## What's an Apify Actor?

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.md):

```bash
npm install apify-client
```

In Python projects, use official [Python client library](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/python.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/platform/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.

For more details, see Apify documentation as [Markdown index](https://docs.apify.com/llms.txt) and [Markdown full-text](https://docs.apify.com/llms-full.txt).


# README

## India Jobs Suite — Naukri + Foundit + Shine Scraper

Scrape job listings from **Naukri**, **Foundit (Monster India)** and **Shine** in a **single run**, merged into one clean, consistent JSON schema with automatic cross-board deduplication. The only India job scraper that unifies all three boards in one actor.

### Why this actor

Other scrapers cover one board at a time. If you want a complete picture of the Indian job market you'd run three different actors, get three different schemas, and dedupe by hand. This actor does all of it for you:

- ✅ **3 boards, 1 schema** — `title`, `company`, `locations`, `salaryRaw`, `experienceMin/Max`, `skills`, `postedAt`, `jobUrl`, recruiter contact and more.
- ✅ **Cross-board dedupe** — the same job posted to multiple boards is collapsed to one row (toggle off if you want raw).
- ✅ **Salary + experience parsed** wherever the board exposes it.
- ✅ **Pay only for what you get** — pay-per-event pricing, no monthly subscription.

### Input

| Field | Type | Description |
|---|---|---|
| `keyword` | string (required) | Job title or skill, e.g. `python developer`, `data analyst`, `sales manager` |
| `location` | string | City, e.g. `bangalore`. Blank = all India |
| `boards` | array | Any of `naukri`, `foundit`, `shine`. Default = all three |
| `maxItemsPerBoard` | integer | Cap per board before merge (default 100) |
| `dedupe` | boolean | Remove duplicate jobs across boards (default true) |

#### Example input
```json
{
  "keyword": "python developer",
  "location": "bangalore",
  "boards": ["naukri", "foundit", "shine"],
  "maxItemsPerBoard": 100,
  "dedupe": true
}
````

### Output

Each row in the dataset:

```json
{
  "source": "naukri",
  "title": "Python Software Developer AWS",
  "company": "Capgemini",
  "locations": ["Hybrid - Bengaluru", "Mumbai (All Areas)"],
  "experienceMin": 7,
  "experienceMax": 12,
  "salaryRaw": "15-30 Lacs PA",
  "skills": ["FastAPI", "python developer", "GCP Cloud"],
  "postedAt": "2026-06-05T00:00:00.000Z",
  "jobUrl": "https://www.naukri.com/job-listings-...",
  "industry": "IT Services & Consulting",
  "employmentType": "Full time",
  "recruiterPhone": null,
  "recruiterEmail": null,
  "scrapedAt": "2026-06-09T20:12:30.726Z"
}
```

### Use cases

- **Recruiters & staffing agencies** — pull fresh openings across all three boards into one sheet.
- **Job aggregators & job-search products** — feed a unified India jobs index.
- **AI job-search agents** — call this actor as an MCP tool to fetch live listings.
- **Market researchers** — track demand, salaries and in-demand skills by role and city.

### Notes

- Scrapes **publicly visible** listing data only.
- Naukri runs through a real browser session for reliability; Foundit and Shine use their public data endpoints.
- Built on the Apify SDK + Crawlee. Residential India proxies recommended for large runs.

### Pricing

Pay-per-event: a small flat fee per run plus a per-job fee. You pay only for jobs actually returned — see the **Pricing** tab.

## `maxItemsPerBoard` (type: `integer`):

Cap on jobs collected from each board before merging/dedupe.

## `dedupe` (type: `boolean`):

Drop the same job (title + company) when it appears on more than one board.

    "foundit",
    "shine"
  ],
  "maxItemsPerBoard": 100,
