## Pricing

from $0.25 / 1,000 delivered jobs

This Actor is paid per event. You are not charged for the Apify platform usage, but only a fixed price for specific events.
Since this Actor supports Apify Store discounts, the price gets lower the higher subscription plan you have.

## What's an Apify Actor?

An Actor is a serverless cloud program that runs on the Apify platform. It has two run modes.
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.

Apify vocabulary and the platform model are defined once, in the agent quickstart at https://apify.com/agents.md.

## 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.

Do not guess an integration path. Every one of them is in the agent quickstart at https://apify.com/agents.md: the Apify MCP server, Agent Skills with the Apify CLI, the JavaScript and Python clients, the REST API, and the account-free path for an agent with no human to sign in. It also carries the rule on stating cost before the first paid run.

For examples already wired to this Actor's own input schema, see the [API](#api) section below.

Each client library has reference documentation the quickstart does not restate: [JavaScript/TypeScript](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/js/docs.md) (`npm install apify-client`) and [Python](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/python/docs.md) (`pip install apify-client`).

# README

## Lever Jobs Scraper: Public Job Boards, Salaries & Descriptions

Export live job postings from **public Lever company job boards** (`jobs.lever.co/<company>`) with full descriptions, structured requirement sections, parsed compensation ranges (`salaryMin`, `salaryMax`, `salaryCurrency`, `salaryRange`), locations, workplace types (`onsite`, `hybrid`, `remote`), departments, teams and direct application links. No login, cookies or API key needed.

Works out of the box with companies using Lever (`palantir`, `spotify`, `shieldai`, `sonatype`, and thousands more). Running with empty input `{}` fetches Shield AI and Palantir's live boards so you can test with one click.

### For AI agents and MCP clients

- **One-line tool description:** Fetch live open job listings, parsed salary ranges, remote status, requirement sections, and full descriptions from one or more public Lever company job boards (`jobs.lever.co/<slug>`), filtered by keyword, location, or remote-only.
- **Apify MCP endpoint:** `https://mcp.apify.com?tools=datamule/lever-jobs-scraper`
- **High-value agent workflows:**
  1. **Recruiting & job-copilot agents:** Match candidate profiles against live engineering/AI roles with verified salary floors (`salaryMin >= 150000`) and remote/location filters.
  2. **Competitor hiring & GTM intelligence:** Track headcount expansion across target enterprise accounts by department, team, and country/city.
  3. **Compensation benchmarking:** Aggregate published salary bands (`salaryMin`, `salaryMax`, `salaryCurrency`, `salaryInterval`) across companies using Lever.

### Example input

```json
{
  "boards": ["shieldai", "palantir", "spotify"],
  "maxJobs": 25,
  "keyword": "engineer",
  "location": "",
  "remoteOnly": false
}
```

- `boards`: 1–50 Lever company slugs (e.g. `"palantir"`, `"spotify"`, `"shieldai"`) or board URLs (`"https://jobs.lever.co/palantir"`).
- `maxJobs`: Global cap across all supplied boards (1–10,000, default 25).
- `keyword`: Optional case-insensitive substring matched against title, department, or team.
- `location`: Optional case-insensitive substring matched against location, allLocations, or country.
- `remoteOnly`: When `true`, keeps only remote-eligible listings.

### Example output (real Shield AI posting, description shortened)

```json
{
  "boardSlug": "shieldai",
  "jobId": "635e3e12-56bc-445e-969f-8325f8fb339d",
  "title": "Senior Autonomy Software Engineer",
  "department": "Engineering",
  "team": "Autonomy",
  "commitment": "Full Time Employee",
  "location": "San Diego, CA",
  "allLocations": ["San Diego, CA"],
  "country": "US",
  "workplaceType": "onsite",
  "isRemote": false,
  "createdAt": "2026-10-15T18:20:00+00:00",
  "salaryRange": "USD 168,000 - 252,000 (per-year-salary)",
  "salaryMin": 168000.0,
  "salaryMax": 252000.0,
  "salaryCurrency": "USD",

  "descriptionHtml": "<div>Shield AI is building...</div>",
  "sections": [
    {"heading": "What You'll Do", "text": "..."},
    {"heading": "Required Qualifications", "text": "..."}
  ],
  "sourceUrl": "https://api.lever.co/v0/postings/shieldai?mode=json",
  "scrapedAt": "2026-10-22T14:00:00+00:00"
}
```

### Pricing & budget control

Pay per event: **US$0.35 per 1,000 delivered jobs** (`$0.00035` per `job` on the Free plan, tiered down to `$0.000175` on Diamond), with **no actor-start fee** beyond platform defaults. You pay only for jobs written to the dataset, and full descriptions + salary data are included at no extra cost.

Your **Maximum cost per run** is strictly respected: the Actor checks remaining budget before every board request and clips delivered batches via Apify's charging manager so you are never billed past your cap.

### Python API quickstart

```python
import os, json, urllib.request

token = os.environ["APIFY_TOKEN"]
url = f"https://api.apify.com/v2/acts/datamule~lever-jobs-scraper/run-sync-get-dataset-items?token={token}&maxTotalChargeUsd=0.05"
payload = json.dumps({"boards": ["shieldai", "palantir"], "keyword": "engineer", "maxJobs": 20}).encode()
req = urllib.request.Request(url, data=payload, headers={"Content-Type": "application/json"}, method="POST")
jobs = json.loads(urllib.request.urlopen(req, timeout=120).read())
for j in jobs[:5]:
    print(j["boardSlug"], "|", j["title"], "|", j["salaryRange"], "|", j["jobUrl"])
```

### Scope & limits

- Queries the documented public Lever Postings API (`https://api.lever.co/v0/postings/{slug}?mode=json`).
- This Actor extracts company boards you name in `boards`; it does not crawl the web to discover unknown company slugs.
- Salary fields are populated whenever the employer publishes `salaryRange` on Lever; otherwise they are `null`.
- Not affiliated with or endorsed by Lever / Employ Inc.

# Actor input Schema

## `boards` (type: `array`):

1–50 Lever company board slugs (e.g. 'shieldai', 'palantir', 'spotify', 'sonatype') or HTTPS URLs (https://jobs.lever.co/palantir). Defaults to \['shieldai', 'palantir'] when left empty so a one-click trial run works out of the box.

## `maxJobs` (type: `integer`):

Global cap on jobs delivered across all supplied boards (1–10,000). Each delivered job is 1 billable event.

## `keyword` (type: `string`):

Optional case-insensitive substring matched against job title, department or team (e.g. 'engineer', 'software', 'sales').

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

Optional case-insensitive substring matched against location, allLocations or country (e.g. 'Singapore', 'Washington', 'London', 'Remote').

## `remoteOnly` (type: `boolean`):

When enabled, emit only jobs marked remote (workplaceType=remote or 'Remote' in location/allLocations).

## Actor input object example

```json
{
  "boards": [
    "shieldai",
    "palantir"
  ],
  "maxJobs": 10,
  "keyword": "",
  "location": "",
  "remoteOnly": false
}
```

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).
