## 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.

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).

- **Structured compensation** — Indian numbering (`₹ 5,00,000`), `/month` vs `/year` vs lump sum, unpaid flag, LPA for jobs and PPO amounts
- **Optional detail enrichment** — apply-by, start date, perks, openings, who-can-apply, about-company, full description
- **HTTP AJAX path** — same JSON endpoint Internshala’s search UI uses (`/internships_ajax/`, `/jobs_ajax/`, `/fresher-jobs_ajax/`); 256–512 MB, no Playwright
- **Datacenter-friendly** — no residential proxy required in testing (optional if you scale)
- **Monitor mode** — named Key-Value store of seen listing IDs; later scheduled runs emit only new listings
- **Deduplicated listing IDs** across pages, keywords, cities, and boards
- **MCP / AI ready** — call from assistants via Apify MCP

### Suite next step

Internshala is the campus / fresher layer of the India jobs suite. For the same Indian role on **Naukri.com** (experienced listings, CTC bands, AmbitionBox), run [Naukri Jobs Scraper](https://apify.com/crawloop/naukri-jobs-scraper) next. For Monster India / Foundit coverage, continue with [Foundit Jobs Scraper](https://apify.com/crawloop/foundit-jobs-scraper).

### FAQ

**Is this an official Internshala API?**\
No. It calls the same public AJAX search the website uses (`/internships_ajax/`, `/jobs_ajax/`, `/fresher-jobs_ajax/`) and returns structured dataset rows — a practical **Internshala API alternative** for pipelines.

**Does it work as an Internshala internship scraper and a fresher jobs scraper?**\
Yes. Set `listingType` to `internships`, `jobs`, `fresher_jobs`, or `internships_and_jobs`. One Actor covers all three Internshala boards.

**Can I export CSV or Excel?**\
Yes. Download the default dataset as JSON, CSV, or Excel from Apify Console, or pull it via the API / MCP.

**Can I paste an Internshala search URL?**\
Yes — `startUrls` accepts internship, job, fresher-job, and internships-for-women search pages, plus individual detail URLs. Path filters such as stipend, duration, and work-from-home map automatically.

**Do I need an Internshala login?**\
No — public listing cards only.

**Does it need a residential proxy?**\
Usually not. Internshala’s AJAX search is unauthenticated and worked over datacenter connections in testing. A `proxyConfiguration` input is still available if you scale up and start seeing blocks.

**Internships vs jobs vs fresher jobs?**\
Internships use monthly stipend and duration. Jobs and fresher jobs use annual CTC and experience. Set `listingType` accordingly, or `internships_and_jobs` to cover both boards in one run.

**How do I get apply-by dates and perks?**\
Set `includeDetails: true`. This fetches each listing page (one extra HTTP request per row).

**What is monitor mode?**\
With `monitorMode: true`, seen listing IDs are stored in a named Key-Value store. The first run is the baseline (all matches are new). Later scheduled runs push and charge only IDs not seen before.

**Python / Node.js / MCP?**\
Yes — use the Apify client examples above or Apify MCP prompts.

**How many listings per search?**\
Internshala paginates about 40–50 cards per page. Use extra `locations` / `searchKeywords` or start URLs to cover more.

# Actor input Schema

## `listingType` (type: `string`):

Internshala board. internships\_and\_jobs runs internships then jobs and merges unique listing IDs.

## `position` (type: `string`):

Free-text search (e.g. python, digital marketing, content writing). Leave blank to browse by city/category/filters only.

## `searchKeywords` (type: `array`):

Optional extra keyword queries. Each keyword is searched separately; results are merged and deduplicated by listing ID.

## `category` (type: `string`):

Internshala profile slug or name (e.g. computer-science, digital-marketing, content-writing, web-development). Used when keyword is empty.

## `location` (type: `string`):

Indian city (e.g. Bangalore, Mumbai, Delhi, Hyderabad, Pune, Chennai). Comma-separated cities become separate searches. Ignored when work-from-home is on and you are not also passing startUrls.

## `locations` (type: `array`):

Optional extra cities. Each city is a separate Internshala search; results are pooled and deduplicated.

## `startUrls` (type: `array`):

Optional Internshala search or detail URLs. Path filters (keywords, city, WFH, stipend, duration, PPO) are parsed automatically. Search URLs override the filter form.

## `workFromHome` (type: `boolean`):

Only return remote / work-from-home listings (Internshala work\_from\_home-true filter).

## `partTime` (type: `boolean`):

Only return part-time listings.

## `minStipend` (type: `integer`):

Internships only. Internshala stipend floor (typical tiers 2000, 4000, 6000, 8000, 10000). Undisclosed / unpaid listings may still appear if Internshala includes them.

## `minSalary` (type: `integer`):

Jobs only. Internshala salary floor in annual INR (e.g. 500000 for ₹5 LPA).

## `durationMaxMonths` (type: `integer`):

Internships only. Internshala duration cap (1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 12, …).

## `withJobOffer` (type: `boolean`):

Internships only. Restrict to listings with a pre-placement / job-offer badge.

## `fastResponse` (type: `boolean`):

Internships only. Internshala fast\_response filter.

## `forWomen` (type: `boolean`):

Use Internshala’s internships-for-women board (internships only).

## `includeDetails` (type: `boolean`):

Fetch each listing page for apply-by date, start date, perks, openings, who-can-apply, about-company, and full description. Adds one HTTP request per listing.

## `maxItems` (type: `integer`):

Maximum listings to collect across all searches. 0 = unlimited (subject to maxPages).

## `maxPages` (type: `integer`):

Safety cap on Internshala pagination (~40–50 listings per page).

## `monitorMode` (type: `boolean`):

On a schedule, push and charge only listing IDs not seen in a previous run. First run delivers the full match set (baseline). Pair with an Apify Schedule and a stable monitorStoreName.

## `monitorStoreName` (type: `string`):

Named Key-Value store for seen listing IDs across scheduled runs. Use a distinct name per watch (e.g. python-bangalore vs marketing-wfh).

## `resetMonitorState` (type: `boolean`):

Clear the seen-listing cache before this run (next run becomes a new baseline).

## `proxyConfiguration` (type: `object`):

Optional. Internshala’s AJAX search works over datacenter traffic in testing. Leave proxy off for the cheapest run; add IN residential if you scale up and see blocks.
