Job Board New-Posting Monitor

Be the first to know when a job is posted — not the fiftieth to scrape the same board.

This monitor watches your searches on USAJobs (US federal jobs) and arbeitnow (remote-friendly jobs) and reports only genuinely new postings. Run it on a schedule; when nothing new appeared, it pushes nothing and charges nothing.

Why it's different

  • Cross-run dedup built in. Other actors dump the same postings every morning (and bill you for every row). This one remembers what it already reported and surfaces only what changed.
  • First-party APIs only. USAJobs' official API and arbeitnow's free public API — no fragile HTML scraping, no LinkedIn/Indeed terms-of-service risk, no proxy bills.
  • Pay per new posting, not per row. You are billed per genuinely new job delivered, never for re-delivering an unchanged list. A scheduled run that finds nothing new costs only the $0.001 start.
  • Multi-query from day one. Add up to 20 searches in one run; every row is tagged with the searchQuery that found it.
  • Freshness filter. postedWithinDays (USAJobs) ignores stale postings, so your first run starts clean instead of flooding you with months-old jobs.
  • Auditable runs. Every run writes a machine-readable receipt (<stateKey>-last-receipt in the state store) with per-search fetch counts, new/removed counters, and any errors.
  • Separate memories. Give each scheduled monitor its own stateKey and their baselines never mix.

Coverage note: the only other new-job monitor in the Store covers remote boards only (and arbeitnow solely as an opt-in remote-rows feed). Nobody monitors USAJobs, and nobody monitors the full arbeitnow board — this actor does both.

Inputs

FieldWhat it does
searchesYour searches. Each has a source (usajobs or arbeitnow), a keyword, and source-specific options (USAJobs: locationName, resultsPerPage, postedWithinDays; arbeitnow: remoteOnly, location, maxJobs).
usajobsApiKeyFree key from data.usajobs.gov — sign in, request API access. Required only for USAJobs searches; arbeitnow needs no key. Without it, USAJobs searches are skipped gracefully (arbeitnow still runs).
stateKeyNamespace for this monitor's memory. Use a different key per schedule.
reportInitialAsNewFirst run reports everything as new. Turn off to build the baseline silently.
detectRemovedAlso report postings that disappeared (filled/expired). Needs 2 consecutive misses to avoid false alarms.

Example input:

{
"searches": [
{"source": "usajobs", "keyword": "data analyst", "locationName": "New York, New York", "postedWithinDays": 7},
{"source": "arbeitnow", "keyword": "software engineer", "remoteOnly": true}
],
"usajobsApiKey": "YOUR_FREE_KEY",
"stateKey": "morning-alerts"
}

Output

One dataset row per new posting:

Pricing

Pay-per-event:

  • Actor start: $0.001
  • New posting delivered: $0.0015

A scheduled run that finds nothing new costs only the $0.001 start. Compare: per-row actors bill you for every posting they re-deliver, every run.

Notes

  • arbeitnow is a free public API — please don't abuse it; their terms ask you to link back to arbeitnow.com.
  • USAJobs requires the free Authorization-Key; the monitor sends the required User-Agent and Host headers for you.
  • removed rows are informational and are never billed.
