## 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/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.

# README

## Job Postings Scraper — Greenhouse, Lever, Ashby, Workable & More

Pull **live job postings straight from company career boards** — Greenhouse,
Lever, Ashby, Workable, SmartRecruiters and Recruitee — through the **public
job-board APIs those platforms publish** for exactly this purpose. Fresher than
job aggregators, no login, no HTML scraping fragility.

Give it career-page URLs **or just company slugs** — the ATS is auto-detected.

**Charged per job posting returned.** Filtered-out postings and failed
companies cost $0. No startup fee.

### Quick start

```json
{
  "companies": [
    "https://boards.greenhouse.io/gitlab",
    "https://jobs.ashbyhq.com/openai",
    "figma"
  ]
}
````

→ one normalized record per posting:

```json
{
  "company": "openai",
  "ats": "ashby",
  "title": "Software Engineer, Applied AI",
  "department": "Engineering",
  "location": "San Francisco",
  "remote": false,
  "url": "https://jobs.ashbyhq.com/openai/…",
  "publishedAt": "2026-06-30T18:02:11.000Z",
  "salary": "$245K – $385K",
  "description": "## About the team\n…"
}
```

### What you get

| | |
|---|---|
| **6 ATS platforms** | Greenhouse, Lever, Ashby, Workable, SmartRecruiters, Recruitee — one actor, one output schema |
| **Auto-detection** | Pass a career URL or a bare slug; the right platform is found automatically |
| **Markdown descriptions** | Full posting text converted to clean Markdown (Greenhouse, Lever, Ashby, Recruitee) |
| **Salary** | Compensation summary where the employer publishes it (Ashby) |
| **Filters** | `titleFilter` keyword + `remoteOnly` — you're only billed for postings that match |
| **Cost caps** | `maxJobsPerCompany` guard for very large employers |
| **Fast & cheap** | Plain JSON APIs, no browser — hundreds of companies per run |

### Use cases

- **Recruiting & job boards:** fresh postings directly from the source, hours
  before aggregators index them.
- **B2B sales signals:** companies hiring for "data engineer" or "RevOps" are
  buying tools for them — run your prospect list weekly on a Schedule.
- **Market research:** hiring velocity by company, department mix, remote share.
- **AI agents:** normalized JSON + Markdown descriptions, ready for matching and
  summarization.

```bash
curl -X POST "https://api.apify.com/v2/acts/fetchbase~job-postings-scraper/run-sync-get-dataset-items?token=YOUR_TOKEN" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{"companies": ["https://jobs.lever.co/palantir"], "titleFilter": "engineer", "remoteOnly": true}'
```

### Pricing

A small fixed price **per job posting returned**, plus standard Apify platform
usage (tiny — no browser). Companies that fail or return nothing are never
billed.

### FAQ

**Is this scraping?** It reads the **official, documented, public job-board
APIs** that the ATS vendors provide so career boards can be embedded and
consumed — the intended use of those endpoints. Job postings are public content
that employers actively want distributed. No personal data is involved.

**Which companies work?** Any employer whose career site runs on one of the six
supported platforms (a large share of tech and mid-market companies). If a
company uses something else, you get a clear per-company error — and it costs
nothing.

**Descriptions missing for some companies?** Workable and SmartRecruiters list
endpoints don't include full descriptions; the other four platforms do.

### Use with AI agents (MCP)

This Actor is callable by AI agents through the [Apify MCP server](https://mcp.apify.com/). Agents in Claude, Cursor, Windsurf, LangGraph, CrewAI and others can discover it via `search-actors` and run it as a tool — its inputs and outputs are fully described in the schema for reliable agent use.

# Actor input Schema

## `companies` (type: `array`):

One entry per company: either a career-board URL (e.g. https://boards.greenhouse.io/stripe, https://jobs.lever.co/netflix, https://jobs.ashbyhq.com/openai) or a bare company slug (e.g. 'stripe') — bare slugs are tried against all supported ATS platforms automatically.

## `includeDescriptions` (type: `boolean`):

Include each posting's full description converted to clean Markdown (available on Greenhouse, Lever, Ashby and Recruitee; Workable and SmartRecruiters list endpoints don't ship descriptions).

## `maxJobsPerCompany` (type: `integer`):

Cap on postings fetched per company (cost control for very large employers).

## `titleFilter` (type: `string`):

Optional case-insensitive keyword filter on the job title, e.g. 'engineer' or 'sales'. Only matching postings are returned (and billed).

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

Only return postings marked remote / with 'remote' in the location.

## `timeoutSecs` (type: `integer`):

Timeout per API request.
