## 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.

# README

## NaukriGulf Jobs Scraper

### What does NaukriGulf Jobs Scraper do?

**NaukriGulf Jobs Scraper collects public job listings from [NaukriGulf.com](https://www.naukrigulf.com) into a clean, ready-to-use dataset.** Search by job title, skill, company, or Gulf location, then receive useful vacancy details such as the role, employer, location, experience, salary, posting date, key skills, and full job description.

Use it to track the Gulf job market, discover new openings across the UAE, Saudi Arabia, Qatar, and other GCC countries, benchmark salaries, or power your own recruitment workflows. Run it on demand or on a schedule, then access results through Apify's API, integrations, exports, monitoring, and optional proxy infrastructure.

### Why use NaukriGulf Jobs Scraper?

- **Find relevant Gulf opportunities quickly** - search for roles such as software engineer, accountant, driver, nurse, or any skill and location combination.
- **Track the Gulf job market** - follow new postings, remote and on-site roles, salary ranges, experience requirements, and employer activity.
- **Bring data into your workflow** - export results or connect them to Google Sheets, Make, Zapier, and other Apify integrations.
- **Choose the detail level you need** - collect search results only for fast discovery, or include full job details for deeper analysis.
- **Repeatable job monitoring** - schedule a run to check for newly posted roles every day, week, or at another interval that suits your process.

### How to scrape NaukriGulf job listings

1. Open the Actor and select the **Input** tab.
2. Enter a keyword, such as `software engineer`, and optionally add a location, such as `Dubai`.
3. Refine the search with filters for posting date, experience, salary range, industry, functional area, and sort order.
4. Set the maximum number of job listings to collect and whether to include detailed job information.
5. Click **Start**. View the results in the **Dataset** tab or download them when the run finishes.

You can also paste a NaukriGulf search URL to reuse a search you have already configured on the website, or provide job IDs when you need specific listings.

### Input

Set up the Actor in the **Input** tab. The most useful fields are:

| Field | What it does |
|---|---|
| `keyword` | Job title, skill, or search phrase to find. |
| `location` | Optional city or Gulf country, for example `Dubai` or `Qatar`. |
| `searchUrl` | A NaukriGulf search URL whose selected filters you want to reuse. |
| `jobIds` | Specific 12-digit NaukriGulf job IDs to collect directly. |
| `freshness` | Limit results to jobs posted within the last 24 hours to 60 days. |
| `sortBy` | Order results by relevance or newest posting date. |
| `experience` | Target a years-of-experience bucket (0-1 up to 20+). |
| `salaryRange` | Filter by monthly salary bucket (USD). |
| `industryId` | NaukriGulf industry filter ID (for example `25` for IT). |
| `functionalAreaId` | NaukriGulf functional area filter ID. |
| `nationalityId` | NaukriGulf nationality cluster filter ID. |
| `maxItems` | Maximum number of job listings to include in the dataset (minimum 25). |
| `getJobDetails` | Include job descriptions, skills, education, company about, and contact details. |

If you provide job IDs, they take priority. If you provide a search URL, its search criteria take priority over manually entered search filters (except Sort by).

### Output

Every dataset record represents one NaukriGulf job listing. Available fields can include the job title, company, link, location, experience, salary, posting time, key skills, full description, education, employment type, work mode, and company information where available.

### How much does it cost to scrape NaukriGulf jobs?

The cost depends on the number of listings you collect and whether you include detailed job information. Start with a small search to estimate the cost for your use case, then use **max items** or a maximum run-cost limit to stay within budget. Apify's free tier may be enough to try a small run before you scale up.

### Tips for better job-search data

- For daily job alerts, select recent postings, sort by date, and schedule recurring runs.
- Use a specific keyword and location to reduce unrelated results.
- Collect listing data only when you need a broad market overview; include job details for richer analysis.
- Use `maxItems` to create predictable, focused datasets.
- Paste a saved NaukriGulf search URL when you want to repeat a more complex search.

### FAQ, disclaimer, and support

#### Can I use this for recruitment or market research?

Yes. It is useful for job discovery, hiring-market research, salary benchmarking, and internal reporting. Always make sure your intended use complies with applicable laws, the source website's terms, and privacy requirements.

#### Why are some fields blank?

Job listings do not always include every detail. Salary, work mode, company data, education requirements, and other optional fields may be unavailable for a particular listing.

#### Where can I get help?

For feedback, questions, or a custom data-collection solution, use the Actor's **Issues** tab or contact the author through the Actor page.

The hosted server signs you in with OAuth on first connect, so no API token belongs in this config. Clients without OAuth support can send an `Authorization: Bearer <APIFY_API_TOKEN>` header instead, using a token from API & Integrations in Apify Console (https://console.apify.com/settings/integrations).
