## What's an Apify Actor?

Actors are web data automations that power AI and operations. They run on the Apify platform to scrape websites, process data, connect APIs, and automate workflows.
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.

- **AI agents and MCP clients** — the [Apify MCP server](https://docs.apify.com/integrations/mcp.md) at `https://mcp.apify.com` (remote, streamable HTTP, OAuth on first use).
- **Agentic workflows and local Actor development** — [Agent Skills](https://apify.com/.well-known/agent-skills/index.json) with the [Apify CLI](https://docs.apify.com/cli/docs.md): `npm install -g apify-cli`, then `apify login`.
- **JavaScript/TypeScript projects** — the official [JS/TS client](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/js/docs.md): `npm install apify-client`.
- **Python projects** — the official [Python client](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/python/docs.md): `pip install apify-client`.
- **Any other language** — the [REST API](https://docs.apify.com/api/v2.md).

For usage examples, see the [API](#api) section below.

### 🔍 What does Habr Career Scraper do?

Habr Career (Хабр Карьера) is Russia's leading job board for tech roles: developers, QA,
analysts, DevOps, and IT management. This actor searches its public listings and returns clean,
structured data for every matching vacancy, no account or login required.

Each vacancy comes back with title, employer name, logo and rating, salary when disclosed,
location, remote flag, employment type, seniority level, full description, posting date, and
expiry date. Skills and specialization arrive as structured tags with canonical names, not a
loose keyword string.

The part no other Russian job scraper offers: turn on salary benchmarks and get a second dataset
straight from Habr's own public compensation survey. Real minimum, 25th percentile, median, 75th
percentile, and maximum pay by seniority level (Junior through Lead), each backed by a real
sample size in the tens of thousands. Because Habr uses the same specialization categories for
both its job listings and its salary survey, a scraped vacancy's division lines up with a
benchmark row with no extra matching work.

***

### 👥 Who uses it?

**Tech recruiters tired of HH.ru's noise** - "HH.ru mixes every industry together. We only place
developers and DevOps engineers, so we run this against Habr Career instead and get an IT-only
feed with skill tags we can filter on directly."

**HR and comp teams benchmarking offers** - "Before we send an offer, we check the Salary
Benchmarks dataset for that seniority level. It tells us in seconds whether our number is
competitive or we're about to lose a candidate."

**Candidates sanity-checking a job offer** - "I pulled the Middle-level salary range before my
final interview. Knowing the real median gave me a number to negotiate from instead of guessing."

**Existing HH.ru Jobs Scraper users** - "We already run [HH.ru Jobs
Scraper](https://apify.com/getascraper/hh-ru-jobs-scraper) for general hiring. This actor is the
tech-specific complement: same shape of data, plus salary benchmarks HH.ru doesn't have."

### ❓ FAQ

**Does this actor require a Habr Career account or API key?**
No. It reads the public Habr Career website directly. No registration and no API key are needed
to run it.

**Как узнать реальную зарплату разработчика на Хабр Карьере?** (How do I find a developer's real
salary on Habr Career?)
Turn on Include Salary Benchmarks in the input form. The actor adds a second dataset with real
minimum, median, and maximum pay for every seniority level, sourced from Habr's own public
survey, no guessing required.

**Why do some vacancies show no salary fields?**
Habr lets employers hide their salary offer. When it isn't disclosed, salary fields are left out
of that row entirely rather than filled with a guess or a zero.

**Can I combine a keyword search with a specialization filter?**
Habr Career's own site only applies one search filter at a time. If you set Division, it takes
priority; otherwise Skills takes priority over Keywords and City. The actor logs which filters it
used so you always know what ran.

# Actor input Schema

## `keywords` (type: `string`):

Free-text search query, matching sibling actor hh-ru-jobs-scraper's field name so results can be merged across both. Sent as Habr Career's own search query. Ignored when Division or Skills below is set, since Habr Career only supports one filter dimension per search (see the README for details).

## `vacancyUrls` (type: `array`):

Specific Habr Career vacancy URLs (or bare numeric vacancy IDs) to scrape instead of running a search. When set, this replaces Keywords/Division/Skills/City entirely. Also the source for a repeat check of a known shortlist across runs.

## `division` (type: `string`):

Browse a single specialization/division, using Habr Career's own taxonomy path (group/alias). Real, confirmed slugs are suggested below, but any valid Habr Career division path can be typed in. Takes priority over Skills and Keywords/City when set, since Habr Career's site only supports one filter dimension per search.

## `skills` (type: `array`):

Filter by a single skill tag, using Habr Career's own canonical skill slug (e.g. spring-boot, docker, kubernetes). Real, confirmed slugs are suggested below. Only the first value is used if more than one is given, since Habr Career's skill browse page does not support combining skills. Ignored when Division is set.

## `city` (type: `string`):

Filter to vacancies located in one Russian city. Resolved to Habr Career's own internal city ID via a small built-in lookup of major tech hubs; an unrecognized city is ignored with a warning rather than guessed. Combines with Keywords, but ignored when Division or Skills is set.

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

Datacenter proxy is sufficient for Habr Career: real-Chrome, Googlebot, and empty-User-Agent requests all reached full real content with no CAPTCHA or WAF challenge encountered at the depth tested (QRATOR, present in the server header, is confirmed purely passive).

## `includeSalaryBenchmarks` (type: `boolean`):

Fetches Habr Career's own public Russian IT salary survey once per run and adds it as a separate Salary Benchmarks dataset view: real, large-sample compensation data (min/max/percentiles/sample size) broken down by seniority level (Junior/Middle/Senior/Lead). Cheap regardless of Maximum Vacancies, since it is one extra page fetch per run, not per vacancy, so it defaults on.

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

Maximum number of vacancies to return per run. Kept low by default so the unmodified default input finishes quickly; raise it for a larger pull once you know your search returns useful results.

## `onlyNewListings` (type: `boolean`):

New-postings monitor mode: re-runs the same search (or Vacancy URLs list) and outputs only vacancies not seen in a previous run that used the same State Name below, a standing-search new-listing alert. Run this Actor on a schedule with the same State Name to build a watch.

## `stateName` (type: `string`):

Identifies which saved search this run's monitor state belongs to. Use a different value for each independent watch you want to track in parallel (e.g. "backend-moscow" vs "devops-remote").

## `resetState` (type: `boolean`):

Clears the persisted monitor state for State Name before this run, so the next run treats every vacancy as new again. Use this to start a watch over from scratch.
