## 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

## MyCareersFuture Scraper

Extract Singapore job listings from MyCareersFuture at scale, no login or API key. Search any keyword and the scraper walks pagination automatically up to the limit you set, so you can collect hundreds or thousands of jobs per search in a single run. Every row comes back in one clean, structured shape with title, company, salary band, employment type, position level, skills, location, and posting dates.

### What it does

- **Keyword search** - jobs matching any search term, one search per query.
- **Sort control** - order by relevance, newest posting, or highest salary.
- **Pagination** - each search walks multiple pages (100 jobs per page) until your `maxItemsPerSource` is reached or the results run out.
- **Clean records** - salary band, employment type, position level, category, skills, and posting dates in a stable, ordered shape ready for a spreadsheet or a database.

Common uses: salary benchmarking, hiring-market research, recruiter lead lists, labour-market analysis, and building a Singapore jobs dataset.

### Input

| Field | Type | Description |
|---|---|---|
| `searchQueries` | array | Job keywords to search. Example: `software engineer`, `nurse`, `marketing`. One search runs per entry. |
| `sortBy` | string | `relevancy` (default), `new_posting_date` for newest first, or `salary` for highest salary first. |
| `maxItemsPerSource` | integer | Cap on jobs per search. Default 200. |
| `proxyConfiguration` | object | Optional. The source is public and works without a proxy; enable only if you want to route through a proxy. |

`searchQueries` is required.

#### Example input

```json
{
  "searchQueries": ["software engineer", "data analyst"],
  "sortBy": "new_posting_date",
  "maxItemsPerSource": 500
}
````

### Output

Each item is one normalized job listing.

```json
{
  "jobPostId": "MCF-2026-1020456",
  "uuid": "cb019e5e9bb79ce71914f8c6779ac9f3",
  "title": "Software Engineer",
  "company": "Acme Co",
  "companyUen": "201700000A",
  "salaryMin": 3000,
  "salaryMax": 5000,
  "salaryType": "Monthly",
  "employmentTypes": ["Permanent"],
  "positionLevels": ["Non-executive"],
  "categories": ["Engineering", "Manufacturing"],
  "schemes": [],
  "skills": ["PLC Programming", "Debugging", "Automation Design"],
  "flexibleWorkArrangements": [],
  "minimumYearsExperience": null,
  "numberOfVacancies": null,
  "address": "300 Beach Road The Concourse",
  "postalCode": "199555",
  "district": "Central",
  "totalApplications": 0,
  "newPostingDate": "2026-07-17",
  "updatedAt": "2026-07-17T03:33:43",
  "url": "https://www.mycareersfuture.gov.sg/job/example",
  "scrapedAt": "2026-07-18T11:55:00.000Z"
}
```

Fields with no value (for example a job that hides its address) come back as `null` or an empty array, so the shape is always the same.

### Notes

- No login and no API key. Just set your search terms and run.
- The scraper is polite and paginates in order; set `maxItemsPerSource` to control run size and cost.
- Salary is returned as a band with its type (Monthly, Annually, and so on) exactly as published.
