They run on the Apify platform to scrape websites, process data, connect APIs, and automate workflows. 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. 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 ## Personio Jobs Scraper Scrape any company's Personio job board and get clean, de-duplicated job JSON: title, department, office, employment type and canonical apply URLs. One click, no required fields, no LLM. ### What it does Personio is Europe's leading HR platform, powering hiring for 12,000+ companies (mostly EU/DACH-region). This actor reads any company's **public Personio XML career feed** and returns every open role as clean JSON: title, department, office, recruiting category, employment type, seniority and the canonical apply URL. Give it one company's Personio subdomain (`4401`) or several, and it handles the `.de`/`.com` domain variation automatically — de-duplicated and ready for your pipeline. **Why this one:** - **Official public XML career feed** — no HTML parsing, no proxies - **Automatic `.de`/`.com` domain fallback (Personio accounts use either)** - **Multi-company runs + monitor mode for scheduled diffing** - **No LLM anywhere** — deterministic output, predictable costs, no hallucinated fields - **Clean by default** — canonical URLs (tracking parameters stripped), parsed numbers, merged duplicates ### Quick start (no code) 1. Click **Try for free** / **Start** — every field has a working default, nothing is required. 2. (Optional) change **query** to what you need. 3. Open the **Dataset** tab when the run finishes → export as JSON, CSV or Excel. ### Input | Field | Required | Default | Description | |---|---|---|---| | `query` | no | `4401` | Personio career-site subdomain, comma-separated for multiple. Find it in the careers URL: `.jobs.personio.de` (or `.com`). | | `maxResults` | no | `20` | Maximum clean results (capped at 500) | | `enrich` | no | `false` | Deterministic enrichment per record — see below | | `monitor` | no | `false` | Compare with the previous run, flag NEW records only | Example input: ```json { "query": "4401", "maxResults": 50 } ```` ### Output Real example record (from a live run): ```json { "id": "2726014", "title": "Operations Superintendent", "url": "https://4401.jobs.personio.de/job/2726014", "location": "UAE", "seller": "4401", "team": "Contract Hire", "department": "Engineering - Operations", "commitment": "full-time", "created_at": "2026-07-23T15:54:10+00:00" } ``` The final `_summary` row carries run totals (`total_clean`, `deduped`, `enriched`); in monitor mode a `_changes` row lists keys new since the last run. **Field reference** | Field | Meaning | |---|---| | `id` | Personio position ID (stable, deduplication key) | | `title` | Job title | | `url` | Canonical apply URL, built as `.jobs.personio./job/` | | `seller` | Company's Personio subdomain | | `location` | Office, as published | | `team / department` | Recruiting category and department | | `commitment` | Schedule / employment type (full-time, fixed-term, etc.) | | `created_at` | Position creation timestamp | | `price` / `price_text` | Parsed numeric value + original text, when the source publishes one | | `completeness` | 0–1 filled-fields score (with `enrich`) | ### Use cases - **EU/DACH hiring watch** — Personio's base skews strongly European; track hiring where most other ATS scrapers don't reach. - **Competitor hiring watch** — schedule with monitor mode; `change-alert` fires only on NEW roles. - **Talent mapping** — `department`/`team` show exactly where a company is growing. - **Market research** — measure hiring velocity by office/region across an industry. - **AI agents** — live 'is company X hiring in Europe?' answers via MCP. ### Enrichment (optional, charged only when it produces something) Set `enrich: true` and every record additionally gets: e-mail addresses extracted from the description (when present), the canonical `domain` of the record's URL, and a `completeness` score (0–1, how many core fields are filled). Deterministic — the same input always yields the same output — and you are **only charged for records that actually got enriched**. Records where enrichment adds nothing are free. ### Monitor mode — change alerts on a schedule Set `monitor: true` and the actor compares the current run with the previous one (per-actor named storage) and flags **only NEW records**. Combine with [Apify Schedules](https://docs.apify.com/platform/schedules) for a daily/hourly watch: the `_changes` summary row lists what appeared since the last run, and the `change-alert` event is charged **per new record only** — an unchanged run costs you almost nothing. ### Use it from your code **Python** ```python from apify_client import ApifyClient client = ApifyClient("") run = client.actor("EnezLi/personio-scraper").call(run_input={ "query": "4401", "maxResults": 50 }) for item in client.dataset(run["defaultDatasetId"]).iterate_items(): print(item) ``` **JavaScript** ```javascript import { ApifyClient } from 'apify-client'; const client = new ApifyClient({ token: '' }); const { defaultDatasetId } = await client.actor('EnezLi/personio-scraper').call({ "query": "4401", "maxResults": 50 }); const { items } = await client.dataset(defaultDatasetId).listItems(); console.log(items); ``` **curl** ```bash curl -X POST "https://api.apify.com/v2/acts/EnezLi~personio-scraper/run-sync-get-dataset-items?token=" \ -H "Content-Type: application/json" \ -d '{ "query": "4401", "maxResults": 50 }' ``` ### Use it with AI agents (MCP) This actor is agent-ready: it appears in Apify's **AGENTS / MCP servers** catalog, so any MCP-capable assistant (Claude, custom agents, LangGraph tools) can discover and call it with a one-line tool call — zero required fields means an agent can run it safely with defaults. Connect your agent to the [Apify MCP server](https://docs.apify.com/platform/integrations/mcp) and ask for live data in natural language. ### Pricing — Pay-Per-Event, start is free | Event | When charged | |---|---| | Actor start | **Free ($0)** — try it with one click | | `result` | Per clean result returned | | `enrichment` | Only per record that actually got enriched | | `change-alert` | Monitor mode: per NEW record since the previous run | No subscription, no minimum. Volume discounts apply automatically through Apify account tiers (up to −44% on GOLD). Typical run cost example: 20 results ≈ a few cents total — you can predict your bill from the numbers above before you run. ### Is this legal? This actor collects **publicly available data only** — the same information any visitor sees in a browser, via public endpoints. It does not bypass logins, collect private personal data, or store credentials. You are responsible for using the output in compliance with the source site's terms and the laws that apply to you (e.g. GDPR when the output contains personal data). ### Support & feedback Found a bug, need another field, or want a variant for a related platform? **Open an issue on the Issues tab** — issues are monitored and answered, and frequently-requested fields get added to the standard output. The actor is maintained as part of a scraper family built on one shared, tested core (bugs fixed once are fixed everywhere). ### Changelog - **0.1** (2026-07) — initial public release: search, dedup, optional enrichment, monitor mode, PPE pricing. ### Limitations (honest ones) Reads Personio's official public XML career feed; companies that left Personio or unlisted their board return zero rows. Full HTML job description is not included yet (plain-text excerpt only). ### FAQ **How do I find a company's Personio subdomain?** Open the company's careers page; if it's on Personio the URL looks like `4401.jobs.personio.de` — the first part is the subdomain to use. **Why XML instead of JSON?** Personio's official public career feed is XML by design; the actor parses it for you and returns clean JSON either way — no difference in what you receive. **A company returned zero jobs — why?** Either the subdomain is misspelled, the company has no open roles, or they use the other domain (`.de` vs `.com` — the actor tries both automatically). Nothing is charged for a zero-result run. **Do I need an API key or account on the source platform?** No. The actor uses public endpoints — you only need your Apify account. **Does it use AI / an LLM?** No. The core is fully deterministic: same input, same output, no hallucinations, no per-token costs. **Can I run it on a schedule?** Yes — use Apify Schedules; combine with monitor mode to pay only for what's new. **What's the maximum number of results?** 500 per run (memory-safe cap). Run multiple queries or schedule runs for more. **How is my bill calculated?** Only from the events in the Pricing table — start is free, and there is no subscription. # Actor input Schema ## `query` (type: `string`): What to search for on Personio. Leave empty to use the default example query — the actor runs with one click, no required fields. ## `maxResults` (type: `integer`): Maximum number of clean results to return (capped at 500). ## `enrich` (type: `boolean`): Adds deterministic enrichment per record: extracted emails, canonical domain and a completeness score. Charged per enriched record (see Pricing). ## `monitor` (type: `boolean`): Compares this run with the previous one and flags NEW records only. Ideal for scheduled runs — get alerted when something changes. Charged per change. ## Actor input object example ```json { "query": "4401", "maxResults": 20, "enrich": false, "monitor": false } ``` # API You can run this Actor programmatically using our API.
