## What's an Apify Actor?

An Actor is a serverless cloud program that runs on the Apify platform. It has two run modes.
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.

Apify vocabulary and the platform model are defined once, in the agent quickstart at https://apify.com/agents.md.

## 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.

Do not guess an integration path. Every one of them is in the agent quickstart at https://apify.com/agents.md: the Apify MCP server, Agent Skills with the Apify CLI, the JavaScript and Python clients, the REST API, and the account-free path for an agent with no human to sign in. It also carries the rule on stating cost before the first paid run.

For examples already wired to this Actor's own input schema, see the [API](#api) section below.

Each client library has reference documentation the quickstart does not restate: [JavaScript/TypeScript](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/js/docs.md) (`npm install apify-client`) and [Python](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/python/docs.md) (`pip install apify-client`).

# README

## Free-Work Jobs & Freelance Missions Scraper

Scrape every IT job and freelance mission from [Free-Work](https://www.free-work.com), the leading French tech job board (around 10,000 live postings), and get clean structured data: daily rates, salaries, skills, remote mode and location, ready for a spreadsheet, an alert or an API.

### What you can do with it

- **Track the French freelance market**: daily rates by skill, city and seniority.
- **Feed a job alert or a job board**: run it daily with "Published within 1 day" and get only the new postings.
- **Find companies that are hiring**: which firms and IT consultancies recruit for a given technology right now.
- **Benchmark salaries**: permanent salary ranges and freelance daily rates side by side.

### Input

| Field | What it does |
|---|---|
| Keywords | Job title, skill or technology, for example `data engineer` or `python`. Empty means every posting. |
| Contract types | Freelance mission, permanent, fixed-term, apprenticeship, internship. Empty means all. |
| Remote work | Any, full remote, hybrid or on site. |
| Published within (days) | Keep only recent postings. Use `1` for a daily monitoring run. |
| Maximum number of postings | The run stops once this many postings are saved. |
| Include full descriptions | Adds the description, candidate profile and company description as plain text. |

### Output

One record per posting:

}
```

Export the dataset as JSON, CSV or Excel, or read it through the Apify API.

### Good to know

- Postings come newest first, so a date-limited run stops early and stays cheap.
- No browser and no proxy needed: runs are fast and reliable.
- The dataset contains job postings only. Recruiter contact details are never exported.

# API

You can run this Actor programmatically using our API. Below are code examples in JavaScript, Python, and CLI, as well as the OpenAPI specification and MCP server setup.

## JavaScript example

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

// Initialize the ApifyClient with your Apify API token
// Replace the '<YOUR_API_TOKEN>' with your token
const client = new ApifyClient({
    token: '<YOUR_API_TOKEN>',
});

// Prepare Actor input
const input = {};

// Run the Actor and wait for it to finish
const run = await client.actor("bibian/free-work-jobs-scraper").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();
items.forEach((item) => {
    console.dir(item);
});

# Initialize the ApifyClient with your Apify API token
# Replace '<YOUR_API_TOKEN>' with your token.
client = ApifyClient("<YOUR_API_TOKEN>")

# Prepare the Actor input
run_input = {}

# Run the Actor and wait for it to finish
run = client.actor("bibian/free-work-jobs-scraper").call(run_input=run_input)

# Fetch and print Actor results from the run's dataset (if there are any)
print(f"💾 Check your data here: https://console.apify.com/storage/datasets/{run.default_dataset_id}")
for item in client.dataset(run.default_dataset_id).iterate_items():
    print(item)

## CLI example

```bash
echo '{}' |
apify call bibian/free-work-jobs-scraper --silent --output-dataset

```

## MCP server setup

```json
{
    "mcpServers": {
        "apify": {
            "type": "http",
            "url": "https://mcp.apify.com/?tools=fetch-actor-details,bibian/free-work-jobs-scraper"
        }
    }
}
```

The hosted server signs you in with OAuth on first connect, so no API token belongs in this config. Clients without OAuth support can send an `Authorization: Bearer <APIFY_API_TOKEN>` header instead, using a token from API & Integrations in Apify Console (https://console.apify.com/settings/integrations).
