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 ## Werk.nl Job Scraper Scrape job postings (vacatures) from **[Werk.nl](https://www.werk.nl)** — the official Dutch national job portal run by UWV. Fast and reliable: this actor talks directly to Werk.nl's own search API, so you get complete, structured data every run — no fragile HTML parsing, no browser. ### Features - ✅ **Search by keyword & location** — job title, keyword, or reference number, filtered by city or postal code + radius - ✅ **Powerful filters** — education level, hours per week, contract type, and working hours (multi-select) - ✅ **Full job details** — complete description, employer info, direct application link, contact person (name, phone, email), salary terms, dates - ✅ **Clean structured output** — ready for spreadsheets, CRMs, or data pipelines - ✅ **Automatic pagination** — scrape as many vacancies as you need - ✅ **No login, no cookies to manage** — session/anti-forgery handling is fully automatic ### Input | Field | Type | Default | Description | |---|---|---|---| | `keywords` | string | `react` | Job title, keyword(s), or reference number. Empty = browse all. | | `location` | string | — | City or postal code (e.g. `Amsterdam`, `1011DK`). Empty = whole Netherlands. | | `distance` | integer | `0` | Radius in km around the location (0 = exact). | | `sortBy` | select | `relevance` | `relevance` or `date` (newest first). | | `educationLevels` | multi-select | — | Primary / VMBO / HAVO-VWO / MBO / HBO-Bachelor / WO-Master / Not specified. | | `hoursPerWeek` | multi-select | — | 0-8 / 9-16 / 17-24 / 25-32 / 33-40 / 40+ hours. | | `contractTypes` | multi-select | — | Permanent / Possibly permanent / Temporary. | | `workingHours` | multi-select | — | Office hours / Other. | | `fetchDetails` | boolean | `true` | Fetch each vacancy's full page (description, employer, contact, apply link). | | `maxItems` | integer | `50` | Maximum number of vacancies to scrape. | | `proxyConfig` | proxy | NL Residential | Optional; recommended for large runs. | Filters are optional — leave them empty for all results. Within one filter, multiple selections are combined with OR; different filters are combined with AND (same as the website). #### Example input ```json { "keywords": "developer", "location": "Amsterdam", "educationLevels": ["5"], "contractTypes": ["1"], "fetchDetails": true, "maxItems": 100 } ```` ### Output Each dataset item is one vacancy. With `fetchDetails` on: ```json { "referenceNumber": 67355220, "title": "Mid-level Software Developer C#", "profession": "Software ontwikkelaar", "organisation": "Evoke BV", "city": "NIJMEGEN", "postcode": "6511RD", "contractType": "Vast", "studyLevel": "HBO/bachelor", "workLocationType": "Vaste werklocatie", "modified": "2026-07-13 00:00:00", "expirationDate": "2026-07-27T00:00:00", "description": "Do you have experience with C# and are you ready for the next step?...", "termsOfEmployment": "A salary of €3,765 - €5,790 per month; 25 vacation days...", "employer": { "organizationName": "Evoke BV", "website": "https://www.evokestaffing.com", "addressNetherlands": { "postcode": "6002EA", "city": "WEERT" } }, "contactPerson": { "name": "Recruiting Team", "phoneNumber": "0495 518 999", "email": "connect@evokestaffing.com" }, "applicationMethods": [{ "urlApplicationForm": "https://..." }], "source": "DGR", "url": "https://www.werk.nl/nl/vacatures/vacature/67355220" } ``` Key fields: - **Job**: `referenceNumber`, `title`, `profession`, `contractType`, `studyLevel`, `minHours`/`maxHours`, `modified`, `expirationDate`, `url` - **Location**: `city`, `postcode`, `workLocationType`, `distanceKm` - **Details** (when `fetchDetails` on): `description`, `termsOfEmployment`, `source` - **Employer**: `organisation`, `employer` (name, website, sector, address) - **Contact & apply**: `contactPerson` (name, phone, email), `applicationMethods` (direct apply URL) ### Use cases - **Recruiting & sourcing** — monitor Dutch job market by role, region, and level - **Lead generation** — employer names, websites, and recruiter contact details for outreach - **Market research** — track demand, contract types, and hiring trends across the Netherlands - **Job boards & aggregators** — feed fresh, fully-detailed Dutch vacancies into your product ### Notes - Data comes directly from Werk.nl's public search API — accurate and complete. - Turn off `fetchDetails` for faster, lighter runs when you only need the search-level fields. - Export results as JSON, CSV, or Excel from the dataset tab, or pull them via the Apify API. # Actor input Schema ## `keywords` (type: `string`): Job title, keyword(s) or reference number (e.g. 'react', 'verpleegkundige', 'projectmanager').
