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
searchQuerythat 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-receiptin the state store) with per-search fetch counts, new/removed counters, and any errors. - Separate memories. Give each scheduled monitor its own
stateKeyand 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
| Field | What it does |
|---|---|
searches | Your searches. Each has a source (usajobs or arbeitnow), a keyword, and source-specific options (USAJobs: locationName, resultsPerPage, postedWithinDays; arbeitnow: remoteOnly, location, maxJobs). |
usajobsApiKey | Free 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). |
stateKey | Namespace for this monitor's memory. Use a different key per schedule. |
reportInitialAsNew | First run reports everything as new. Turn off to build the baseline silently. |
detectRemoved | Also 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:
| Field | Example |
|---|---|
changeType | new (or removed) |
source | usajobs / arbeitnow |
title | Data Analyst |
company | Department of Veterans Affairs |
location | Washington, DC |
url | direct link to the posting |
postedDate | 2026-09-22 |
remote | yes/no (arbeitnow) |
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 requiredUser-AgentandHostheaders for you. removedrows are informational and are never billed.
