## 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

## UKG Pro Recruiting Jobs Scraper

Export public jobs from employer career sites hosted on **UKG Pro Recruiting** (formerly UltiPro).
Provide one or more `recruiting.ultipro.com` job board URLs and receive normalized employer-board and job records ready for spreadsheets, databases, alerts, and recruiting workflows.

The Actor uses the public UKG job-search and detail surfaces directly.
It does not require an employer account, browser automation, or a proxy for currently supported public boards.

### What does UKG Pro Recruiting Jobs Scraper do?

This Actor turns public UKG Pro employer job boards into structured records.
It can:

- validate one or more public UKG Pro job board URLs;
- search every supplied board with the same keyword query;
- paginate through matching jobs;
- export stable opportunity IDs and requisition numbers;
- normalize employer categories, dates, employment flags, and locations;
- fetch full job-description HTML and readable text;
- preserve canonical board and job-detail URLs;
- emit an employer-board summary for each processed source;
- limit output across multiple boards for predictable recurring runs.

It is designed for repeatable collection rather than one-off HTML copying.

### Who is this UKG Pro jobs data for?

#### Job aggregators

Sync openings from employers that use UKG Pro without building a separate parser for each career site.
Stable board and opportunity identifiers help with deduplication and closed-job detection.

#### Recruiters and staffing teams

Monitor target employers, search for role families, and route new matching jobs into a CRM or outreach workflow.

#### Sales intelligence teams

Use hiring activity, categories, and locations as account signals.
A new operations, engineering, or sales opening can trigger account research.

#### Labor-market analysts

Collect dated job records from multiple employer boards for longitudinal analysis, location trends, and category counts.

#### Data and automation engineers

Feed normalized JSON into a warehouse, webhook, Zapier flow, Make scenario, or scheduled Apify Task.

### Why use this Actor?

- **HTTP-first:** no browser startup or page rendering is required.
- **Public data path:** current supported boards expose anonymous search and detail records.
- **Full descriptions:** optional enrichment provides both original HTML and normalized text.
- **Multi-board input:** one run can process several employer boards.
- **Consistent filters:** the keyword query applies to every source.
- **Stable identity:** each record includes tenant, board, and opportunity identifiers.
- **Bounded retries:** temporary network, rate-limit, and server failures are retried conservatively.
- **Typed output:** challenge pages and unexpected payloads fail visibly instead of appearing as empty success.

### What UKG Pro job data can I extract?

| Field | Meaning |
| --- | --- |
| `recordType` | `board` or `job` |
| `jobId` | Stable UKG opportunity ID for a job |
| `title` | Public job title |
| `requisitionNumber` | Employer requisition number, when published |
| `postedDate` | Job posting timestamp |
| `updatedDate` | Detail-model update timestamp, when exposed |
| `fullTime` | UKG full-time flag |
| `hoursPerWeek` | Published weekly hours, when available |
| `salaried` | Detail-model salaried flag |
| `category` | Employer job category |
| `opportunityType` | Numeric UKG opportunity-type code |
| `jobLocationType` | Numeric UKG location-type code |
| `briefDescription` | Search-result summary |
| `descriptionHtml` | Full original description HTML |
| `descriptionText` | Cleaned plain-text description |
| `equalOpportunityEmployerHtml` | Published EEO statement |
| `locations` | Normalized names, addresses, and coordinates |
| `detailUrl` | Canonical public opportunity URL |
| `employerName` | Employer name from board branding |
| `totalJobs` | Total active jobs reported by the board before local keyword filtering |
| `tenantId` | UKG tenant identifier |
| `boardId` | UKG board UUID |
| `sourceUrl` | Canonical employer-board URL |
| `scrapedAt` | Collection timestamp |

Fields that the employer does not publish are returned as `null`.
Description-only fields are `null` when `includeDescriptions` is disabled.

### How to scrape a UKG Pro job board

1. Open an employer career page hosted at `recruiting.ultipro.com`.
2. Copy the URL containing `/{tenant}/JobBoard/{boardId}`.
3. Add it to **UKG Pro job board URLs**.
4. Optionally enter a keyword such as `engineer` or `operations`.
5. Choose the maximum number of job records.
6. Keep **Fetch full job descriptions** enabled for enriched records, or disable it for a faster listing sync.
7. Click **Start**.
8. Open the default dataset and export JSON, CSV, Excel, XML, or RSS.

A verified input is prefilled, so a first run can be started without finding another board.

### Input parameters

#### `startUrls`

Required array of public UKG Pro Recruiting board URLs.
Accepted URLs use this form:

```text
https://recruiting.ultipro.com/{tenant}/JobBoard/{boardId}/
```

Opportunity-detail URLs from the same board are normalized back to their board source.
Other hosts and malformed board paths are rejected.
Duplicate board URLs are processed once.

#### `query`

Optional case-insensitive keyword query applied consistently to title, requisition number, category, brief description, and normalized location text on every supplied board.
Leave it empty to collect all active jobs visible on each board.

#### `maxJobs`

Maximum number of **job** records across all supplied boards.
The range is 1–10,000 and the default is 100.
Board summary records do not consume this limit.

