## What's an Apify Actor?

Actors are web data automations that power AI and operations. They run on the Apify platform to scrape websites, process data, connect APIs, and automate workflows.
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.

- **AI agents and MCP clients** — the [Apify MCP server](https://docs.apify.com/integrations/mcp.md) at `https://mcp.apify.com` (remote, streamable HTTP, OAuth on first use).
- **Agentic workflows and local Actor development** — [Agent Skills](https://apify.com/.well-known/agent-skills/index.json) with the [Apify CLI](https://docs.apify.com/cli/docs.md): `npm install -g apify-cli`, then `apify login`.
- **JavaScript/TypeScript projects** — the official [JS/TS client](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/js/docs.md): `npm install apify-client`.
- **Python projects** — the official [Python client](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/python/docs.md): `pip install apify-client`.
- **Any other language** — 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

## Workable EU Startup Jobs | $1.50/1K — Department + Benefits, No Login

For VC firms, talent-ops, and market analysts tracking European startup headcount signals — Workable powers the careers pages of top EU startups and scale-ups like Skroutz, Stoiximan, and Vio.com. This actor delivers hiring intelligence by cleanly extracting their open roles.

**Pricing: $1.50/1,000 jobs** (descriptions: ~$2.00/1K)

**Zero auth. Zero proxy.** Workable's robots.txt explicitly permits AI input — this is one of the cleanest legal positions in job scraping.

Scrape job postings from any **Workable**-powered EU startup careers page.
Returns structured data including job descriptions, seniority level, remote type,
and parse confidence — for one or many companies in a single run.

### What it does

- Fetches **all open jobs** from Workable company boards via public zero-auth endpoints
- Normalizes into a **20-field flat schema** with cross-company consistency
- Enriches with **seniority** (11 levels: executive → intern → mid) and **remote type**
  (hybrid / remote / onsite) using Workable's authoritative native field
- Combines **description + requirements + benefits** into one HTML/text output
- Reports **parse\_confidence** so you can detect API drift before it becomes data corruption
- **Zero auth, zero proxy** — no API key required, runs on any plan

### Input

```json
{
  "companies": ["skroutz", "stoiximan", "vio"],
  "titleKeyword": "engineer",
  "locationKeyword": "Athens",
  "remoteOnly": false,
  "maxJobsPerCompany": 50,
  "includeDescriptions": true
}
```

| Field | Type | Default | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
| `companies` | string\[] | `["skroutz", "stoiximan", "vio"]` | Workable company slugs (from `apply.workable.com/<slug>`) |
| `titleKeyword` | string | — | Filter: keep jobs whose title contains this text |
| `locationKeyword` | string | — | Filter: keep jobs whose city or country contains this text |
| `remoteOnly` | boolean | false | Keep only fully remote jobs |
| `maxJobsPerCompany` | integer | 50 | Cap per company; 0 = unlimited |
| `includeDescriptions` | boolean | true | Include description/requirements/benefits HTML and text |

### Output schema

| Field | Type | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| `title` | string | Job title |
| `company` | string | Workable slug |
| `location` | string | "City, Country" |
| `city` | string | City only |
| `country` | string | Country name |
| `remote_type` | string | hybrid / remote / onsite / null (Workable native field) |
| `seniority` | string | 11-level: executive / vp / director / manager / principal / staff / lead / senior / intern / entry / mid |
| `salary` | null | Not available in Workable public API |
| `department` | string | Department name |
| `employment_type` | string | full-time / part-time / contract / internship |
| `posted_at` | string | ISO-8601 |
| `url` | string | Canonical apply URL |
| `apply_url` | string | Same as url |
| `job_id` | string | Workable numeric ID or shortcode |
| `global_id` | string | `workable:<slug>:<job_id>` for cross-ATS deduplication |
| `description_text` | string | Plain text (description + requirements + benefits) |
| `description_html` | string | HTML (description + requirements + benefits) |
| `parse_confidence` | float | 0.0–1.0 quality score |
| `warnings` | string\[] | Machine-readable quality codes |
| `scraped_at` | string | ISO-8601 run timestamp |

### Finding your Workable slug

The slug is the path component after `apply.workable.com/`. For example:

- `https://apply.workable.com/skroutz/` → slug is `skroutz`
- `https://apply.workable.com/stoiximan/` → slug is `stoiximan`
- `https://apply.workable.com/vio/` → slug is `vio`

### Pricing example

| Run | Jobs returned | Cost |
|---|---|---|
| Trial (3 companies, 50-cap default) | ~150 | ~$0.23 |
| 1,000 jobs (20 companies) | 1,000 | $1.50 |
| 10,000 jobs (bulk) | 10,000 | $15.00 |

Pay-per-result: **$0.0015 per job** ($1.50 per 1,000 results).
You only pay for jobs actually retrieved and pushed to the dataset.

