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.

Behance.net is Adobe's global creative platform where designers, illustrators, UX/UI professionals, and artists showcase portfolios and discover paid opportunities. It hosts thousands of active job listings, ranging from freelance projects to full-time creative roles. Manually tracking opportunities across Behance is tedious for recruiters and job seekers alike — the **Behance Jobs Scraper** automates extraction of job metadata, enabling rapid talent market analysis and opportunity discovery. --- ### Overview The **Behance Jobs Scraper** extracts structured job data from Behance job list pages, transforming raw listings into clean, queryable records. It is ideal for: - **Recruiters** building talent pools and monitoring the creative job market - **Freelancers** discovering projects matching their skills and budget expectations - **HR professionals** benchmarking creative compensation and project rates - **Market researchers** analyzing trends in design, UX, and creative hiring - **Developers** aggregating creative job data for specialized job boards Key features include flexible URL handling, configurable item limits, graceful error recovery with `ignore_url_failures`, and direct access to hiring contact information for outreach. --- ### Input Format The scraper accepts a minimal JSON configuration: ```json { "urls": [ "https://www.behance.net/joblist?tracking_source=nav20&page=2&freelanceJobId=488235" ], "ignore_url_failures": true, "max_items_per_url": 20 } ```` | Field | Description | |---|---| | `urls` | Links to Behance job list pages (supports pagination, filters, and search results) | | `max_items_per_url` | Maximum jobs collected per URL (e.g., `20`). Default: `20` | | `ignore_url_failures` | If `true`, skips failed URLs and continues the run; if `false`, stops on first failure | > **Tip:** Use Behance's built-in filters (job type, location, budget range) in the URL to pre-filter results. Paste the full filtered URL into the `urls` array for targeted scraping. *** ### Output Format **Sample output** ```json { "id": 491937, "job_type": "FREELANCE", "title": "Branding, Logo, and Poster Visual Design", "location": null, "locations": [], "budget_min": 100000, "budget_max": 250000, "salary_currency": "USD", "salary_timeframe": null, "company_name": "", "is_remote": true, "url": "https://www.behance.net/joblist/freelance/491937/Branding-Logo-and-Poster-Visual-Design", "has_applied": false, "applied_on": null, "is_saved": false, "company": null, "freelance_company_logo": null, "hiring_contact": { "display_name": "", "has_default_image": false, "images": { "all_available": [ { "url": "https://pps.services.adobe.com/api/profile/0D63579F557CB48D7F000101@AdobeID/image/092b59e9-6919-4c5a-b672-5de1d7312824/50", "width": 50, "type": "JPG" }, { "url": "https://pps.services.adobe.com/api/profile/0D63579F557CB48D7F000101@AdobeID/image/092b59e9-6919-4c5a-b672-5de1d7312824/100", "width": 100, "type": "JPG" }, { "url": "https://pps.services.adobe.com/api/profile/0D63579F557CB48D7F000101@AdobeID/image/092b59e9-6919-4c5a-b672-5de1d7312824/115", "width": 115, "type": "JPG" }, { "url": "https://pps.services.adobe.com/api/profile/0D63579F557CB48D7F000101@AdobeID/image/092b59e9-6919-4c5a-b672-5de1d7312824/230", "width": 230, "type": "JPG" }, { "url": "https://pps.services.adobe.com/api/profile/0D63579F557CB48D7F000101@AdobeID/image/092b59e9-6919-4c5a-b672-5de1d7312824/138", "width": 138, "type": "JPG" }, { "url": "https://pps.services.adobe.com/api/profile/0D63579F557CB48D7F000101@AdobeID/image/092b59e9-6919-4c5a-b672-5de1d7312824/276", "width": 276, "type": "JPG" } ] }, "recruiter_pro": { "is_active": false }, "is_verified_recruiter_organization": false, "is_commissioned_project_hirer": false, "creator_pro": { "is_active": false }, "url": "", "social_references": [] }, "from_url": "https://www.behance.net/joblist?tracking_source=nav20&page=2&freelanceJobId=488235" } ``` Each scraped job returns a comprehensive record with 18 fields: #### Job Identification & Core Details | Field | Meaning | |---|---| | `ID` | Unique Behance job identifier | | `Title` | Job or project title as displayed | | `Job Type` | Type of opportunity (e.g., freelance project, full-time, contract) | | `URL` | Direct link to the job listing on Behance | #### Location & Scope | Field | Meaning | |---|---| | `Location` | Primary job location (string) | | `Locations` | All job locations if multi-location (array) | | `Is Remote` | Whether the role is remote-eligible (true/false) | #### Compensation Details | Field | Meaning | |---|---| | `Budget Min` | Minimum budget or salary amount | | `Budget Max` | Maximum budget or salary amount | | `Salary Currency` | Currency code (e.g., USD, EUR, GBP) | | `Salary Timeframe` | Payment period (e.g., per project, hourly, annual) | #### Company & Hiring Information | Field | Meaning | |---|---| | `Company Name` | Name of the hiring organization | | `Company` | Full company metadata object | | `Freelance Company Logo` | Company logo image URL | | `Hiring Contact` | Contact details for the recruiter or hiring manager | #### Application Status | Field | Meaning | |---|---| | `Has Applied` | Whether the authenticated user has already applied (true/false) | | `Applied On` | Timestamp of application submission (if applicable) | | `Is Saved` | Whether the job is saved to the user's favorites (true/false) | *** ### How to Use 1. **Navigate to Behance jobs** — Visit [behance.net/joblist](https://www.behance.net/joblist) and apply filters (job type, location, budget, category). 2. **Copy the filtered URL** — From your filtered results page, copy the full URL including query parameters. 3. **Configure input** — Paste the URL into the `urls` array. Set `max_items_per_url` to control volume (e.g., `20`, `50`, `100`). 4. **Enable error handling** — Set `ignore_url_failures: true` for bulk scraping to avoid interruptions. 5. **Run the scraper** — Start the actor and monitor progress in the run log. 6. **Export results** — Download output as JSON, CSV, or Excel for analysis or integration. **Best practices:** - Use Behance's search filters to pre-narrow results before scraping (faster, more relevant data). - For pagination, include the `&page=` parameter in multiple URLs (e.g., page 1, 2, 3) to collect listings across multiple result sets. - Extract `Hiring Contact` for direct outreach to employers or job posters. *** ### Use Cases & Business Value - **Talent acquisition:** Identify and monitor creative hiring at competitors - **Market intelligence:** Track average freelance rates, budget trends, and skill demand in design and UX - **Freelancer research:** Build a pipeline of high-quality freelance opportunities with known budgets and contact info - **Job board aggregation:** Feed Behance listings into custom creative job boards or Slack channels - **Academic analysis:** Study hiring patterns in the creative industry by region, role, and budget The Behance Jobs Scraper eliminates hours of manual job browsing, surfacing opportunities and market insights in minutes. *** ### Conclusion The **Behance Jobs Scraper** is a powerful tool for anyone in the creative talent space — whether recruiting top designers, sourcing freelance talent, or researching the creative job market.
