Output fields

Every row carries featureType (job_search | job_details | company_jobs | scrape_by_url), scrapedAt, and url, plus:

job_id, job_url, title, company, company_url, location, salary, job_type, industry, snippet, description_text, description_html, posted_date, start_date, duration, reference, apply_url, agency_logo_url, search_keyword / company_query, position, detailsFetched, pageType (URL rows).

Filter dataset views by featureType (see the OUTPUT tab: Overview, Search, Details, Company Jobs, Scrape By URL).

Webhooks

Set webhookUrl (+ webhookFormat) and every saved row is also POSTed there:

• JSON — the full record object, ready for Zapier / Make / n8n / your own receiver.
• Slack — a compact hiring alert (:briefcase: Title • Company • Location • Salary + link).

Delivery is fire-and-forget: a failed push never stops the run or the dataset write.

MCP / AI-agent usage

Run this Actor through the Apify MCP server so your agent can query live jobs conversationally.

Example question your agent can answer with it:

"Find live contract Python developer jobs in London posted in the last 3 days, with full descriptions and advertised rates."

FAQ

Which proxies should I use? Residential proxies in the market country (GB for UK searches, US for US searches) give the most reliable results at scale. The default configuration already does this.

How does the free trial work? Free Apify plans receive the first 2 results of a run, then the run finishes gracefully with an upgrade hint. Paid plans are uncapped.

How fresh is the data? Every run collects live listings at that moment — titles, rates, and posting dates reflect what employers have advertised right now.

Do I get the full job description? Enable Enrich with full job details (search/company rows, merged in place) or use Job Details / Scrape By URL for specific postings.

Will partial results ever be dropped? No. Every discovered job is saved. If a full-details fetch fails for one row, the search card is still saved with a note in the logs.
