## 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).

## Glassdoor Scraper

**Collect Glassdoor job listings by URL — with company, location, salary, and full descriptions.**

Browse Glassdoor the way you do in your browser and get the results back as clean, structured data.
Paste a Glassdoor jobs URL — a search page or an employer's jobs page — and export job title,
company location, salary, posting age, and the full job description to JSON, CSV, or Excel.

### 💡 Use cases

- Build and refresh a job board for a niche or region.
- Track hiring trends, salary ranges, and demand for specific roles.
- Feed structured job data into recruiting, sourcing, or market-research pipelines.
- Monitor companies' open roles over time.

### ❓ FAQ

- **Do I need a proxy?** Yes. Glassdoor uses aggressive anti-bot protection; the Actor defaults to Apify residential proxies for reliable results.
- **Which URLs can I use?** Any Glassdoor jobs page — a search results page (`/Job/...`) or an employer jobs page (`/Jobs/...`). Just paste it from your browser.
- **How many jobs can I get?** Use `maxItems` to set how many jobs to collect per start URL. The Actor follows pagination automatically.

# Actor input Schema

## `startUrls` (type: `array`):

One or more Glassdoor job listing URLs to scrape. Paste a Glassdoor jobs URL from your browser, for example https://www.glassdoor.com/Job/new-york-software-engineer-jobs-SRCH\_IL.0,8\_IC1132348\_KO9,26.htm or an employer jobs page like https://www.glassdoor.com/Jobs/Example-Jobs-E12345.htm.

## `scrapeJobDetails` (type: `boolean`):

When enabled, each job is opened to collect the full job description. When disabled, only the data shown on the search results card is collected.

## `maxItems` (type: `integer`):

Maximum number of jobs to collect for each job listing URL.

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

Proxy settings used for requests. Glassdoor uses aggressive anti-bot protection, so running with Apify residential proxies is strongly recommended.

## Actor input object example

```json
{
  "startUrls": [
    {
      "url": "https://www.glassdoor.com/Job/new-york-software-engineer-jobs-SRCH_IL.0,8_IC1132348_KO9,26.htm"
    }
  ],
  "scrapeJobDetails": true,
  "maxItems": 5,
  "proxyConfiguration": {
    "useApifyProxy": true,
    "apifyProxyGroups": [
      "RESIDENTIAL"
    ]
