## 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/docs.md):

```bash
npm install apify-client
```

In Python projects, use official [Python client library](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/python/docs.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/integrations/mcp.md).

If your project is in a different language, use the [REST API](https://docs.apify.com/api/v2.md).

# README

### What does Shine Job Scraper do?

Shine Job Scraper extracts structured job data from [shine.com](https://shine.com) — including salary data, apply URLs, 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.

**New to Apify?** [Sign up free](https://console.apify.com/sign-up?fpr=1h3gvi&fp_sid=ctaplain) and use the included $5 monthly platform credit to test this actor.

### Key features

<!-- KEY_FEATURES:START -->
- **🔔 Notifications** — Telegram, Slack, Discord, WhatsApp Cloud API, and generic webhook out of the box. Pair with incremental for daily new-listing alerts without pipeline glue.
- **🔗 Paste-mode** — paste any shine URL straight from your browser — single-listing pages, search-results URLs, or category SEO URLs. Mix freely with keyword and IDs in the same run; results dedupe by ID.
- **🎯 Batch searches** — pass `["term1", "term2"]` for query, location, or city to batch multiple searches in one run — shared dedup state, single dataset, one Actor-Start charge instead of N.
- **📧 Email + phone extraction** — best-effort regex extraction of contact emails and phone numbers from descriptions — emitted as `extractedEmails[]` and `extractedPhones[]` on every record.
- **🔗 URL + social-profile extraction** — every record carries `extractedUrls[]` plus a structured `socialProfiles { linkedin, twitter, instagram, facebook, youtube, tiktok, github, xing }` parsed from the description.
- **📦 Compact mode** — AI-agent and MCP-friendly payloads with core fields only.
- **✂️ Description truncation** — cap description length with `descriptionMaxLength` to control LLM prompt cost and dataset size — set 0 for full descriptions, or any char-limit to trim.
- **📌 Change classification** — each record carries a `changeType` of NEW / UPDATED / UNCHANGED / REAPPEARED / EXPIRED. Default emits NEW + UPDATED + REAPPEARED; opt into the others with `emitUnchanged` / `emitExpired`. Repost detection flags previously-expired listings that come back.
- **🔌 MCP connectors** — export your results into Notion via Apify's MCP connectors — a clean run-summary page, no glue code. Opt-in via the App connector field; deterministic field-mapping, no AI. Built on Apify's connector framework, so more destinations open up as their catalog grows.
- **📝 Description format selection** — pick a single description representation — `text`, `html`, or `markdown` — and the unused variants are dropped from each record. Halves payload size when your pipeline only consumes one format.
- **♻️ Incremental mode** — recurring runs emit and charge only for listings that are new or whose tracked content changed. First run builds the baseline; subsequent runs emit only NEW / UPDATED / REAPPEARED records (UNCHANGED + EXPIRED opt-in). Saves 80–95% on daily monitoring.
<!-- KEY_FEATURES:END -->

### What data can you extract from shine.com?

Each result includes Core job fields (`jobId`, `jobKey`, `title`, `location`, `locations`, `salaryText`, `salaryMin`, and `salaryMax`, and more), extended fields (`description`, `descriptionText`, `descriptionHtml`, `descriptionMarkdown`, and `descriptionLength`), apply information (`applyUrl`), and company metadata (`company`, `clientCompany`, `companyId`, and `companyLogo`). 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.

### 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. Use JSON array for multi-query.
- **`country`** — Which shine.com market to search. (default: `"IN"`)
- **`location`** — City, state, or region. Use JSON array for multi-location.
- **`startUrls`** — Direct search or job detail URLs.
- **`maxResults`** — Maximum total job listings to return (0 = unlimited). (default: `25`)
- **`maxPages`** — Maximum result pages to fetch per search. (default: `5`)
- **`experience`** — Filter by required years of experience.
- **`salaryBand`** — Filter by annual salary band (Indian Lakh brackets).
- **`experienceFrom`** — Keep only jobs whose required experience overlaps this minimum (in years). Precise range filter applied to each job's parsed experience — finer than the band selector above.
- **`experienceTo`** — Keep only jobs whose required experience overlaps this maximum (in years). Combine with Experience From for an exact range, e.g. 4 to 7 years.
- **`industryId`** — Advanced. Restrict results to a specific industry id (e.g. "18" for IT Services & Consulting).
- **`includeRecruiterContact`** — Add the recruiter's phone and email to each record where the listing provides them. Off by default — these are personal contact details, so enable only if you have a lawful basis to process them. (default: `false`)
- ...and 22 more parameters