### Output sample

```json
{
  "title": "Backend Engineer",
  "company": "skroutz",
  "location": "Athens, Greece",
  "city": "Athens",
  "country": "Greece",
  "remote_type": "hybrid",
  "seniority": "mid",
  "department": "Engineering",
  "employment_type": "full-time",
  "posted_at": "2026-05-15T08:00:00Z",
  "url": "https://apply.workable.com/skroutz/j/AB1234CD/",
  "parse_confidence": 1.0,
  "warnings": [],
  "scraped_at": "2026-06-05T10:00:00+00:00"
}
```

### FAQ

**Do I need an API key or proxy?**
No. Workable's robots.txt explicitly permits AI input. Zero credentials needed.

**What formats can I export?**
JSON, CSV, Excel, or JSONL — from the Apify dataset UI or REST API.

**Can I schedule daily runs?**
Yes. Apify Schedules let you run daily and compare `job_id` sets to detect new openings automatically.

**What if a company returns empty or gives a 404?**
The actor logs the failure and skips to the next slug cleanly — no crash, no charge for that company.

### Technical notes

- Uses Workable's public `jobs.md` endpoint to retrieve all job shortcodes without pagination issues
- Fetches per-job detail from `/api/v2/accounts/<slug>/jobs/<shortcode>` for full descriptions
- Both endpoints are zero-authentication public APIs; no browser or proxy required
- `parse_confidence` deducts for missing title, job ID, URL, date, or description — a score below 0.8 signals API drift

### Use with AI agents (MCP)

This actor is available via Apify's MCP server. Connect it to any MCP-compatible agent (Claude, n8n, Make) to pull live Workable job data on demand — no code required.

### Integrations

Built for VC firms, talent-ops, and HR-tech builders mapping open roles across European startups and scale-ups running Workable — the JSON/dataset output drops into the tools you already run, no glue code:

- **n8n / Make / Zapier** — trigger a run or pipe every new dataset item into 500+ apps (Google Sheets, Airtable, Slack, HubSpot, your database) with no code: [n8n](https://docs.apify.com/platform/integrations/n8n), [Make](https://docs.apify.com/platform/integrations/make), [Zapier](https://docs.apify.com/platform/integrations/zapier).
- **Webhooks** — fire your own endpoint the moment a run finishes, to push results straight into your pipeline ([docs](https://docs.apify.com/platform/integrations/webhooks)).
- **MCP server** — expose this actor as a tool to Claude, Cursor, or any [MCP client](https://mcp.apify.com) so an AI agent can pull this data mid-conversation ([guide](https://blog.apify.com/how-to-use-mcp/)).
- **API & SDKs** — fetch the dataset as JSON, CSV, or Excel through the Apify REST API or the Python / JS SDKs.

See all [Apify integrations](https://apify.com/integrations).

### Legal

# Actor input Schema

## `companies` (type: `array`):

Workable company slugs to scrape. The slug is what appears after apply.workable.com/ in the careers URL. Examples: "skroutz", "stoiximan", "vio". Each item can be a plain string ("skroutz") or an object ({"slug": "skroutz"}).

## `titleKeyword` (type: `string`):

Keep only jobs whose title contains this text (case-insensitive). Example: "engineer". Leave blank to return all jobs.

## `locationKeyword` (type: `string`):

Keep only jobs whose location (city or country) contains this text (case-insensitive). Example: "Athens". Leave blank for all locations.

## `remoteOnly` (type: `boolean`):

When enabled, only fully remote jobs are returned (uses Workable's native remote flag).

## `maxJobsPerCompany` (type: `integer`):

Cap on jobs pushed per company slug after filtering. Default 50 keeps trial runs cheap. Set to 0 for unlimited.

## `includeDescriptions` (type: `boolean`):

Return full job description (description + requirements + benefits) as plain text and HTML. Requires one extra API call per job. Disable to get metadata-only results faster.

{
  "companies": [
    "skroutz",

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).
