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 ## SimplyHired Jobs Scraper Extract job listings from [SimplyHired.com](https://www.simplyhired.com/) — one of the largest US job aggregators, pulling listings from company career sites, staffing agencies, and niche job boards.

Scraping reflects the current state of the site. **Can I search without specifying a location?** Yes — leave the `location` field empty to search across all locations. **What is the maximum number of results?** SimplyHired shows up to ~100 pages of 20 results each. Set `maxItems` accordingly (max 500). **Why are some jobs missing salary information?** SimplyHired only shows salary when employers provide it. The `salary` field will be absent if not available. **Does this work for remote jobs?** Yes — you can set `location` to "remote" or use the `remoteType` filter. **Is this actor free to use?** Yes — it uses SimplyHired's public website and requires no API keys or credentials. # Actor input Schema ## `mode` (type: `string`): What to fetch: search for jobs by keyword/location, or scrape specific job URLs. ## `searchQuery` (type: `string`): Job title, skills, or keywords to search for (mode=search). ## `location` (type: `string`): City, state, zip code, or 'remote' (mode=search).
