## 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

## 🇮🇳 CutShort India Tech Jobs Scraper

Scrape **tech and startup job listings from CutShort.io**, one of India's leading hiring platforms, as clean, structured **JSON, CSV, Excel or XML**. Search any skill or role — **Java, Python, DevOps, data science, product management, full‑stack** and hundreds more — or paste a CutShort jobs URL, and get one tidy row per opening: **job title, company, location, experience, salary, skills** and the **job URL**. Ideal for job-market research, recruiting, salary benchmarking, and building job boards or dashboards for India's tech hiring scene.

### What does the CutShort Scraper do?

This actor turns CutShort job searches and skill pages into a ready-to-use dataset. Type one or more skills or roles (for example `java`, `data science`, `devops`, `product manager`) or paste a CutShort jobs URL straight from your browser, and it collects each open role with structured fields. It works across **every skill and city** on CutShort — engineering, data, design, product, marketing and more — with no configuration.

### What data can you get?
