## What's an Apify Actor?

An Actor is a serverless cloud program that runs on the Apify platform. It has two run modes.
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.

Apify vocabulary and the platform model are defined once, in the agent quickstart at https://apify.com/agents.md.

## 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.

Do not guess an integration path. Every one of them is in the agent quickstart at https://apify.com/agents.md: the Apify MCP server, Agent Skills with the Apify CLI, the JavaScript and Python clients, the REST API, and the account-free path for an agent with no human to sign in. It also carries the rule on stating cost before the first paid run.

For examples already wired to this Actor's own input schema, see the [API](#api) section below.

Each client library has reference documentation the quickstart does not restate: [JavaScript/TypeScript](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/js/docs.md) (`npm install apify-client`) and [Python](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/python/docs.md) (`pip install apify-client`).

# README

## Lever Jobs Scraper: any company on Lever (jobs.lever.co)

Thousands of companies, most of them startups and scale-ups, publish their open roles on **Lever**. This Actor pulls every open job from any Lever career board into a clean, normalized dataset, using the Lever Postings API (api.lever.co and api.eu.lever.co), the official public endpoint Lever provides for career sites.

**At a glance:** $1.00 per 1,000 jobs. Pay per result with no subscription, set a maximum cost per run, export to JSON, CSV or Excel, or call it from the Apify API, Make, Zapier or n8n.

No login, no cookies, no browser, no proxy. A board with hundreds of jobs takes a few seconds.

### What you get

- **Every open job per company** with team, department, all locations, workplace type, commitment (full-time, contract), salary range when the company publishes it, `postedAt`, and full description including the lists Lever stores separately.
- **Built-in company directory.** Turn on "Search the built-in company directory" and the Actor scrapes 58 verified Lever boards for you (startups and tech companies). Combine it with keyword, location and date filters to search across companies without building a list yourself.
- **Paste anything:** a company slug, a board URL, or the company's own careers page. The Actor finds the Lever board.
- **Salary data:** structured pay from Lever when the company publishes it, otherwise parsed from the description ("$120,000 - $150,000 USD", "£50k-£60k").
- **Filters:** title keywords, excluded words, locations, remote only, departments, posted within N days.
- **Monitoring mode:** `onlyNewJobs` returns only jobs you have not seen in earlier runs. Schedule it daily and you pay only for new postings.
- **Reliable:** a bad slug never fails the run. `RUN_SUMMARY` reports every board with jobs found, matched and returned, and any error.

### Use cases

- Job boards and newsletters that need fresh startup jobs.
- Recruiters and sales teams tracking hiring signals at target accounts.
- Investors and analysts tracking headcount plans across a portfolio.
- Job seekers watching a set of companies for new roles.

### Input

| Field | Type | Description |
|---|---|---|
| `companies` | array | Company slugs, board URLs, or careers pages. |
| `searchDirectory` | boolean | Also scrape every board in the built-in directory. |
| `maxDirectoryCompanies` | integer | Use only the N largest directory boards. 0 means all. |
| `keywords` | array | Keep titles containing any of these words. |
| `excludeKeywords` | array | Drop titles containing any of these words. |
| `searchInDescription` | boolean | Match `keywords` in the description too. |
| `locations` | array | Keep jobs whose location contains any of these strings. |
| `remoteOnly` | boolean | Only remote jobs. |
| `departments` | array | Keep jobs whose department or team contains any of these strings. |
| `postedWithinDays` | integer | Only jobs posted in the last N days. |
| `onlyNewJobs` | boolean | Monitoring mode. |
| `stateStoreName` | string | Named key-value store for monitoring state. One name per monitor. |
| `includeDescription` | boolean | Include the full description (default true). |
| `descriptionFormat` | `text`, `html`, `both` | Description format. |
| `maxJobsPerCompany` | integer | Cap per company, 0 for no cap. |
| `maxTotalJobs` | integer | Cap per run, 0 for no cap. |
| `maxConcurrency` | integer | Companies scraped in parallel (1 to 20). |

Accepted `companies` entries:

```
palantir
https://jobs.lever.co/spotify
https://jobs.eu.lever.co/<company>
lever:palantir
```

**How to find the slug:** Open the company careers page and click any job. If the address is `jobs.lever.co/<name>/...`, `<name>` is the slug. EU boards (`jobs.eu.lever.co`) are detected automatically.

#### Example: search the directory for remote engineering jobs posted this week

```json
{
  "searchDirectory": true,
  "keywords": ["engineer"],
  "remoteOnly": true,
  "postedWithinDays": 7,
  "includeDescription": false
}
```

#### Example: monitor a few companies

```json
{
  "companies": ["palantir", "https://jobs.lever.co/spotify"],
  "onlyNewJobs": true
}
```

### Output

One dataset item per job:

```json
{
  "id": "ac978161-6f46-4f6b-ad9e-a258e642751c",
  "ats": "lever",

  "scrapedAt": "2026-10-27T17:45:27.210104+00:00"
}
```

Fields are always present and `null` when Lever does not publish them. `uid` is stable across runs.

### Pricing

Pay per result: **$1.00 per 1,000 jobs** ($0.001 per job). Filtered out jobs and already seen jobs in monitoring mode are free. Set **Maximum cost per run** and the Actor stops cleanly when it is reached; the status message says so.

### Other platforms

The companion **ATS Jobs Scraper** covers Greenhouse, Lever, Ashby, Workable, Recruitee and Workday in one Actor and auto-detects the platform from a bare company name. The **Workday Jobs Scraper** covers myworkdayjobs.com sites.

### Is this legal?

The Actor only reads job postings that companies publish openly so that anyone can apply, using the public API that Lever provides for career sites. It does not log in, does not bypass access controls, respects robots.txt and rate limits, and does not collect personal data about candidates or employees. You are responsible for how you use the data. If in doubt, consult a lawyer.

### FAQ

**A company is missing from the directory.** Add its slug to `companies`. The directory is a convenience list of verified boards and is refreshed with new Actor versions.

**How fresh is the data?** Live. Every run reads the boards at run time.

**Can I call it from code or an AI agent?** Yes, through the Apify API, the Apify clients, or Apify's MCP server.

The hosted server signs you in with OAuth on first connect, so no API token belongs in this config. Clients without OAuth support can send an `Authorization: Bearer <APIFY_API_TOKEN>` header instead, using a token from API & Integrations in Apify Console (https://console.apify.com/settings/integrations).
