## 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

## Hiring Signal Monitor

Watch public **Greenhouse**, **Lever**, **Ashby**, and **Workable** boards and return **only new job postings** since the last run. Designed for scheduled runs and webhook alerts.

Snapshots are stored in a named key-value store (`hiring-signal-snapshots`) on your account, so consecutive runs correctly diff without duplicates.

### Input

| Field | Required | Description |
|---|---|---|
| watchlist | yes | `[{ "ats": "greenhouse", "board_token": "airbnb" }, ...]` |
| since | no | ISO date/datetime — drop new-vs-snapshot jobs with older `posted_at` |
| webhookUrl | no | POST `{ new_jobs, count, checked_at }` when new jobs are found |
| timeoutSeconds | no | HTTP timeout (default 20) |

### Output example

First run stores a baseline and emits **no** jobs. Later runs emit only new postings:

```json
{
  "company": "airbnb",
  "board_token": "airbnb",
  "job_title": "Software Engineer",
  "department": "Engineering",
  "location": "Remote",
  "remote": true,
  "url": "https://boards.greenhouse.io/airbnb/jobs/123",
  "posted_at": "2026-07-20T00:00:00.000Z",
  "ats": "greenhouse",
  "detected_at": "2026-07-26T00:00:00.000Z",
  "is_new": true
}
```

### Cost

- Actor start: **$0.02**
- Per company checked: **$0.01**
- Typical 10-company scheduled run: **~$0.12**

### Limitations

- Public boards only — no authenticated ATS access.
- First run per board is a baseline (no “new” jobs until the next run).
- Job identity is primarily the posting URL.

# API

You can run this Actor programmatically using our API. Below are code examples in JavaScript, Python, and CLI, as well as the OpenAPI specification and MCP server setup.

## JavaScript example

```javascript
import { ApifyClient } from 'apify-client';

// Initialize the ApifyClient with your Apify API token
// Replace the '<YOUR_API_TOKEN>' with your token
const client = new ApifyClient({
    token: '<YOUR_API_TOKEN>',
});

// Prepare Actor input
const input = {
    "watchlist": [
        {
            "ats": "greenhouse",
            "board_token": "airbnb"
        },
        {
            "ats": "lever",
            "board_token": "netflix"
        }
    ]
};

// Run the Actor and wait for it to finish
const run = await client.actor("andok/hiring-signal-monitor").call(input);

// Fetch and print Actor results from the run's dataset (if any)
console.log('Results from dataset');
console.log(`💾 Check your data here: https://console.apify.com/storage/datasets/${run.defaultDatasetId}`);
const { items } = await client.dataset(run.defaultDatasetId).listItems();
items.forEach((item) => {
    console.dir(item);
});

## Python example

```python
from apify_client import ApifyClient

# Initialize the ApifyClient with your Apify API token
# Replace '<YOUR_API_TOKEN>' with your token.
client = ApifyClient("<YOUR_API_TOKEN>")

# Prepare the Actor input
run_input = { "watchlist": [
        {
            "ats": "greenhouse",
            "board_token": "airbnb",
        },
        {
            "ats": "lever",
            "board_token": "netflix",
        },
    ] }

# Run the Actor and wait for it to finish
run = client.actor("andok/hiring-signal-monitor").call(run_input=run_input)

# Fetch and print Actor results from the run's dataset (if there are any)
print(f"💾 Check your data here: https://console.apify.com/storage/datasets/{run.default_dataset_id}")
for item in client.dataset(run.default_dataset_id).iterate_items():
    print(item)

## CLI example

```bash
echo '{
  "watchlist": [
    {
      "ats": "greenhouse",
      "board_token": "airbnb"
    },
    {
      "ats": "lever",
      "board_token": "netflix"
    }
  ]
}' |
apify call andok/hiring-signal-monitor --silent --output-dataset

```

## MCP server setup

```json
{
    "mcpServers": {
        "apify": {
            "type": "http",
            "url": "https://mcp.apify.com/?tools=fetch-actor-details,andok/hiring-signal-monitor"
        }
    }
}

```

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).
