## 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 Intermediair Scraper do?

[Intermediair](https://www.intermediair.nl) is a leading Dutch job board for professional and
management roles. This Actor scrapes its vacancy listings and returns clean, structured data for
every matching job, no account or login required.

Each vacancy comes back with title, company, location, contract type, education and career level,
working hours, posting and expiry dates, and the full job description. Where an employer already
published a direct contact for the role in the posting text itself, that's captured too.

The gap this closes: on Intermediair, only a portion of postings state their own salary. Every
other vacancy this Actor returns still gets a sourced pay figure, pulled from Intermediair's own
salary-benchmark pages and matched at the most specific level available: that exact role at that
exact company first, then that role in that city, then that role nationally. The field that
produced the number is always labeled, so an estimate is never mistaken for what the employer
actually offered.

***

### 👥 Who uses it?

**Recruiters and talent-sourcing teams** - "We need a clean feed of Dutch professional-market
roles we can filter by industry and city, without chasing down pay data manually for every
posting we shortlist."

**HR and compensation teams** - "Before we finalize a role's band, we check what similar
positions pay at comparable companies and in comparable cities. This gives us that comparison in
one pull instead of ten separate searches."

**Job seekers and candidates** - "A posting doesn't say what it pays. This tells me what the role
realistically pays at that company or in that city, so I know if it's worth applying, and what to
ask for."

**Buyers switching from another Intermediair scraper** - "We were only getting a salary figure on
about half our results. Same core fields we're used to, plus every row now carries a market-rate
number when the employer didn't share their own."

### ❓ FAQ

**Does this Actor require an Intermediair account or API key?**
No. It reads the public Intermediair website directly. No registration and no API key are needed
to run it.

**Why do some vacancies show no employer-disclosed salary?**
Intermediair lets employers choose whether to publish a pay range. When they don't, `salaryMin`
and `salaryMax` are simply left out of that row rather than filled with a guess or a zero. The
row still gets a market-rate estimate in a separate set of fields whenever one can be sourced.

**How is the salary estimate different from the employer's own disclosed number?**
They're always kept in separate fields. `salaryMin`/`salaryMax` only ever reflect what the
employer itself published. `salaryEstimateMin`/`salaryEstimateMax` are a market-rate figure
sourced from Intermediair's own salary-benchmark pages, and `salarySource` tells you at a glance
which regime produced the number on that row.

**Is recruiter contact information always included?**
No, and it's never looked up separately. It's only captured when an employer already printed a
name, email, or phone number directly in the visible posting text. Most postings route applicants
through the site's own apply button instead, so this field is often absent, correctly.

# Actor input Schema

## `keywords` (type: `array`):

Job titles to search for, e.g. "Data Engineer" or "Product Owner". Each keyword is matched against Intermediair's own job-title browse pages, so a keyword close to a real Dutch job title works best.

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

Direct links to specific Intermediair vacancy pages to scrape, bypassing search entirely. Useful for re-checking known listings or tracking a saved shortlist over time.

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

Only show vacancies in and around this Dutch city, e.g. "Amsterdam" or "Rotterdam". Leave blank to search all locations.

## `radiusKm` (type: `integer`):

How far from the chosen city to include vacancies. This mirrors Intermediair's own default catchment area for a city search (40 km) rather than a separately tunable site parameter, so changing it has no effect unless a city is also set.

## `contractType` (type: `string`):

Only keep vacancies with this contract type, e.g. "Vast" (permanent) or "Tijdelijk" (temporary). Matched against each vacancy's own listed contract type after it is scraped, so it can be combined freely with the other filters below.

## `educationLevel` (type: `string`):

Only keep vacancies requiring this education level, e.g. "WO" (university), "HBO" (applied sciences), or "MBO". Matched against each vacancy's own listed education requirement.

## `careerLevel` (type: `string`):

Only keep vacancies at this career level, e.g. "Starter" or "Ervaren" (experienced). Matched against each vacancy's own listed career level.

## `industry` (type: `string`):

Which Intermediair industry category to browse, e.g. "ict", "finance", or "zorg". This is the Actor's main discovery seed when no keywords are given, so it defaults to "ict" to keep a first run fast and populated with real vacancies.

## `province` (type: `string`):

Only show vacancies in this Dutch province, e.g. "Noord-Holland" or "Utrecht". Leave blank to search all provinces.

## `workingPlace` (type: `string`):

Best-effort keyword match for "remote", "hybrid", or "on-site" against the vacancy's own description text. Intermediair does not expose working arrangement as a structured filter anywhere on the site, so this is a text heuristic, not a precise site-side filter, and some genuinely-matching vacancies may be missed if the posting does not spell it out.

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

Residential proxy by default: browser-TLS impersonation alone clears the target's Akamai/DPG Media WAF over a direct connection, but a real Apify Cloud run confirmed Apify's own datacenter proxy IPs get silently timed out by the same WAF, while residential IPs work reliably.

## `includeDetails` (type: `boolean`):

Re-fetches each vacancy's own dedicated page for the most authoritative, cross-checked record. Off by default because the search results already carry the full job description server-rendered, so this mainly matters if you want an extra completeness guarantee at the cost of one additional request per vacancy.

## `includeSalaryIntelligence` (type: `boolean`):

Fetches Intermediair's own salary-intelligence pages (national average, per-company pay, per-city pay, and year-over-year trend for each job title) and attaches a sourced market-rate salary estimate to every vacancy that did not disclose its own salary. This is the Actor's core value: on its own, Intermediair only shows a real salary figure on roughly half to two-thirds of postings. Kept on by default because it is cheap (a handful of role-level page fetches per run, not one per vacancy) and is what makes every row usable for pay comparison.

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

The maximum number of vacancies to return in this run. Kept modest by default so a first run finishes quickly; raise it once you know the search returns what you expect.

## `onlyChangedListings` (type: `boolean`):

When enabled, vacancies that are identical to the last run (UNCHANGED) are left out of the output entirely, so you only see what actually moved: NEW, UPDATED, REAPPEARED, or EXPIRED listings. Intended for scheduled monitoring runs rather than one-off searches.

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

Names the saved tracking state for this search, so you can run several independent monitors (e.g. one per keyword or city) without them overwriting each other's history. Reuse the same name across scheduled runs of the same search to keep its change history intact.

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

Clears the saved tracking history for this state name before this run, so every vacancy found is reported as NEW again. Use this once if a saved search's history needs a clean restart; leave off for normal scheduled runs.
