## 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.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.

# README

## Arbeitnow Job Listings Scraper

Scrape job listings from **[Arbeitnow](https://www.arbeitnow.com/)** — a global job board featuring thousands of remote, part-time, and full-time opportunities. Filter by keyword, tech-stack tags, or remote-only status. No API key or account required.

### What This Actor Does

This actor fetches job listings from the Arbeitnow public job board API and returns structured data including the job title, company, location, employment type, tech stack tags, a plain-text description, and a direct link to the listing. You can narrow results using keyword search, tech tags, or a remote-only toggle.

### Input Fields

| Field | Type | Default | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
| `searchQuery` | String | — | Keyword to filter jobs. Matched case-insensitively against title and description. Leave blank to return all jobs. |
| `tags` | Array of strings | `[]` | Filter by tech-stack or category tags (e.g. `["python", "django"]`). A job must match **all** specified tags. |
| `remote` | Boolean | `false` | When `true`, only remote-friendly positions are returned. |
| `maxItems` | Integer | `10` | Maximum number of job listings to return (1–500). |

### Output Fields

Each record in the dataset contains:

| Field | Type | Description |
|---|---|---|
| `slug` | String | Unique job identifier on Arbeitnow. |
| `title` | String | Job title as posted by the employer. |
| `company` | String | Name of the hiring company. |
| `location` | String | Geographic location (e.g. `Berlin, Germany`). |
| `remote` | Boolean | Whether the role is remote-friendly. |
| `jobTypes` | Array of strings | Employment types (e.g. `["Full-time", "Contract"]`). |
| `tags` | Array of strings | Tech-stack and category tags (e.g. `["python", "django"]`). |
| `description` | String | Plain-text job description (HTML removed). |
| `postedAt` | String | ISO 8601 datetime the job was posted (UTC). |
| `sourceUrl` | String | Direct URL to the listing on Arbeitnow. |
| `scrapedAt` | String | ISO 8601 datetime when this record was collected (UTC). |

> Fields with no data are omitted from the output — every field present in a record is populated.

### Example Input

```json
{
  "searchQuery": "python developer",

### Frequently Asked Questions

**Do I need an API key or Arbeitnow account?**
No. Arbeitnow provides a completely free, unauthenticated public API. This actor requires no credentials.

**How many jobs can I retrieve?**
You can retrieve up to 500 jobs per run using the `maxItems` setting. The Arbeitnow API paginates results in batches of approximately 15 listings per page.

**How does keyword search work?**
The `searchQuery` field performs a case-insensitive substring match against each job's title and description. For example, searching `"python"` will match "Senior Python Developer" and any description containing the word "python".

**What does the `tags` filter do?**
Tags represent tech-stack and category labels attached to each listing (e.g. `python`, `react`, `remote`). If you specify multiple tags, only jobs matching **all** of them will be returned. Tags are matched case-insensitively.
