for outbound outreach.

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).