#### `includeDescriptions`

When `true`, the Actor opens each public opportunity detail page and adds full description, update, hours, salary-mode, and EEO fields.
When `false`, it uses only the faster job-search response.

#### `emitBoardRecords`

When `true`, one summary is emitted for each processed board.
The summary includes employer branding and the source-reported matching-job count.

#### `maxConcurrency`

Controls simultaneous detail requests from 1 to 10.
The default of 5 balances throughput and source load.
Lower it for especially large recurring runs or conservative source access.

### Input example

```json
{
  "startUrls": [
    {
      "url": "https://recruiting.ultipro.com/AAL1000AIPSA/JobBoard/90e3e14e-26e3-46c0-affc-329a34699e20/"
    }
  ],
  "query": "operations",
  "maxJobs": 25,
  "includeDescriptions": true,
  "emitBoardRecords": true,
  "maxConcurrency": 3
}
```

### Output example

The default dataset contains both entity types.
A current job record has this shape:

```json
{
  "recordType": "job",
  "jobId": "c08a7722-ae94-4304-b790-531867e53eb0",
  "title": "Foundry Night Shift Operations Manager",
  "requisitionNumber": "FOUND001135",
  "postedDate": "2026-07-23T14:00:48.916Z",
  "updatedDate": "2026-07-23T14:00:42.017Z",
  "fullTime": true,
  "salaried": true,
  "category": "Operations",
  "briefDescription": "As a full-time Operations Manager...",
  "descriptionHtml": "<p>Ready to change the future, your way?</p>",
  "descriptionText": "Ready to change the future, your way?",
  "locations": [
    {
      "description": "Pageland - Bypass",
      "address": {
        "city": "Pageland",
        "stateCode": "SC",
        "countryCode": "USA"
      }
    }
  ],
  "detailUrl": "https://recruiting.ultipro.com/AAL1000AIPSA/JobBoard/90e3e14e-26e3-46c0-affc-329a34699e20/OpportunityDetail?opportunityId=c08a7722-ae94-4304-b790-531867e53eb0",
  "tenantId": "AAL1000AIPSA",
  "boardId": "90e3e14e-26e3-46c0-affc-329a34699e20",
  "sourceUrl": "https://recruiting.ultipro.com/AAL1000AIPSA/JobBoard/90e3e14e-26e3-46c0-affc-329a34699e20/",
  "scrapedAt": "2026-07-27T00:00:00.000Z"
}
```

The source controls the accuracy of published addresses and coordinates.
Preserving the original `sourceUrl` and `detailUrl` makes source verification straightforward.

### How much does it cost to scrape UKG Pro jobs?

Pay-per-event pricing has two parts:

- **$0.005** when a valid run starts;
- **$0.000041071 per saved record** on the FREE tier, with lower per-record rates on higher Apify tiers.

Both job and board summary rows use the same `item` charge event.
There is no separate charge for fetching descriptions.

Examples at the FREE-tier record rate:

| Workflow | Saved records | Estimated charge |
| --- | ---: | ---: |
| One board and 10 jobs | 11 | about $0.0055 |
| One board and 100 jobs | 101 | about $0.0091 |
| Five boards and 500 jobs | 505 | about $0.0257 |

These examples include the run-start event and board records.
Actual billed rates follow your active Apify pricing tier and the run's charged-event counts.
Set `emitBoardRecords` to `false` if downstream systems need only jobs.

### Build recurring job monitoring workflows

#### Detect newly opened and closed roles

Schedule the Actor daily.
Use `boardId + jobId` as the stable key, compare each dataset with the previous run, and classify additions and removals.

#### Route jobs to recruiters

Filter `title`, `category`, `locations`, or `descriptionText` after extraction.
Send matching records to a CRM, Slack channel, email workflow, or candidate-sourcing queue.

#### Create hiring-intent signals

Aggregate jobs by employer, category, and location.
A sustained increase in openings can become an account-prioritization or market-research signal.

#### Maintain a job warehouse

Store immutable snapshots with `scrapedAt` and upsert current entities by `boardId + jobId`.
Retain `postedDate` from the source separately from collection time.

### Tips for reliable runs

- Start with `maxJobs` between 25 and 100 while validating a new board.
- Disable descriptions when only IDs, titles, dates, categories, and locations are needed.
- Keep the default concurrency unless a board is unusually large.
- Use a precise keyword only when the source board visibly supports matching results.
- Keep the canonical board URL in your task input rather than a redirecting employer careers URL.
- Compare records by source IDs, not by mutable title text.
- Treat `totalJobs` as the source-reported active count before local keyword filtering.

### Limits and failure behavior

The Actor supports public boards hosted on `recruiting.ultipro.com` with the standard UKG Pro Recruiting job-board routes.
It does not log in, submit applications, access candidate information, or bypass private boards.

A board may return fewer records than its unfiltered total when a query is used.
Employers can omit optional fields.
Location coordinates are passed through from UKG and can represent a broad geographic centroid rather than a street address.

