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 ## Bayt.com Middle East Jobs Scraper Scrape job listings from [Bayt.com](https://www.bayt.com) — the largest job board across the Middle East and North Africa. Returns titles, companies, locations, salaries, career level, experience, full descriptions, required skills, preferred-candidate details, and direct apply links. HTTP-only; no login or cookies required. ### Output (per job) - `type` = `job_bayt` - `jobId`, `url` - `title` - `company`, `companyProfileUrl`, `companyLogo` - `location` (e.g. "Dubai · UAE") - `postedAtRelative` (e.g. "30+ days ago"), `postedAt` (ISO 8601 UTC) - `employmentType` (Full time / Part time / Contract …) - `careerLevel` (Entry / Mid career / Management / Executive) - `experience` - `salary` - `minSalaryUSD`, `maxSalaryUSD` — when the detail page shows a USD salary range - `vacancies` — number of open positions, when listed - `industryId`, `industryName`, `jobType` (Remote / Hybrid / On-site) - `jobFunction` — broad function (e.g. Engineering, Sales) when available - `applyUrl`, `isExternalJob` - `descriptionHtml`, `descriptionText` - `skillsText` - `preferredCandidate` - `gender` — preferred gender (Male / Female / Any) - `nationality` — preferred nationality text - `residenceCountry` — required residence country - `degree` — required education level - `languages` — list of required languages - `benefits` — list of benefits when the detail page has a benefits block - `candidateStatus` — boolean "Open to travel" flag (when present) - `applicationsCount`, `viewsCount` — interaction counters when surfaced on the detail page - `listingSummary` - `companySize`, `companyEmployeesSize` — e.g. "50-99 Employees" - `companyIndustry` — extracted from the industry anchor in the company row - `companyFoundedYear` — year the company was founded (when shown on the profile) - `datePosted` — absolute date from meta tags when present - `scrapedAt` If the listing / search returns zero results (or the input is invalid), a single `job_bayt_blocked` sentinel record is emitted so runs always exit with output. ### Input | Field | Type | Description | |---|---|---| | `startUrl` | string | Bayt.com search or category URL. Prefill: `https://www.bayt.com/en/international/jobs/python-jobs/`. | | `keyword` | string | Optional keyword filter. When set, merged into the start URL as `?keyword=…`. | | `locationFilter` | string | Optional country/city slug (e.g. `uae`, `dubai-uae`, `saudi-arabia`, `qatar`). Used when no `startUrl` is supplied. | | `resultsWanted` | integer | Maximum job listings to return. Default 3, max 500. | | `maxPages` | integer | Maximum listing pages to iterate. Default 20. | | `datePosted` | enum | `any`, `last_24_hours`, `last_week`, `last_month`. Appended to URL where supported, else client-side. | | `careerLevel` | enum | `any`, `entry`, `mid_career`, `management`, `senior_executive`, `student`. Client-side match. | | `employmentType` | enum | `any`, `full_time`, `part_time`, `contract`, `internship`, `temporary`. Client-side match. | | `proxyConfiguration` | object | Apify proxy. Datacenter proxy is sufficient. | #### Example inputs - Keyword + country: `keyword = "sales"`, `locationFilter = "uae"` - Direct URL: `startUrl = "https://www.bayt.com/en/dubai-uae/jobs/"` - Single job: `startUrl = "https://www.bayt.com/en/uae/jobs/creative-tech-ai-lead-5443062/"` ### How it works 1. Build a start URL from `startUrl` — or `keyword` + `locationFilter` when the URL is blank. 2. Iterate `?page=N` up to `maxPages` or until `resultsWanted` is reached. 3. Extract each job card (`li[data-js-job]`) to seed fields (title, company, location, salary, career level, summary, relative date). 4. For each job URL, fetch the detail page and extract structured data from `#job_card` (header), `data-automation-id` rows (employment type, career level, industry) and the H2-anchored description / skills / preferred-candidate sections. 5. Retry on `403` / `429` / `5xx` up to three times with exponential backoff and a fresh Apify-proxy session. ### FAQ **Do I need a proxy?** Datacenter proxy is sufficient — Bayt.com accepts datacenter IPs for both listing and detail pages. **Can I scrape a single job URL?** Yes — pass the direct job URL in `startUrl`. The scraper detects job URLs and skips pagination. **What countries are supported?** All Bayt country sub-sites (UAE, Saudi Arabia, Qatar, Kuwait, Oman, Bahrain, Egypt, Jordan, Lebanon, Morocco …). Use the country slug from the Bayt URL structure (`/en//jobs/`) in `locationFilter`. **Why is a sentinel record emitted?** When the given URL / search has no matching jobs, we still emit one `job_bayt_blocked` record so downstream pipelines never see an empty dataset. # Actor input Schema ## `startUrl` (type: `string`): Bayt.com search or category URL. Examples: https://www.bayt.com/en/international/jobs/python-jobs/, https://www.bayt.com/en/uae/jobs/, https://www.bayt.com/en/dubai-uae/jobs/ ## `keyword` (type: `string`): Optional keyword filter. When set and no startUrl is supplied, builds https://www.bayt.com/en/international/jobs/?keyword=. ## `locationFilter` (type: `string`): Optional country/city slug used to scope results (e.g. dubai-uae, uae, saudi-arabia, qatar). Combined with keyword builds https://www.bayt.com/en//jobs/?keyword=. ## `resultsWanted` (type: `integer`): Maximum job listings to return. ## `maxPages` (type: `integer`): Maximum listing pages to iterate over when collecting results. ## `datePosted` (type: `string`): Filter jobs by how recently they were posted (applied client-side against postedAtRelative / postedAt). ## `careerLevel` (type: `string`): Filter by career level (applied client-side against the extracted careerLevel). ## `employmentType` (type: `string`): Filter by employment type (applied client-side against the extracted employmentType). ## `proxyConfiguration` (type: `object`): Apify proxy configuration. Datacenter proxy is sufficient — Bayt.com accepts datacenter IPs. ## Actor input object example ```json { "startUrl": "https://www.bayt.com/en/international/jobs/python-jobs/", "resultsWanted": 3, "maxPages": 20, "datePosted": "any", "careerLevel": "any", "employmentType": "any", "proxyConfiguration": { "useApifyProxy": true } } ```` # API You can run this Actor programmatically using our API.
