## Pricing

from $0.97 / 1,000 job postings

This Actor is paid per event. You are not charged for the Apify platform usage, but only a fixed price for specific events.
Since this Actor supports Apify Store discounts, the price gets lower the higher subscription plan you have.

## 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`).

Aviation hiring moves fast and most of it never reaches the general job boards. This Actor reads AviationJobSearch.com directly, the UK and US sites recruiters and airlines actually use, and hands you clean, structured records instead of a page you have to read by hand.

### 🙋 Why people use it

**"I source pilots and cabin crew for airline clients. I need every new Captain and First Officer posting the day it goes live, not a week-old copy someone pasted into a spreadsheet."**
Recruiters and staffing agencies get a live feed instead of manually checking the site.

**"I track who our competitors are hiring for and where."**
HR and talent teams at airlines, MROs and ground-handling companies use the employer and location data as hiring intelligence.

**"I want to know the second a new Ground Crew or Cabin Crew role opens, without refreshing a job board by hand."**
Job seekers and career-coaching tools run it on a schedule and watch for new postings in a specific category.

### 🔍 What does it do?

The Aviation Job Search Scraper reads AviationJobSearch.com's live UK (`en-GB`) and US (`en-US`) job boards and returns one clean record per listing: job title, employer name and logo, city, employment type, date posted, application deadline, category and the full job description.

It understands the site's own role taxonomy (aerospace engineers, aircraft maintenance engineers, cabin crew, ground crew, mechanics, pilots, technicians), so you filter by the categories aviation employers actually use instead of guessing keywords against a generic job scraper that has no concept of this site's structure.

### 💡 Tips

- Run it on a schedule (daily or weekly) to catch new postings as a change feed instead of a one-off snapshot.
- Combine a category filter with a keyword to narrow in on a specific role, such as pilots plus "Captain" or cabin crew plus "VIP".
- `companyName` and `jobLocationCity` are the fastest way to spot which employers are actively scaling up hiring.

### ❓ FAQ

##### Does it get blocked?

No. The site serves its job listings as plain pages with no login wall, and the Actor reads them the same way a browser would.

##### Does it extract private contact details?

No. It returns only what AviationJobSearch.com itself publishes on a job listing: employer name, job details and the application link. It does not access private phone numbers or recruiter contact details.

##### How fresh is the data?

Every run reads the live site at the moment it runs. There is no cache, so results reflect whatever is posted right then.

##### Are both the UK and US sites supported?

Yes. Select UK, US, or both in the `locales` input, and the Actor reads the correct regional board for each.

This Actor's version history is a separate document: https://apify.com/getascraper/aviation-job-search-scraper/changelog.md

# Actor input Schema

## `locales` (type: `array`):

Which AviationJobSearch.com locale(s) to crawl. UK (en-GB) needs no special proxy. US (en-US) requires a US proxy country: the site redirects en-US back to en-GB whenever the request's IP is not US-located, so the Actor automatically forces an Apify Proxy US country selection for any US request regardless of your proxy configuration below.

## `categories` (type: `array`):

Limit the crawl to one or more of AviationJobSearch.com's own 7 job categories (confirmed live from the site's category navigation, not guessed). Leave empty to crawl all 7. Generic ATS/job-board scrapers on Apify have no concept of this site's real taxonomy, so this filter is a genuine gap they cannot replicate.

## `keyword` (type: `string`):

Optional free-text filter matched locally against each scraped job's title and description. This is not a live site search: AviationJobSearch.com's own keyword search box submits to an internal API endpoint that the site's robots.txt disallows, so the Actor never calls it. Instead it fetches the allowed listing and job-detail pages first, then filters those results by this keyword in-actor. Leave blank to keep every job found within your scope and limits.

## `employmentType` (type: `array`):

Only keep jobs posted as one of these employment types, read from the site's own structured data on each job (confirmed live values include Full-Time and Contractor; other schema.org job types are offered as suggestions in case the site publishes one later). You can also type a value not listed.

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

Only keep jobs whose location text contains this, for example "Heathrow", "Malta", or "United Kingdom" (case-insensitive, partial match). AviationJobSearch.com's own location data is inconsistent about which field carries a city, region, or country for a given job, so this checks all of them together rather than asking you to pick which one to search.

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

Only keep jobs posted within this many days, based on the site's own published posting date. Leave blank to keep jobs regardless of how old the listing is.

## `maxItems` (type: `integer`):

Maximum number of job listings to return across all selected locales and categories combined. Every job requires a detail-page fetch (the listing pages only carry a job's title and URL, not location, employment type, dates, or description), so this number directly bounds run time and cost. Keep it modest; raise it only once you know the run duration you're comfortable with.

## `proxyConfiguration` (type: `object`):

Apify Proxy configuration for UK (en-GB) requests. Datacenter proxy (the default) is sufficient since the site's own anti-bot layer only requires a standard cookie handshake, not IP quality. US (en-US) requests always use a separate, internally forced Apify Proxy US country selection regardless of what is configured here, because the site's locale redirect is IP-geolocation based.
