## 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.

**Handshake Jobs Scraper** collects public job and internship listings from [joinhandshake.com](https://joinhandshake.com/find-jobs/), the campus recruiting platform used by thousands of employers and universities. Search by keyword, role category, location, employer name, employment type, workplace status, posting date, and compensation range, and get back structured records with salary, deadline, and a direct application link. Run it once for a snapshot, or schedule it on Apify to keep a live feed of new postings flowing into your dataset, spreadsheet, or internal tool.

### 🎯 Why use this Handshake scraper?

- **I am a campus recruiting lead** tracking which employers are posting new internships on Handshake, so I can see how our own roles compare on salary and application deadlines.
- **I am a university career services coordinator** mirroring live Handshake internship and new-grad listings onto our own job board, so students find every open role in one place.
- **I am a recruiting agency researcher** building a structured feed of early-career openings and deadlines, so my team can reach qualified candidates before a role closes.
- **I am a market researcher** tracking internship and new-grad pay by role, location, and employer, so I can publish accurate early-career compensation benchmarks.

1. Open the Actor's **Input** tab and enter your keywords, role categories, or locations. All fields are optional.
2. Narrow results with employer name, employment type, workplace status, posting date, or compensation range if you need a tighter list.
3. Click **Start** and let the Actor run. Results stream into the dataset as they're found.
4. Open the **Output** tab to browse, filter, or download results in JSON, CSV, Excel, HTML, or XML.
5. Schedule the Actor to run daily or weekly to keep a running feed of new Handshake postings.

### 📝 Input

| Field | Type | Required | Description |
| --- | --- | --- | --- |
| `keywords` | array of strings | No | Free-text keywords matched against the job title and description. Leave empty to browse without a keyword filter. |
| `roles` | array of strings | No | Handshake role-category slugs, such as `accounting` or `software-engineering`. Up to 10 roles are queried per run. |
| `locations` | array of strings | No | City-state slugs, such as `new-york-ny` or `austin-tx`, or `remote`. Up to 10 locations are queried per run. |
| `employerNames` | array of strings | No | Keep only jobs whose employer name contains one of these strings. Matching ignores case. |
| `employmentTypes` | enum | No | Keep only listings matching the selected employment types (full time, part time, internship, temporary, contractor, or volunteer). Only applies to jobs where the source page publishes a type. |
| `workplaceTypes` | enum | No | Keep only listings matching the selected workplace status (remote or on site). Only jobs with a source-confirmed status are labeled; leave empty to keep all, including unlabeled. |
| `datePostedAfter` | string | No | Optional date. Keep jobs first posted on or after this date. |
| `datePostedBefore` | string | No | Optional date. Keep jobs first posted on or before this date. |
| `minCompensation` | integer | No | Keep only jobs whose published salary is at least this amount, in the listing's own pay-schedule unit. Jobs without a published salary are excluded once this is set. |
| `maxCompensation` | integer | No | Keep only jobs whose published salary is at most this amount. Leave at 0 for no upper bound. |
| `fetchJobDetails` | boolean | No | Visit each job's public detail page to add description, employment type, salary, and application deadline. Turn off for a faster, listing-only run. Defaults to true. |
| `maxItems` | integer | No | Maximum number of job listings to return across all searches. Defaults to 100. |
| `proxyConfiguration` | object | No | Proxy settings. Datacenter proxy is used by default and is enough for Handshake's public pages. Switch to residential only if you see blocking. |

### 🛠️ Tips for better runs

- Turn off `fetchJobDetails` for a faster run when you only need title, employer, and location. Turn it on when you need salary, description, or deadline.
- Combine a role category with a location to narrow a broad feed without missing relevant postings.
- Set `datePostedAfter` and schedule the Actor daily to build a running feed of only new listings.
- Set `minCompensation` carefully. Jobs without a published salary are excluded once this filter is set, so a strict minimum will shrink your result count.

### ❓ FAQ

##### Does it get blocked?

No. The Actor reads only public Handshake pages that don't require a login, so there's nothing to block. Datacenter proxy, the default, is enough for reliable runs.

##### Do I need a Handshake account to use this?

No. Unlike scrapers that require Handshake credentials, this Actor never logs in and never asks for an account. It reads the same public pages any visitor can see.

##### How fresh is the data?

Every run reads the live Handshake pages at the moment it runs. Nothing is cached or reused from a previous run, so results reflect what's posted right now.

##### Are all job categories and locations supported?

Yes. Any Handshake role category or location slug works as a filter. Leave both empty to pull the general public feed without a role or location filter.
