## Pricing

from $0.84 / 1,000 normalized ats job postings

This Actor is paid per event and usage. You are charged both the fixed price for specific events and for Apify platform usage.
Since this Actor supports Apify Store discounts, the price gets lower the higher subscription plan you have.

## What's an Apify Actor?

An Actor is a serverless cloud program that runs on the Apify platform. It has two run modes.
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.

Apify vocabulary and the platform model are defined once, in the agent quickstart at https://apify.com/agents.md.

## 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.

Do not guess an integration path. Every one of them is in the agent quickstart at https://apify.com/agents.md: the Apify MCP server, Agent Skills with the Apify CLI, the JavaScript and Python clients, the REST API, and the account-free path for an agent with no human to sign in. It also carries the rule on stating cost before the first paid run.

For examples already wired to this Actor's own input schema, see the [API](#api) section below.

Each client library has reference documentation the quickstart does not restate: [JavaScript/TypeScript](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/js/docs.md) (`npm install apify-client`) and [Python](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/python/docs.md) (`pip install apify-client`).

# README

## Career Site & ATS Job Listing API — Greenhouse, Lever & Ashby (MCP Ready)

Extract real-time job postings, department hiring velocity, and remote work signals directly from company Applicant Tracking Systems (**Greenhouse, Lever, and Ashby**) in `< 1 second` per board without browser overhead or Google Jobs anti-bot failures.

***

### Use Cases

- **B2B Sales Hiring Signals:** Identify companies actively hiring for specific roles or departments (e.g., `"security"`, `"data engineer"`, `"revops"`, `"sales"`) to time your B2B outreach right when budget is approved.
- **Job Aggregators & Niche Job Boards:** Populate vertical job boards with clean, structured, direct-to-ATS application links (`greenhouse.io`, `lever.co`, `ashbyhq.com`) with 100% uptime.
- **Competitive Talent Intelligence:** Track headcount expansion across engineering, GTM, and AI teams at competitor companies.
- **AI Agent Research (`/mcp`):** Give AI SDR and recruiting agents live access to open roles via Apify Standby MCP (`extract_ats_job_postings`).

## MCP server setup

```json
{
    "mcpServers": {
        "apify": {
            "type": "http",
            "url": "https://mcp.apify.com/?tools=fetch-actor-details,apexsignal/ats-career-job-listing-api"

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).
