## 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.

# README

## Fuzu Jobs Scraper

Scrape live job listings from [Fuzu.com](https://www.fuzu.com), the pan-African career platform, across **Kenya, Nigeria, and Uganda**. Search by keyword, town, job category, industry, and seniority level, or fetch full job details from listing URLs. No login, no cookies, no paid proxy required.

> **Note:** the originally requested `brightermonday.co.ke` target already has a dedicated actor in this catalog (BrighterMonday Scraper). To avoid a duplicate, this actor instead covers **Fuzu** — a same-category African job board that additionally spans Nigeria and Uganda, giving broader market coverage.

### What this actor does

- **Two modes:** `search` (keyword + filters) and `byUrls` (direct listing fetch)
- **Three markets:** Kenya, Nigeria, Uganda — switch via `country`, or just pick a `town` and the country is inferred automatically
- **Filters:** town, job category, industry, seniority level, sort order, recency, keyword
- **Rich fields per job:** full description, salary band (when disclosed), education/experience/language requirements, company info
- **Empty fields are omitted** — every record only contains data actually present on the listing

### Output per job

- `jobId` — Fuzu's internal listing ID
- `jobSlug` — URL slug for the listing (last path segment of `sourceUrl`)
- `title`, `companyId`, `companyName`, `companySlug`, `companyUrl`, `companyLogoUrl`
- `location`, `country`, `countryCode`
- `category` — job function (e.g. "Information technology, software development, data")
- `industry` — employer's industry
- `seniorityLevel` — Entry and Basic-level / Mid-level / Senior-level
- `employmentType` — Full time / Part time
- `employmentTypeSlug` — machine-readable form of `employmentType` (e.g. `full-time`)
- `positionType` — Fuzu's raw contract-term value (`permanent` / `fixed_term`)
- `hiringType` — Direct employment / Staffing / outsourced / Internship
- `applicationType` — External / Internal (Fuzu) / Fast Apply
- `salaryMin`, `salaryMax`, `salaryCurrency`, `salaryPeriod` (only when disclosed)
- `salaryNote` — free-text salary note (e.g. "Salary plus commission") when no numeric band is disclosed
- `requiredEducation`, `requiredExperience`, `requiredLanguages[]`
- `descriptionHtml`, `descriptionText`
- `datePosted`, `validThrough` — ISO 8601 timestamps
- `viewsCount`, `expired`
- `applicationUrl`, `applicationEmail`, `applicationPostalAddress` — how to apply, when the employer handles applications outside Fuzu (by external site, email, or postal mail)
- `locationSlug` — Fuzu's town slug for the job location (matches the `town` input values)
- `sourceUrl` — canonical listing URL
- `recordType: "job"`, `scrapedAt`

#### Example: mid-level IT jobs in Nairobi

```json
{
  "mode": "search",
  "country": "kenya",
  "town": "nairobi",
  "category": "5",
  "seniority": "middle",
  "maxItems": 30
}
```

#### Example: fetch specific listings

```json
{
  "mode": "byUrls",
  "listingUrls": ["https://www.fuzu.com/kenya/jobs/accountant-i-thika-technical-training-institute"]
}
```

### Use cases

- **Job seekers** — build custom alerts across three African markets in one place.
- **Recruiters & staffing agencies** — monitor market rates and competitor postings across Kenya, Nigeria, and Uganda.
- **Labor-market researchers** — track hiring trends and salary bands across East and West Africa.
- **HR tech products** — power a job-aggregation feature with fresh, structured listing data.

### FAQs

**Does this require a Fuzu account or API key?**
No. The actor scrapes publicly available listing pages — no login, cookies, or API key needed.

**How current is the data?**
Every run fetches live pages directly from fuzu.com; there is no caching layer.

**Why are some fields missing on some jobs?**
Fuzu listings vary — not every job discloses a salary. Only fields actually present on the page are included (no placeholder/sentinel values).

**What's the difference between `applicationType` and `hiringType`?** `applicationType` describes *where* you apply — through Fuzu directly (`Internal (Fuzu)`/`Fast Apply`) or an external site/email (`External`). `hiringType` describes the *employment arrangement* the employer is offering — `Direct employment`, `Staffing / outsourced` (via a staffing agency), or `Internship`.

**When are `applicationUrl` / `applicationEmail` present?** Only when the employer routes applications outside Fuzu (an `applicationType` of `External`). Most listings use Fuzu's own internal application flow, so these fields are frequently omitted — that's expected, not a bug.

**Can I search across all three countries at once?**
Each run targets one country (or one town, which implies its country). Run the actor multiple times with different `country`/`town` values to cover all three markets.

    "mcpServers": {
        "apify": {

```

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).
