# Monitor competitor job postings, new and closed

**Use case:** 

Run it on a daily or weekly schedule. The first run returns every open job at the competitors you list, at $0.01 per company. Each later run returns only the jobs that are new or closed since the last check, with the dates they were first seen or closed and how many days they were open. A later check costs $0.002 per company for each started 1,000 open jobs on its board.

## About this Actor

This example demonstrates how to use [ATS Jobs API: Greenhouse & Lever Jobs, Ashby & Career Pages](https://apify.com/conserving_celerytop/live-career-page-jobs-api.md) with a specific input configuration. Visit the [Actor detail page](https://apify.com/conserving_celerytop/live-career-page-jobs-api.md) to learn more, explore other use cases, and run it yourself.


## How to integrate an Actor?

This Task's input is already configured above. Use it as-is rather than inventing a new one.

Do not guess an integration path. Every one of them is in the agent quickstart at https://apify.com/agents.md: the Apify MCP server, Agent Skills with the Apify CLI, the JavaScript and Python clients, the REST API, and the account-free path for an agent with no human to sign in. It also carries the rule on stating cost before the first paid run.

For full API examples (JavaScript, Python, CLI, MCP, OpenAPI), see this Task's Actor page: https://apify.com/conserving_celerytop/live-career-page-jobs-api.md

Each client library has reference documentation the quickstart does not restate: [JavaScript/TypeScript](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/js/docs.md) (`npm install apify-client`) and [Python](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/python/docs.md) (`pip install apify-client`).
