## What's an Apify Actor?

An Actor is a serverless cloud program that runs on the Apify platform. It has two run modes.
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.

Apify vocabulary and the platform model are defined once, in the agent quickstart at https://apify.com/agents.md.

## 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.

Do not guess an integration path. Every one of them is in the agent quickstart at https://apify.com/agents.md: the Apify MCP server, Agent Skills with the Apify CLI, the JavaScript and Python clients, the REST API, and the account-free path for an agent with no human to sign in. It also carries the rule on stating cost before the first paid run.

For examples already wired to this Actor's own input schema, see the [API](#api) section below.

Each client library has reference documentation the quickstart does not restate: [JavaScript/TypeScript](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/js/docs.md) (`npm install apify-client`) and [Python](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/python/docs.md) (`pip install apify-client`).

### What does Eluta.ca Canada Jobs Scraper do?

Eluta.ca Canada Jobs Scraper collects Canadian job listings and returns them as structured rows.

- 📍 **Location** — city and province
- 💰 **Salary** — pay range when the posting shows one
- 📝 **Snippet** — a short description excerpt

### How to scrape Eluta.ca jobs

1. Add Eluta.ca Canada Jobs Scraper to your Apify account.
2. Enter one or more `queries` (keywords) — for example `developer`, `registered nurse`, `accountant`.
3. Optionally set a `location` (e.g. `Toronto`, `Vancouver`, `Ontario`) to narrow every search.
4. Set `maxItems` to cap how many jobs to return.
5. Run the Actor and export the results as JSON, CSV, Excel or XML — or pull them via the API.

### Input

```json
{
  "queries": ["developer", "data analyst"],
  "location": "Toronto",
  "maxItems": 200
}
```

You can also paste Eluta.ca search URLs directly via `startUrls` instead of keywords.

| Field | Description |
|-------|-------------|
| `queries` | Job keywords to search — one search per keyword. |
| `location` | Optional Canadian city or region filter, applied to every keyword. |
| `startUrls` | Optional Eluta.ca search URLs to scrape instead of keywords. |
| `maxItems` | Maximum jobs to collect (0 = no limit). |
| `maxConcurrency` | How many requests to run in parallel. |
| `proxyConfiguration` | Optional proxy settings. |

### Output

Each job is one row. Example:

```json
{
  "title": "Senior Software Developer, Developer Experience (DevX)",
  "company": "Robinhood Markets, Inc.",
  "location": "Toronto, ON",
  "salary": "$166,000 - $195,000",
  "url": "https://www.eluta.ca/spl/senior-software-developer-...",
  "snippet": "developer infrastructure at Robinhood...",
  "postedDate": "1 day ago",
  "sourceQuery": "developer",
  "collectedAt": "2026-09-05T00:00:00.000Z"
}
```

Export the whole dataset as JSON, CSV, Excel or XML, or fetch it through the Apify API.

### FAQ

**Which country does this cover?** Eluta.ca is Canada's job search engine, so listings are Canadian job postings.

**Can I scrape multiple keywords at once?** Yes — add several keywords to `queries` and each is searched in turn.

**Can I filter by city?** Yes — set `location` to a Canadian city or province and it applies to every keyword.

**What formats can I export?** JSON, CSV, Excel and XML, or via the Apify API and integrations.

# Actor input Schema

## `queries` (type: `array`):

Job keywords to search for on Eluta.ca — one search per keyword (e.g. "developer", "registered nurse", "accountant"). Combine with a Location below to narrow results.

## `location` (type: `string`):

Optional Canadian city or region to filter jobs by (e.g. "Toronto", "Vancouver", "Ontario"). Leave empty to search all of Canada. Applies to every keyword above.

## `startUrls` (type: `array`):

Optional: paste Eluta.ca search result URLs straight from your browser instead of using keywords (e.g. https://www.eluta.ca/search?q=developer\&l=Toronto). The scraper walks every page automatically.

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

Maximum number of jobs to collect across all searches (0 = no limit; collect everything the searches return).

## `maxConcurrency` (type: `integer`):

How many requests to run in parallel. Leave at the default unless you have a reason to change it.

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

Optional proxy settings. Leave off for most runs; enable a proxy only if you need it for reliable access.

## Actor input object example

```json
{
  "queries": [
    "developer"
  ],
  "location": "",
  "maxItems": 100,
  "maxConcurrency": 5,
  "proxyConfiguration": {
    "useApifyProxy": false
  }
}
```

## CLI example

```bash
echo '{
  "queries": [
    "developer"
  ]
}' |
apify call hipersoft/eluta-scraper --silent --output-dataset

```

## MCP server setup

```json
{
    "mcpServers": {
        "apify": {
            "type": "http",
            "url": "https://mcp.apify.com/?tools=fetch-actor-details,hipersoft/eluta-scraper"

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).
