## 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
### What does Jobbird Scraper do?
Jobbird Scraper extracts structured job data from [jobbird.com](https://jobbird.com) — including salary data, company metadata, full descriptions, and skill tags. It supports keyword search, location filters, and controllable result limits, so you can run the same query consistently over time. The actor also offers detail enrichment (full descriptions and company metadata) where the source provides them, incremental monitoring that only returns new or changed results on recurring runs, and a compact output mode for AI-agent and MCP workflows.
### What data can you extract from jobbird.com?
Each result includes Core listing fields (`jobId`, `title`, `location`, `locationUrl`, `salaryMin`, `salaryMax`, `salaryType`, and `employmentType`, and more), detail fields when enrichment is enabled (`benefits` and `description`), and company metadata (`company`, `companyId`, and `companyUrl`). In standard mode, all fields are always present — unavailable data points are returned as `null`, never omitted. In compact mode, only core fields are returned.
Enable detail enrichment in the input to get richer fields such as full descriptions and company metadata where the source provides them.
### Input
The main inputs are a search keyword, an optional location filter, and a result limit. Additional filters and options are available in the input schema.
Key parameters:
- **`query`** — Job search keywords.
- **`location`** — City or region in the Netherlands.
- **`radius`** — Search radius around the location in kilometres. (default: `30`)
- **`category`** — Filter by category slug (e.g. 'ict-automatisering').
- **`contractType`** — Filter by contract type (e.g. 'fulltime', 'parttime', 'temporary').
- **`sortBy`** — Sort order for results. (default: `"date"`)
- **`maxResults`** — Maximum total results (0 = unlimited). (default: `25`)
- **`includeDetails`** — Fetch full job details (description, skills, benefits, salary, hours). (default: `true`)
- **`descriptionMaxLength`** — Truncate description to N chars. 0 = no truncation. (default: `0`)
- **`compact`** — Core fields only (for AI-agent/MCP workflows). (default: `false`)
- **`incrementalMode`** — Compare against previous run state and emit only new/changed jobs. (default: `false`)
- **`stateKey`** — Stable identifier for tracked universe (required when incrementalMode is true).
#### Input example
```json
{
"query": "software engineer",
"radius": 30,
"sortBy": "date",
"maxResults": 5,
"includeDetails": true,
"descriptionMaxLength": 0,
"compact": false,
"incrementalMode": false
}
````
### Output
Each run produces a dataset of structured job records. Results can be downloaded as JSON, CSV, or Excel from the Dataset tab in Apify Console.

### How to scrape jobbird.com
1. Go to [Jobbird Scraper](https://apify.com/blackfalcondata/jobbird-scraper) in Apify Console.
2. Enter a search keyword and optional location filter.
3. Set `maxResults` to control how many results you need.
4. Enable `includeDetails` if you need full descriptions, contact info, or company data.
5. Click **Start** and wait for the run to finish.
6. Export the dataset as JSON, CSV, or Excel.
### Use cases
- Extract job data from jobbird.com for market research and competitive analysis.
- Track salary trends across regions and categories over time.
- Monitor new and changed listings on scheduled runs without processing the full dataset every time.
- Research company hiring patterns, employer profiles, and industry distribution.
- Feed structured data into AI agents, MCP tools, and automated pipelines using compact mode.
- Export clean, structured data to dashboards, spreadsheets, or data warehouses.
- Analyze skill demand across listings using structured skill tags.
### How much does it cost to scrape jobbird.com?
Jobbird Scraper uses [pay-per-event](https://docs.apify.com/platform/actors/paid-actors/pay-per-event) pricing. You pay a small fee when the run starts and then for each result that is actually produced.
- **Run start:** $0.01 per run
- **Per result:** $0.001 per job record
Example costs:
- 10 results: **$0.02**
- 100 results: **$0.11**
- 500 results: **$0.51**
Incremental runs only charge for new or changed results, making recurring monitoring cost-efficient.
### FAQ
#### How many results can I get from jobbird.com?
The number of results depends on the search query and available listings on jobbird.com. Use the `maxResults` parameter to control how many results are returned per run.
#### Does Jobbird Scraper support recurring monitoring?
Yes. Enable incremental mode to only receive new or changed listings on subsequent runs. This is ideal for scheduled monitoring where you want to track changes over time without re-processing the full dataset.
#### Can I integrate Jobbird Scraper with other apps?
Yes. Jobbird Scraper works with Apify's [integrations](https://apify.com/integrations) to connect with tools like Zapier, Make, Google Sheets, Slack, and more. You can also use webhooks to trigger actions when a run completes.
#### Can I use Jobbird Scraper with the Apify API?
Yes. You can start runs, manage inputs, and retrieve results programmatically through the [Apify API](https://docs.apify.com/api/v2). Client libraries are available for JavaScript, Python, and other languages.
#### Can I use Jobbird Scraper through an MCP Server?
Yes. Apify provides an [MCP Server](https://apify.com/apify/actors-mcp-server) that lets AI assistants and agents call this actor directly. Use compact mode and `descriptionMaxLength` to keep payloads manageable for LLM context windows.
#### Is it legal to scrape jobbird.com?
This actor extracts publicly available data from jobbird.com. Web scraping of public information is generally considered legal, but you should always review the target site's terms of service and ensure your use case complies with applicable laws and regulations, including GDPR where relevant.
