## 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).

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.

```

### Use Cases

- **Job aggregators** — feed your site with fresh listings
- **B2B lead generation** — companies hiring = companies with budget

- **Market intelligence** — track hiring trends in your industry
- **Competitor analysis** — see what roles competitors are hiring for
- **Sales prospecting** — personalize outreach with current hiring signals

### Pricing

- **$0.002 per job** ($2 per 1,000 jobs)
- Pay only for unique jobs extracted
- Empty or duplicate results are free

### How it works

Builds Indeed search URL from your keywords and location, paginates with `?start=10&start=20...`, scrapes each page through Thunderbit's rendering engine, deduplicates identical jobs by title+company+location fingerprint.

Typical coverage:

- 1 page → ~15-30 jobs
- 3 pages → ~50-90 jobs
- 10 pages → ~150-300 jobs

### Tips

- Use `sortBy: date` for the freshest listings
- Use `deduplicateCompanies: true` when building prospect lists for B2B outreach
- Start with `maxPages: 3` to validate your query, then scale up
- Popular cities give more results than small towns
- Combine **Indeed + LinkedIn + Glassdoor** by running multiple actors for full market coverage
