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). 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 ## SimplyHired Jobs Scraper — US Job Listings ### What does this actor do SimplyHired Jobs Scraper collects publicly available job listings from [simplyhired.com](https://www.simplyhired.com/). It searches SimplyHired using the job title, keywords, and location you provide, then returns structured job listing data such as titles, companies, locations, descriptions, salaries, and application links. The actor is intended for research, recruitment workflows, job market analysis, salary studies, and other use cases involving publicly listed US employment opportunities. Results are returned as individual dataset items, with one item representing a job listing found on SimplyHired. Only publicly accessible listing information is collected. Use the actor in accordance with SimplyHired’s terms, applicable laws, and the rights of the websites and data subjects involved. ### Input The actor accepts a JSON input object with the following fields: - `search`: Search terms used to find jobs, such as `software engineer`, `registered nurse`, or `data analyst`. - `location`: US city, state, ZIP code, or other location text used to filter results. - `maxItems`: Maximum number of job listings to return. - `proxyConfiguration`: Optional Apify Proxy configuration used for requests. Example input: ```json { "search": "software engineer", "location": "New York, NY", "maxItems": 50 } ```` The `maxItems` value controls the maximum number of records saved to the dataset. If proxy settings are provided, they are used according to the actor’s Apify input configuration. ### Output example Each dataset item contains the scraped fields available for a SimplyHired job listing. A representative result looks like this: ```json { "title": "Senior Software Engineer", "company": "Example Technology, Inc.", "location": "New York, NY", "salary": "$140,000 - $180,000 a year", "jobType": "Full-time", "description": "Design, build, test, and maintain software applications and services. Collaborate with product and engineering teams to deliver reliable solutions.", "url": "https://www.simplyhired.com/job/example-job-id", "datePosted": "2 days ago", "source": "SimplyHired" } ``` Fields may be absent or empty when the corresponding information is not published in the listing. Salary, employment type, posting date, and description formats depend on the source listing. The `url` field identifies the SimplyHired page for the job. ### Use cases - Finding job listings for specific roles and US locations. - Building internal recruitment or sourcing datasets. - Monitoring demand for skills, occupations, or industries. - Comparing advertised salaries and employment types. - Tracking changes in job availability over time. - Supporting labor-market and compensation research. - Collecting listings for job search and career information tools. - Identifying employers hiring for selected technologies or specialties. ### Pricing This actor uses pay-per-event pricing. You pay for the events generated during the run according to the actor’s configured pricing model. Apify compute is not included in the actor price. The buyer pays separately for the Apify compute resources used by each run, including any applicable platform or proxy costs. The total cost depends on the number of listings collected, the selected input, request volume, run duration, and resource usage. Review the actor’s current Apify Store pricing and your account usage before running large jobs. # Actor input Schema ## `queries` (type: `array`): Job titles or keywords to search for. ## `location` (type: `string`): Optional location filter. ## `maxResults` (type: `integer`): Maximum number of job records to collect. ## `proxyConfiguration` (type: `object`): Proxy settings for page requests. ## Actor input object example ```json { "maxResults": 50, "proxyConfiguration": { "useApifyProxy": true, "apifyProxyGroups": [ "RESIDENTIAL" ] } } ``` # API You can run this Actor programmatically using our API.
