## 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.

For more details, see Apify documentation as [Markdown index](https://docs.apify.com/llms.txt) and [Markdown full-text](https://docs.apify.com/llms-full.txt).


# README

## Multi-ATS Job Postings & Hiring-Signal Scraper

Pull job postings from **Greenhouse, Lever, Ashby, and SmartRecruiters** into **one unified schema**, and get **hiring signals** per company: department breakdown, locations, remote %, and how fast they're hiring.

Most job scrapers cover a single ATS and just dump raw postings. This one **normalizes four ATS platforms into one format** and adds the analytics layer that sales-intelligence, recruiting, and market-research teams actually pay for.

Data comes from each vendor's **official public JSON API** — no API key, no login, no proxy, no anti-bot. That makes it fast and **near-zero maintenance**: these endpoints rarely change.

### What you get

**Per job** (unified across all four ATS):

```json
{
  "ats": "ashby",
  "company": "ramp",
  "id": "03e2d4e1-...",
  "title": "Technical Consultant, Mid-Market",
  "department": "Sales",
  "team": "Solutions Consulting",
  "location": "Remote (US)",
  "remote": true,
  "employmentType": "FullTime",
  "publishedAt": "2026-07-07T20:47:09.753Z",
  "url": "https://jobs.ashbyhq.com/ramp/03e2d4e1-..."
}
````

**Per company** (hiring signal summary):

```json
{
  "type": "company_signal",
  "company": "spotify",
  "ats": "lever",
  "totalOpenRoles": 110,
  "remoteRoles": 30,
  "remoteShare": 27,
  "rolesPostedLast30Days": 32,
  "newestPostingAt": "2026-07-09T...",
  "topDepartments": [{ "name": "Engineering", "count": 39 }, ...],
  "topLocations": [{ "name": "London", "count": 14 }, ...]
}
```

### How to find a company's token

The token is the identifier in a company's careers URL:

| ATS | Careers URL example | Token | Input |
|---|---|---|---|
| Greenhouse | `boards.greenhouse.io/stripe` | `stripe` | `greenhouse:stripe` |
| Lever | `jobs.lever.co/spotify` | `spotify` | `lever:spotify` |
| Ashby | `jobs.ashbyhq.com/ramp` | `ramp` | `ashby:ramp` |
| SmartRecruiters | `jobs.smartrecruiters.com/Visa` | `Visa` | `smartrecruiters:Visa` |

### Input

| Field | Type | Description |
|---|---|---|
| `companies` | array **(required)** | `"<ats>:<company>"` entries, e.g. `"greenhouse:stripe"` |
| `keywords` | array | Keep roles whose title (or body, if included) matches |
| `locations` | array | Keep roles whose location contains a substring |
| `departments` | array | Keep roles in matching departments |
| `remoteOnly` | boolean | Remote-flagged roles only |
| `postedWithinDays` | integer | Only roles posted in the last N days (hiring-velocity monitoring) |
| `includeDescription` | boolean | Include full role text (bigger output) |
| `signalsOnly` | boolean | Output only the per-company summary, no individual rows |

#### Example: monitor competitors' engineering hiring, last 30 days

```json
{
  "companies": ["greenhouse:stripe", "lever:spotify", "ashby:ramp"],
  "departments": ["Engineering"],
  "postedWithinDays": 30
}
```

### Use cases

- **Sales intelligence** — a company hiring 40 salespeople signals budget and expansion. Feed signals into your CRM.
- **Competitive intel** — track which departments and locations competitors are growing.
- **Recruiting / talent** — a fresh, deduplicated feed of open roles across your target companies.
- **AI agents (MCP)** — "What is company X hiring for right now?" is one clean tool call with flat JSON back.
- **Market research** — hiring velocity as a leading indicator across a sector.

### Pricing (pay-per-event)

| Event | Price |
|---|---|
| Actor start | $0.005 |
| Company processed (with signals) | $0.01 |
| Job row saved | $0.00015 |

Scanning 10 companies with ~2,000 total roles ≈ $0.005 + $0.10 + $0.30 = **~$0.40**. Use `signalsOnly` to pay only per company when you just need the aggregates.

### Honest notes

- Covers companies hosted on these four ATS platforms. It does not scrape LinkedIn, Indeed, or company career pages built on other systems.
- Uses official public endpoints only. No login, no personal data, no anti-bot evasion.
- `includeDescription` isn't available for SmartRecruiters in this version (would need a per-role call).
- All source-specific logic lives in `src/ats.js` — the only file to touch if an ATS ever changes its format. Adding a new ATS = one function.

# Actor input Schema

## `companies` (type: `array`):

List of companies in the form "<ats>:<company>". Supported ATS: greenhouse, lever, ashby, smartrecruiters. The <company> is the token in the careers-page URL (e.g. boards.greenhouse.io/stripe -> stripe).

## `keywords` (type: `array`):

Keep only roles whose title (or description, if included) contains a keyword. Case-insensitive. Empty = all roles.

## `locations` (type: `array`):

Keep only roles whose location contains one of these substrings (e.g. "London", "US", "Berlin").

## `departments` (type: `array`):

Keep only roles in matching departments (e.g. "Engineering", "Sales").

## `remoteOnly` (type: `boolean`):

Keep only roles flagged remote.

## `postedWithinDays` (type: `integer`):

Keep only roles published within the last N days (great for hiring-velocity monitoring). Empty = no cutoff.

## `includeDescription` (type: `boolean`):

Include each role's full text (larger output, enables keyword search inside the body). Not available for SmartRecruiters in this version.

## `signalsOnly` (type: `boolean`):

Output only the per-company hiring-signal summary (departments, locations, remote %, velocity), not individual job rows.

## `useProxy` (type: `boolean`):

Route requests through Apify Proxy. Rarely needed — these are official APIs.

## `proxyConfiguration` (type: `object`):

Advanced proxy settings (overrides 'Use Apify Proxy'). Rarely needed — these are official APIs.

## Actor input object example

```json
{
  "companies": [
    "greenhouse:gitlab",
    "lever:spotify"
  ],
  "keywords": [],
  "locations": [],
  "departments": [],
  "remoteOnly": false,
  "includeDescription": false,
  "signalsOnly": false,
  "useProxy": false
}
```

// Run the Actor and wait for it to finish
const run = await client.actor("ax_dev/multi-ats-hiring-signals").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();
