## 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.

### FAQ

**What is TheHub?**
TheHub.io is a Scandinavian and European startup job board connecting job seekers with technology companies and startups. It features jobs across Denmark, Sweden, Germany, and other European markets, as well as fully remote roles.

**Do I need an API key or account?**
No. TheHub provides a public JSON API that this actor uses directly. No credentials required.

**How many jobs are available?**
TheHub typically has 800–1,500 active listings depending on the season.

**What does `isRemote` mean?**
When `true`, the company has indicated the role is remote-eligible. This field is omitted if TheHub does not provide this information for a particular listing.

**Are salary fields always populated?**
No — salary and equity are optional on TheHub. When absent, those fields are omitted entirely from the record.

**How fresh is the data?**
The API reflects current active listings. The actor adds a `scrapedAt` timestamp for each run.
