Actors are a software tools running on the Apify platform, for all kinds of web data extraction and automation use cases. 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. Actors are written with capital "A". ## 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. The best way to integrate Actors is as follows. In JavaScript/TypeScript projects, use official [JavaScript/TypeScript client](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/js/docs.md): ```bash npm install apify-client ``` In Python projects, use official [Python client library](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/python/docs.md): ```bash pip install apify-client ``` In shell scripts, use [Apify CLI](https://docs.apify.com/cli/docs.md): ````bash # MacOS / Linux curl -fsSL https://apify.com/install-cli.sh | bash # Windows irm https://apify.com/install-cli.ps1 | iex ```bash In AI frameworks, you might use the [Apify MCP server](https://docs.apify.com/integrations/mcp.md). If your project is in a different language, use the [REST API](https://docs.apify.com/api/v2.md). For usage examples, see the [API](#api) section below.

Devil Scrapes mark ## BambooHR Jobs Scraper **๐Ÿ’ฐ $1.50 / 1 000 results**  ยท  pay only for results  ยท  no credit card to try _We do the dirty work so your dataset stays clean._ ๐Ÿ˜ˆ Scrape every open job posting from any BambooHR-powered company career site (`{subdomain}.bamboohr.com/careers`) through BambooHR's own careers JSON endpoints โ€” no login, no per-company setup. Feed it subdomains or career-site URLs and get titles, departments, locations, posting dates, and optional full descriptions as clean typed rows.
--- ### ๐ŸŽฏ What this scrapes BambooHR is one of the most widely deployed SMB HR platforms, and every company running a public careers page on it shares the same JSON contract: a `/careers/list` endpoint that returns the current open-postings feed, and a `/careers/{id}/detail` endpoint that returns the full posting body. This Actor talks to both directly: point it at one or more BambooHR subdomains โ€” bare (`adobe`) or a full `https://adobe.bamboohr.com/careers` URL โ€” and it pulls every open job, optionally fetches each posting's full description, and normalizes everything into one row schema across every tenant you throw at it. ### ๐Ÿ”ฅ Features - ๐Ÿ›ก๏ธ **Browser fingerprint rotation** โ€” `curl-cffi` rotates real Chrome / Firefox TLS and HTTP/2 handshakes across requests, so every call looks like a browser, never a bare Python client. - ๐Ÿ” **Retries with exponential backoff** on `408 / 429 / 5xx`, up to 5 attempts, `Retry-After` honoured โ€” a company that hiccups mid-run doesn't take the whole job down with it. - ๐ŸŒ **Proxy session rotation** via Apify Proxy โ€” a fresh session and exit IP whenever a request needs one, at no extra step for you. - ๐Ÿข **Per-company failure isolation** โ€” an unclaimed subdomain or a company with zero current openings just returns zero rows; one bad entry in a batch never sinks the others. - ๐Ÿ“ **Optional full descriptions** โ€” flip `fetchFullDescription` on for the complete HTML body plus status, country, and posting date; leave it off for a fast titles-and-locations pull. - ๐ŸงŠ **Clean, typed rows** โ€” Pydantic-validated, ISO-8601 timestamps, stable job IDs. Export JSON / CSV / Excel straight from the Apify Console. - ๐Ÿ’ฐ **Pay only for results that land** โ€” a job that a company genuinely has zero of costs nothing beyond the flat per-run warm-up fee. ### ๐Ÿ’ก Use cases - **Recruiting & sourcing** โ€” build a pipeline against every employer running BambooHR, in one normalized schema. - **Hiring-intent signal for sales & BD** โ€” open reqs surface headcount growth, new-market entry, and tech-stack shifts before they hit the news. - **Job-board aggregation** โ€” add BambooHR coverage alongside Workday, SmartRecruiters, Greenhouse, Lever, Ashby, Workable, and Teamtailor in one pipeline. - **Labor-market & HR-tech research** โ€” sample hiring demand across an industry, region, or company size band. - **Competitive-intel tracking** โ€” watch a competitor's live openings to infer team growth and roadmap direction. ### โš™๏ธ How to use it 1. Click **Try for free** at the top of the Store listing. 2. Add one or more entries to **Companies** โ€” a bare subdomain like `adobe`, or a full `https://adobe.bamboohr.com/careers` URL. 3. Optionally set **Max jobs per company** and toggle **Fetch full description**. 4. Click **Start**. Rows stream into the dataset as each company's board is fetched. 