# CSV to JSON Job Importer (`determined_alghoza_2aj/csv-to-json-importer`) Actor

A simple tool that takes a CSV string of job postings (e.g., from LinkedIn or Indeed exports) and converts it into a structured JSON array, making it easy to import job data into other workflows or databases without scraping any external sites.

## Pricing

$2.00 / 1,000 result items

This Actor is paid per event. You are not charged for the Apify platform usage, but only a fixed price for specific events.

## 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

## CSV to JSON Job Importer

A simple tool that takes a CSV string of job postings (e.g., from LinkedIn or Indeed exports) and converts it into a structured JSON array, making it easy to import job data into other workflows or databases without scraping any external sites.

### Example input

```json
{
  "csv_data": "job_title,company,location,description,salary\nSoftware Engineer,Acme Corp,New York,\"Develop web apps\",90000\nData Scientist,Beta Ltd,San Francisco,\"Build models\",110000",
  "delimiter": ","
}
```

Each result item contains: job\_title, company, location, description, salary.

# Actor input Schema

## `csv_data` (type: `string`):

CSV text with columns: job\_title, company, location, description, salary (optional). First row must be header.

## `delimiter` (type: `string`):

Character used to separate columns in the CSV.

## Actor input object example

```json
{
  "csv_data": "job_title,company,location,description,salary\nSoftware Engineer,Acme Corp,New York,\"Develop web apps\",90000\nData Scientist,Beta Ltd,San Francisco,\"Build models\",110000",
  "delimiter": ","
}
```

# Actor output Schema

## `results` (type: `string`):

# API

You can run this Actor programmatically using our API. Below are code examples in JavaScript, Python, and CLI, as well as the OpenAPI specification and MCP server setup.

## JavaScript example

```javascript
import { ApifyClient } from 'apify-client';

// Initialize the ApifyClient with your Apify API token
// Replace the '<YOUR_API_TOKEN>' with your token
const client = new ApifyClient({
    token: '<YOUR_API_TOKEN>',
});

// Prepare Actor input
const input = {
    "csv_data": `job_title,company,location,description,salary
Software Engineer,Acme Corp,New York,"Develop web apps",90000
Data Scientist,Beta Ltd,San Francisco,"Build models",110000`,
    "delimiter": ","
};

// Run the Actor and wait for it to finish
const run = await client.actor("determined_alghoza_2aj/csv-to-json-importer").call(input);

// Fetch and print Actor results from the run's dataset (if any)
console.log('Results from dataset');
console.log(`💾 Check your data here: https://console.apify.com/storage/datasets/${run.defaultDatasetId}`);
const { items } = await client.dataset(run.defaultDatasetId).listItems();
items.forEach((item) => {
    console.dir(item);
});

## Python example

```python
from apify_client import ApifyClient

# Initialize the ApifyClient with your Apify API token
# Replace '<YOUR_API_TOKEN>' with your token.
client = ApifyClient("<YOUR_API_TOKEN>")

# Prepare the Actor input
run_input = {
    "csv_data": """job_title,company,location,description,salary
Software Engineer,Acme Corp,New York,\"Develop web apps\",90000
Data Scientist,Beta Ltd,San Francisco,\"Build models\",110000""",
    "delimiter": ",",
}

# Run the Actor and wait for it to finish
run = client.actor("determined_alghoza_2aj/csv-to-json-importer").call(run_input=run_input)

# Fetch and print Actor results from the run's dataset (if there are any)
print(f"💾 Check your data here: https://console.apify.com/storage/datasets/{run.default_dataset_id}")
for item in client.dataset(run.default_dataset_id).iterate_items():
    print(item)

## CLI example

```bash
echo '{
  "csv_data": "job_title,company,location,description,salary\\nSoftware Engineer,Acme Corp,New York,\\"Develop web apps\\",90000\\nData Scientist,Beta Ltd,San Francisco,\\"Build models\\",110000",
  "delimiter": ","
}' |
apify call determined_alghoza_2aj/csv-to-json-importer --silent --output-dataset

```

## MCP server setup

```json
{
    "mcpServers": {
        "apify": {
            "type": "http",
            "url": "https://mcp.apify.com/?tools=fetch-actor-details,determined_alghoza_2aj/csv-to-json-importer"
        }
    }
}
```

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).