### Input examples

**Basic search** — Keyword-driven search with a result cap.

→ Full payload per result — all standard fields populated where the source provides them.

```json
{
  "query": "software engineer",
  "maxResults": 50
}
````

**Incremental tracking** — Only emit jobs that changed since the previous run with this `stateKey`.

→ First run builds the baseline state. Subsequent runs emit only records that are new or whose tracked content changed. Set `emitUnchanged: true` to include unchanged records as well.

```json
{
  "query": "software engineer",
  "maxResults": 200,
  "incrementalMode": true,
  "stateKey": "software-engineer-tracker"
}
```

**Compact output for AI agents** — Return only core fields for AI-agent and MCP workflows.

→ Small payload with the most important fields — ideal for piping into LLMs without token overhead.

```json
{
  "query": "software engineer",
  "maxResults": 50,
  "compact": true
}
```

### 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.

### Example job record

```json
{
  "jobId": "5379c011988ca3a900dc7f0a52ec7fd1ac74097d5ab10b0b08a411e8df7f544d",

}
```

### Incremental fields

When incremental mode is on, each record also carries:

- `changeType` — one of `NEW`, `UPDATED`, `UNCHANGED`, `REAPPEARED`, `EXPIRED`. Default output covers `NEW` / `UPDATED` / `REAPPEARED`; set `emitUnchanged: true` or `emitExpired: true` to opt into the others.
- `firstSeenAt`, `lastSeenAt` — ISO-8601 timestamps tracking the listing across runs.
- `isRepost`, `repostOfId`, `repostDetectedAt` — populated when a new listing matches the tracked content of a previously expired one. Set `skipReposts: true` to drop detected reposts from the output.

### How to scrape shine.com

1. Go to [Shine Job Scraper](https://apify.com/blackfalcondata/shine-scraper?fpr=1h3gvi) in Apify Console.
2. Enter a search keyword and optional location filter.
3. Set `maxResults` to control how many results you need.
4. Click **Start** and wait for the run to finish.
5. Export the dataset as JSON, CSV, or Excel.

### Use cases

- Extract job data from shine.com for market research and competitive analysis.
- Track salary trends across regions and categories over time.
- Monitor new and changed jobs on scheduled runs without processing the full dataset every time.
- Auto-apply or feed apply URLs into your ATS / hiring pipeline.
- 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 shine.com?

Shine Job 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:** $0.0005 per run
- **Per result:** $0.00079 per job record

Example costs:

- 10 results: **$0.0084**
- 25 results: **$0.02**
- 100 results: **$0.08**
- 200 results: **$0.16**
- 500 results: **$0.4**

#### Example: recurring monitoring savings

These examples compare full re-scrapes with incremental runs at different churn rates. Churn is the share of jobs that are new or whose tracked content changed since the previous run. Actual churn depends on your query breadth, source activity, and polling frequency — the scenarios below are examples, not predictions.

Example setup: 100 results per run, daily polling (30 runs/month). Event-pricing examples scale linearly with result count.

| Churn rate | Full re-scrape run cost | Incremental run cost | Savings vs full re-scrape | Monthly cost after baseline |
|---|---:|---:|---:|---:|
| 5% — stable niche query | $0.08 | $0.00445 | $0.08 (94%) | $0.13 |
| 15% — moderate broad query | $0.08 | $0.01 | $0.07 (84%) | $0.37 |
| 30% — high-volume aggregator | $0.08 | $0.02 | $0.06 (70%) | $0.73 |

Full re-scrape monthly cost at daily polling: $2.39. First month with incremental costs $0.21 / $0.44 / $0.78 for the 5% / 15% / 30% scenarios because the first run builds baseline state at full cost before incremental savings apply.

Platform usage is included in the per-result fee shown above.

### FAQ

#### How many results can I get from shine.com?

The number of results depends on the search query and available jobs on shine.com. Use the `maxResults` parameter to control how many results are returned per run.

#### Does Shine Job Scraper support recurring monitoring?

Yes. Enable incremental mode to only receive new or changed jobs 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 Shine Job Scraper with other apps?

Yes. Shine Job Scraper works with Apify's [integrations](https://apify.com/integrations?fpr=1h3gvi) 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 Shine Job 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 Shine Job Scraper through an MCP Server?

Yes. Apify provides an [MCP Server](https://apify.com/apify/actors-mcp-server?fpr=1h3gvi) that lets AI assistants and agents call this actor directly. Use compact mode, `descriptionMaxLength`, a single `descriptionFormat`, and `excludeEmptyFields` to keep payloads manageable for LLM context windows.

#### Is it legal to scrape shine.com?

This actor extracts publicly available data from shine.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.
