## 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

## SmartRecruiters Jobs Scraper: live job listings from any SmartRecruiters career site

Get every open job from a company that runs its careers page on **SmartRecruiters**, as clean JSON, in seconds. Paste the career site URL or the company slug, or leave it empty and search a built-in index of **180 SmartRecruiters companies** by keyword, location and country.

No login, no API key, no proxies, nothing that breaks. The data comes from the public endpoint SmartRecruiters itself publishes for every customer's job board, so a posting is here the moment the employer publishes it, before any aggregator copies it.

**Run it with the default input to see it work.** It returns live openings from wise.

### What you get

One row per open job, the same schema as all DataSignals Lab ATS scrapers (Greenhouse, Lever, Ashby, Workable, SmartRecruiters, Teamtailor, Workday), so you can combine feeds without remapping fields.

| field | meaning |
|---|---|
| `title` | job title |
| `company` | the slug or site you asked for |
| `platform` | always `smartrecruiters` |
| `job_id` | the employer's own posting id, stable across runs |
| `location` | location as the employer wrote it |
| `country` | normalised country name, derived from the location |
| `remote` | true, false or null (only set on explicit signals) |
| `department` | team or department when the employer provides it |
| `employment_type` | full time, part time, contract, when provided |
| `posted_at` | ISO 8601 UTC timestamp when the posting went live |
| `apply_url` | direct link to the posting |
| `description` | plain-text description, up to 4000 characters (switch off with `includeDescription`) |

Example row:

```json
{
  "title": "Senior Backend Engineer",
  "company": "wise",
  "platform": "smartrecruiters",
  "job_id": "4012345",
  "location": "Amsterdam, Netherlands",
  "country": "Netherlands",
  "remote": false,
  "department": "Engineering",
  "employment_type": "Full-time",
  "posted_at": "2026-09-28T09:14:02+00:00",
  "apply_url": "https://jobs.smartrecruiters.com/wise/744000012345678-senior-backend-engineer",
  "description": "We are looking for ..."
}
```

### Input

| field | what it does |
|---|---|
| `companies` | The company identifier in the URL, for example 'Wise' in careers.smartrecruiters.com/Wise. Full URLs are accepted, for example `https://careers.smartrecruiters.com/Wise`. Empty means: search the built-in index. |
| `keywords` | match on title and department, case-insensitive. Empty returns every open job. |
| `location` | substring match on the location text, for example `Berlin`. |
| `country` | normalised country filter, for example `Germany`. More reliable than `location` for countries. |
| `remoteOnly` | keep only jobs flagged remote. |
| `maxJobs` | hard stop and budget cap, default 500. |
| `maxJobsPerCompany` | cap per employer, 0 means none. |
| `includeDescription` | default true. Off gives a lighter dataset. |
| `companyFilter`, `maxCompanies` | narrow the built-in index when `companies` is empty. |

Minimal input:

```json
{ "companies": ["wise", "thenielsencompany", "vuoriinc"] }
```

Search the index instead:

```json
{ "keywords": ["data engineer"], "country": "Germany", "maxCompanies": 100, "maxJobs": 300 }
```

### Pricing

Pay per job returned: **$2 per 1,000 jobs**, charged only for rows that pass your filters and land in the dataset. A failed company or an empty result costs nothing beyond the few seconds of compute. Apify's free monthly credit covers thousands of jobs, so you can evaluate the feed without paying.

#### Subscriptions and shared agent access

Scored signals from SEC, FDA, Congress and other official filings. The daily output is hashed and anchored, so past signals cannot be edited. Agents call it over MCP. [See the track record](https://datasignalslab.com/proof.html)

Every score in every report lists the terms it was built from, so you can check the number instead of trusting it.

This Actor is part of [DataSignals Lab](https://datasignalslab.com). It does not feed the signal reports. The plans below cover those and the shared MCP access. All prices are listed on the [pricing page](https://datasignalslab.com/pricing.html):

- **Free.** Report previews, a weekly signal digest and 50 free MCP calls per month for AI agents.
- **Snapshot, $19 one time.** The current edition of one report plus 30 days of updates.
- **DataSignals Pro, $29 per month or $290 per year.** All three reports refreshed monthly, MCP access for AI agents (2000 calls per month fair use), email alerts. Cancel anytime.

### Who uses this

- Recruiters and sourcers who want the posting before it reaches LinkedIn or Indeed.
- Job boards and job search products that need a normalised feed per employer.
- Sales and growth teams using hiring as an intent signal: who is hiring for what, where, since when.
- Analysts tracking headcount growth per company and per department.
- AI agents and automations (n8n, Make, Zapier, Apify MCP server) that need structured openings instead of HTML.

### How it compares

Scrapers that read LinkedIn or Indeed fight bot protection, need residential proxies and deliver postings a day late. This Actor reads the SmartRecruiters endpoint `api.smartrecruiters.com/v1/companies/{slug}/postings` directly: it is the source, it is stable, and it is free of anti-bot measures. If you need several ATS platforms in one run, use [Job Search API](https://apify.com/datasignalslab/job-search-api), which detects the platform per company automatically.

### Limits and honesty

- Only companies on SmartRecruiters. A slug on another platform returns "not found" for that company, nothing else.
- The built-in index is a snapshot of 180 companies refreshed monthly. Companies you name explicitly are fetched live and do not need to be in the index.
- Description text is limited to 4000 characters of plain text, HTML removed.

### Integrations

Works with the Apify API, scheduled runs, webhooks, and the Apify MCP server, so Claude, ChatGPT and other agents can call it as a tool. Export to JSON, CSV, Excel or push into Google Sheets.

# Actor input Schema

## `companies` (type: `array`):

One per line: the company identifier in the URL, for example 'Wise' in careers.smartrecruiters.com/Wise. Full URLs work too, for example https://careers.smartrecruiters.com/Wise. Leave empty to search the built-in index of 180 SmartRecruiters companies instead.

## `keywords` (type: `array`):

Matches job title and department, case-insensitive. Leave empty to return every open job.

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

Substring match on the location as the employer wrote it, for example 'Berlin' or 'New York'.

## `country` (type: `string`):

Normalised country filter, for example 'Germany', 'United States', 'Netherlands'. Resolves 'Remote Canada' and 'Mountain View, CA' alike. Empty means any country.

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

Keep only jobs the employer flagged as remote.

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

Hard stop across all companies. You pay per job returned, so this is also your budget cap. 0 means no limit.

## `maxJobsPerCompany` (type: `integer`):

0 means no cap. Set a number to stop one large employer from filling the whole result set.

## `includeDescription` (type: `boolean`):

Plain-text description (up to 4000 characters). Turn off for a lighter dataset when you only need titles, locations and apply links.

## `searchDescriptions` (type: `boolean`):

Off by default: nearly every description mentions words like 'engineer'. Turn on for a deliberately broad search.

## `companyFilter` (type: `string`):

Only used when Companies is empty. Narrows the built-in SmartRecruiters index by company name.

## `maxCompanies` (type: `integer`):

Only used when Companies is empty. 0 means the whole SmartRecruiters index.

## MCP server setup

```json
{
    "mcpServers": {
        "apify": {
            "type": "http",
            "url": "https://mcp.apify.com/?tools=fetch-actor-details,datasignalslab/smartrecruiters-jobs-scraper"
        }
    }
}
```

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).