Malformed URLs fail before charging starts.
A stable 4xx response, challenge page, or unrecognized JSON/detail model fails visibly.
Temporary network errors, HTTP 429 responses, and temporary 5xx responses receive bounded retries.

### Use UKG Pro jobs with the Apify API

Replace `YOUR_APIFY_TOKEN` with an Apify API token.

#### cURL

```bash
curl -X POST \
  "https://api.apify.com/v2/acts/automation-lab~ukg-pro-recruiting-jobs-scraper/runs?token=YOUR_APIFY_TOKEN" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{
    "startUrls": [{"url": "https://recruiting.ultipro.com/AAL1000AIPSA/JobBoard/90e3e14e-26e3-46c0-affc-329a34699e20/"}],
    "maxJobs": 25,
    "includeDescriptions": true
  }'
```

#### JavaScript

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

const client = new ApifyClient({ token: process.env.APIFY_TOKEN });
const run = await client.actor('automation-lab/ukg-pro-recruiting-jobs-scraper').call({
  startUrls: [{
    url: 'https://recruiting.ultipro.com/AAL1000AIPSA/JobBoard/90e3e14e-26e3-46c0-affc-329a34699e20/'
  }],
  query: 'operations',
  maxJobs: 25,
  includeDescriptions: true
});

const { items } = await client.dataset(run.defaultDatasetId).listItems();
console.log(items);
```

#### Python

```python
import os
from apify_client import ApifyClient

client = ApifyClient(os.environ['APIFY_TOKEN'])
run = client.actor('automation-lab/ukg-pro-recruiting-jobs-scraper').call(run_input={
    'startUrls': [{
        'url': 'https://recruiting.ultipro.com/AAL1000AIPSA/JobBoard/90e3e14e-26e3-46c0-affc-329a34699e20/'
    }],
    'maxJobs': 25,
    'includeDescriptions': True,
})

for item in client.dataset(run['defaultDatasetId']).iterate_items():
    print(item)
```

### Use UKG Pro jobs through MCP

Add the Actor to Claude Code through Apify's MCP server:

```bash
claude mcp add --transport http apify \
  "https://mcp.apify.com?tools=automation-lab/ukg-pro-recruiting-jobs-scraper"
```

#### Claude Desktop setup

Add the following remote MCP server configuration to Claude Desktop:

```json
{
  "mcpServers": {
    "apify": {
      "url": "https://mcp.apify.com?tools=automation-lab/ukg-pro-recruiting-jobs-scraper"
    }
  }
}
```

#### Cursor setup

In Cursor, add the same `apify` server URL under **Settings → MCP → Add server**.

#### VS Code setup

In VS Code with MCP support, add the same `apify` server URL to the workspace or user MCP configuration, then enable the server.

Example prompts:

- "Extract the latest 50 jobs from this UKG Pro board and group them by category."
- "Find operations jobs on this UKG employer board and summarize required experience."
- "Compare these UKG job records with yesterday's dataset and list newly opened roles."

### Integrations

The default dataset works with:

- Apify Schedules and Tasks for recurring collection;
- webhooks for run-completion notifications;
- Google Sheets and Microsoft Excel exports;
- Zapier and Make for no-code routing;
- Slack, email, and CRM automations;
- BigQuery, Snowflake, PostgreSQL, and other warehouse loaders;
- custom applications through `apify-client`.

For production monitoring, save the run ID and default dataset ID with every import batch.

### Is scraping public UKG Pro jobs legal?

This Actor collects information that employers make publicly accessible on their recruiting boards.
Public availability does not remove your responsibilities.

Use the data for lawful purposes, respect applicable terms and website policies, minimize request frequency, and comply with privacy, employment, anti-discrimination, copyright, and database-rights rules in your jurisdiction.
Do not use the Actor to access private candidate data, submit applications automatically, impersonate people, or make solely automated employment decisions.
When in doubt, obtain legal advice for your use case.

### Frequently asked questions

#### Does this Actor require a UKG account?

No for supported public employer boards.
The Actor does not accept or use candidate or employer credentials.

#### Does it support UltiPro URLs?

Yes.
UKG Pro Recruiting continues to use the `recruiting.ultipro.com` host for many public employer boards.

#### Why is `descriptionText` null?

Enable `includeDescriptions`.
Listing-only mode intentionally skips opportunity detail pages and returns the brief search description instead.

#### Why did my board URL fail?

Confirm that it uses HTTPS, the `recruiting.ultipro.com` host, and a path containing both the tenant and `/JobBoard/{UUID}`.
A general employer careers page is not a UKG board URL.

#### Why are there board rows in my job dataset?

Board summaries provide employer identity and source totals.
Filter on `recordType == "job"`, or set `emitBoardRecords` to `false`.

#### Can I use several boards in one run?

Yes.
Add each canonical board URL to `startUrls`; `maxJobs` applies across the full run.

#### Does it detect closed jobs?

It exports the current public result set.
Schedule runs and compare stable IDs to detect records that disappear between snapshots.

#### Are descriptions plain text or HTML?

With enrichment enabled, both are included.
Use `descriptionHtml` to preserve formatting and `descriptionText` for search, NLP, and exports.
