## 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.

# README

## Nordic Jobs Scraper — Platsbanken (Sweden) + Arbeidsplassen (Norway)

**All data comes from official, government-operated open-data APIs. Nothing is scraped.** That makes this Actor uniquely reliable (no blocking, no CAPTCHAs, no HTML breakage) and uniquely compliant (source-approved data with published terms of use).

- 🇸🇪 **Sweden — Platsbanken**: [Arbetsförmedlingen JobTech Search API](https://jobsearch.api.jobtechdev.se) — the Swedish Public Employment Service's official open API covering the vast majority of publicly advertised jobs in Sweden.
- 🇳🇴 **Norway — Arbeidsplassen**: [NAV Job Vacancy Feed](https://navikt.github.io/pam-stilling-feed/) — the Norwegian Labour and Welfare Administration's official feed of job vacancies.

One run, one unified schema, two national labor markets — with English-normalized fields, salary when published, cross-board duplicate flagging, and a monitor mode for new-posting alert pipelines.

### Why this Actor

| | This Actor | Typical job scrapers |
|---|---|---|
| Data source | Official government APIs | HTML scraping |
| Blocking risk | None | Constant arms race |
| Legal posture | Published open-data terms, attributed | ToS gray zone |
| Recruiter PII | Actively filtered out | Often included |
| Proxies needed | No (runs cheap) | Yes |

### Input

| Field | Description |
|---|---|
| `sources` | `platsbanken` (SE), `arbeidsplassen` (NO), or both |
| `searchQuery` | Keywords, e.g. `react developer`. Norway: matched client-side (the NAV feed has no server-side search) |
| `location` | City/municipality/region, e.g. `Malmö`, `Oslo` |
| `employmentType` | `all` / `full_time` / `part_time` / `contract` / `internship` |
| `remoteOnly` | Sweden: API remote filter. Norway: best-effort keyword detection |
| `postedWithinDays` | Default 30 |
| `maxItemsPerSource` | Default 100, max 10 000 |
| `mode` | `scrape` (everything matching) or `monitor` (only postings not seen in previous runs — ideal for scheduled alerting) |
| `navFeedToken` | **Required for the Norway source**: your own registered NAV feed token (free — see Compliance below). Sweden needs no token |

### Output (one clean row per posting)

```json
{
  "id": "platsbanken-31243927",
  "source": "platsbanken",
  "country": "SE",
  "url": "https://arbetsformedlingen.se/platsbanken/annonser/31243927",
  "applyUrl": "https://…",
  "title": "Senior utvecklare",
  "titleEn": "Senior developer",
  "company": "Combitech Aktiebolag",
  "companyOrgId": "5562186790",
  "location": { "city": "Växjö", "region": "Kronobergs län", "country": "SE", "remote": false },
  "employmentType": "Heltid",
  "employmentTypeNormalized": "full_time",
  "salary": { "min": null, "max": null, "currency": "SEK", "period": "month", "raw": null },
  "description": "…PII-scrubbed text, max 3000 chars…",
  "skills": ["c#", ".net", "sql", "oracle", "git"],
  "publishedAt": "2026-07-03T09:50:08.000Z",
  "deadline": "2026-07-31T23:59:59.000Z",
  "duplicateOf": null,
  "isNewSinceLastRun": null,
  "scrapedAt": "2026-07-05T09:00:00.000Z"
}
````

Export as JSON, CSV, Excel, or feed it to the API/integrations like any Apify dataset.

#### Monitor mode → recruiting alerts

Set `mode: "monitor"` and schedule the Actor. Each run outputs only postings not seen before (state kept in a named key-value store). Wire the dataset into Slack/email/n8n/Make for instant new-job alerts.

#### Duplicate flagging

The same job posted in both countries (or twice in a feed) gets `duplicateOf` set to the first record's `id`, via a normalized `title + company` hash. Nothing is silently dropped — you decide.

### Compliance & legal (please read)

This Actor is built GDPR-first and open-data-only:

1. **Official sources with attribution.** Job ad data originates from **Arbetsförmedlingen (JobTech Development)**, used per their open-data terms, and from **NAV / Arbeidsplassen.no**, used per the [NAV API terms](https://arbeidsplassen.nav.no/vilkar-api). This Actor is **not affiliated with or endorsed by Arbetsförmedlingen or NAV**.
2. **NAV token — bring your own.** The Norway source runs **only with your own NAV consumer token** (`navFeedToken`); without it the source is skipped. Registration is free — email the NAV team as described in the [feed docs](https://navikt.github.io/pam-stilling-feed/) and agree to the [NAV API terms](https://arbeidsplassen.nav.no/vilkar-api). This means you consume NAV data under your own agreement with NAV, including **not retaining or displaying inactive/expired ads** — this Actor already outputs only ACTIVE ads.
3. **No recruiter PII — by design.** The output schema has no contact-person fields. NAV's `contactList` is never read. A tested scrubber redacts personal emails and phone numbers from descriptions (`[redacted-contact]`), while keeping generic company inboxes (`jobs@`, `hr@`, …). Where a contact is needed, use the posting's public `applyUrl`.
4. **You are the data controller downstream.** If you store or process this data, GDPR (and national law) applies to you: honor data-minimization, keep retention short (we recommend ≤30 days or until the ad's `deadline`), and delete postings that disappear from the source.
5. **No warranty.** This Actor is provided as-is, without warranty of any kind. You are solely responsible for how you use the data and for your own legal compliance.
6. **Takedown.** Employer or data subject who wants content removed from example outputs: open an issue on this Actor's Issues tab — handled promptly.

### Pricing

Pay per event: you're charged a small fee per job posting scraped (volume tiers apply), plus nothing else — platform usage is included. Because the sources are APIs, runs are fast and use minimal compute.

### FAQ

**Why no Denmark/Finland?** v1 ships only sources with official open APIs — that's the whole point of this Actor's reliability and compliance story. Danish/Finnish sources will be added if/when equivalently clean access exists. Feature requests welcome via the Issues tab.

**How fresh is the data?** Live at query time, straight from the source systems.

**Rate limits?** The Actor self-throttles politely and backs off on HTTP 429 automatically.

# Actor input Schema

## `sources` (type: `array`):

Official open-data APIs to query. Sweden: Arbetsförmedlingen JobTech (no key needed). Norway: NAV Arbeidsplassen feed — requires your own free NAV consumer token (see navFeedToken).

## `searchQuery` (type: `string`):

e.g. 'react developer' or 'sjuksköterska'. For Norway the NAV feed has no server-side search, so keywords are matched against title/description client-side.

## `location` (type: `string`):

City, municipality or region, e.g. 'Malmö', 'Oslo', 'Skåne'.

## `employmentType` (type: `string`):

Normalized employment type filter applied to results.

## `remoteOnly` (type: `boolean`):

Sweden: uses the API's remote filter. Norway: best-effort keyword detection.

## `postedWithinDays` (type: `integer`):

Only include postings published within this many days.

## `maxItemsPerSource` (type: `integer`):

Hard cap of results per selected source.

## `mode` (type: `string`):

Scrape returns everything matching; monitor returns only postings not seen in previous runs (state kept in a named key-value store).

## `monitorStoreName` (type: `string`):

Named key-value store used to remember postings already seen in monitor mode. Default: nordic-jobs-monitor.

## `navFeedToken` (type: `string`):

REQUIRED for the Norway source. Your own NAV pam-stilling-feed bearer token — register as a consumer for free (https://navikt.github.io/pam-stilling-feed/) and agree to the NAV API terms (https://arbeidsplassen.nav.no/vilkar-api). Without it, the Norway source is skipped. Sweden needs no token.
