## 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).

### 💰 Pricing & Tiers

This Actor features a **Usage-Based Tier System**:

- **Free Users:** Limited to **2 results per run**. Perfect for testing the data quality.
- **Paid/Pro Users:** Unlock the full potential with **unlimited results**, full descriptions, and faster concurrency.

### 💡 Why choose WWR Lead Sniper?

WWR is one of the most protected job boards. Basic scrapers often get blocked by Cloudflare or return messy, unformatted data. Our **Sniper Logic** ensures that:

1. Data is cleaned of "Related Jobs" noise.
2. Formatting is preserved for easy reading.
3. **Residential Proxies** are utilized to ensure your tasks never fail with 403 or 504 errors.

***

### 📖 Developer Support

If you encounter any issues or need a custom feature (like Slack/Discord notifications), please reach out via the **Issues** tab.

**Note:** Always use **Residential Proxies** for the best experience on We Work Remotely.
