Output

6.1 Output destination

The actor writes results to an Apify dataset as JSON records. And the dataset is designed for direct consumption by analytics tools, ETL pipelines, and downstream APIs without post-processing.

6.2 Record envelope (all items)

Every record includes these stable identifiers:

• type (string, required): Record type. For this actor, the public record type is job.
• id (number, required): Stable GulfTalent job identifier.
• url (string, required): Canonical public URL of the job listing.

Recommended idempotency key: type + ":" + id