5. Export from **Storage โ†’ Dataset** as JSON, CSV, or Excel โ€” or pull via the Apify API. ### ๐Ÿ“ฅ Input | Field | Type | Required | Default | Notes | |---|---|:--:|---|---| | `companies` | `array` | โœ… | โ€” | 1โ€“1000 entries: bare BambooHR subdomain (`"adobe"`) or full `https://{subdomain}.bamboohr.com` URL. A custom-domain URL is rejected โ€” use the bare subdomain instead. | | `maxJobsPerCompany` | `integer` | no | `100` | Cap rows emitted per company, applied after parsing (1โ€“5000). | | `fetchFullDescription` | `boolean` | no | `true` | Fetches `/careers/{id}/detail` per job to populate `job_status`, `location_country`, `date_posted`, `description_html`, and `description_text`. Off = faster, cheaper runs; those five fields stay `null`. | | `proxyConfiguration` | `object` | no | `{"useApifyProxy": true}` | Apify Proxy configuration. | #### Example input ```json { "companies": ["adobe", "nycballet"], "maxJobsPerCompany": 10, "fetchFullDescription": true, "proxyConfiguration": { "useApifyProxy": true } } ```` ### ๐Ÿ“ค Output One dataset item per job posting. Fields marked **(detail)** are populated only when `fetchFullDescription` is on. | Field | Type | Notes | |---|---|---| | `company` | `string` | Normalized input subdomain (not any display name) โ€” stays stable across repeated runs. | | `job_id` | `integer` | BambooHR's numeric posting ID. | | `job_title` | `string` | Posting title. | | `job_url` | `string` | Public posting URL โ€” always populated, even with descriptions off. | | `department` | `string \| null` | Department label, when set. | | `employment_type` | `string \| null` | e.g. `Full-Time`, when set. | | `job_status` | `string \| null` | e.g. `Open` **(detail)**. | | `location_city` | `string \| null` | Primary listed city. | | `location_state` | `string \| null` | Primary listed state/region. | | `location_country` | `string \| null` | Full country name **(detail)**. | | `is_remote` | `boolean \| null` | Tri-state โ€” `null` means the employer left it unspecified, not "on-site." | | `date_posted` | `date \| null` | ISO `YYYY-MM-DD` **(detail)**. | | `description_html` | `string \| null` | Full posting body, verbatim HTML **(detail)**. | | `description_text` | `string \| null` | Same body with HTML tags stripped **(detail)**. | | `scraped_at` | `datetime` | UTC ISO-8601 fetch timestamp. | #### Example output ```json { "company": "adobe", "job_id": 15, "job_title": "IT Security Engineer", "job_url": "https://adobe.bamboohr.com/careers/15", "department": "IT", "employment_type": "Full-Time", "job_status": "Open", "location_city": "Mayfair", "location_state": "London, City of", "location_country": "United Kingdom", "is_remote": null, "date_posted": "2025-11-29", "description_html": "

No subscription, no minimum, no card to start โ€” Apify gives every new account $5 of free credit. ### ๐Ÿšง Limitations - **Only `bamboohr.com` subdomains** โ€” a company that fronts its BambooHR careers page with a custom domain isn't resolvable; point this Actor at the underlying `{subdomain}.bamboohr.com` address instead. - **No compensation field** โ€” BambooHR's public feed doesn't expose structured salary data on any company we've checked, so we don't invent it. - **Descriptions cost an extra fetch** โ€” `fetchFullDescription` adds one detail request per posting (it changes runtime, not the per-result price). Leave it off for the fastest pull. - **No discovery mode** โ€” you supply the subdomains; this Actor doesn't crawl a directory of BambooHR customers. - **Point-in-time snapshot** โ€” returns each company's board as it stands right now; schedule recurring runs to track changes over time. ### โ“ FAQ **Do I need a BambooHR account or API key?** No โ€” every field comes from BambooHR's own careers-page JSON feed, the same one the public career site itself loads. **Does one run handle several companies?** Yes. List every subdomain in `companies` (up to 1 000) and every row comes back identically shaped, tagged with `company`. **What happens if a subdomain doesn't exist or has zero open jobs?** Both are normal outcomes, not errors โ€” you get zero rows for that company and the run keeps going, with a status message summarizing how many companies had openings. **Why doesn't `maxJobsPerCompany` change the price?** You're charged per row written, not per HTTP call โ€” capping results just controls dataset size, not the per-result rate. **Is this legal?** We fetch public, unauthenticated job-posting data that employers publish for candidates to browse. No login, no private endpoints. ### ๐Ÿ’ฌ Your feedback Spotted a bug, hit a company that behaves differently, or need an extra field? Open an issue on the Actor's **Issues** tab in Apify Console โ€” we ship fixes weekly and read every report. ***
