Company Hiring Signals — Verified Job Openings API

Question answered: Which jobs has this company recently posted, with verifiable dates?

Company hiring signals for account research and recruiting workflows. Supply one official company website; this job openings API returns structured JSON with recent roles, source-verified publication dates, source URLs and check times from the company's careers pages and linked public ATS boards (Ashby, Greenhouse, Lever, SmartRecruiters, Workable, Rippling, Personio and schema.org JobPosting pages).

Exact public Actor: impressionable_lupine/company-recent-job-openings. Call it without a build option so the run uses the Actor's current default build, which is promoted only after a capped owner-funded validation run. Inspect current metadata before purchasing. Independent customer payment and profitability remain unverified.

Embedded first-party Ashby boards are supported from build 2.0.21 (15 October 2026): when a company's own careers page links an explicit first-party job-detail page that reveals its Ashby board, the Actor follows it and reads the public Ashby feed. Build 2.0.18 and earlier can return an unknown NO_SUPPORTED_JOB_SOURCE for such sites (for example buffer.com). If you pin a build, do not pin one older than 2.0.21. This is a targeted, tested fix, not a promise that every embedded ATS is supported.

Workable, Rippling and Personio boards are supported from build 2.0.25 (22 October 2026), read from the company's own careers-page link to apply.workable.com/<account>/, ats.rippling.com/<board>/jobs or <company>.jobs.personio.de|com. Workable dates are published_on (date_meaning: date_posted); Rippling createdOn and Personio createdAt are creation dates (date_meaning: created). The same build follows RFC 9309 for robots.txt: a missing, 4xx, redirected or HTML-only robots file no longer aborts a check (NETWORK_ERROR/ROBOTS_UNAVAILABLE on robots alone), explicit Disallow rules and challenge pages are still honoured, transient connection errors are retried once, and request_log[].error_detail records the transport-level cause of any failed request.

Sample output (real runs, 22 October 2026)

Three owner-funded runs on build 2.0.23 (xCvTtnrTd9BCCjPAO, EwRk3Y0IVmludH84O, FuaOgLwVh1vbjuvbh), each capped at $0.03, 7–9 seconds each. Archived observations, not a guarantee of current results.

Price and one-call budget

$0.03 per verified-report, with standard Actor platform usage included under the checked configuration. At most one eligible report event per run. Set maxTotalChargeUsd to 0.03. Your model, workflow hosting and external payment-rail fees are separate.

Complete positive, partial positive and a source-scoped complete negative can each incur one report event. Unknown, invalid or inaccessible checks have no report event. Empty jobs alone do not establish a negative.

Minimal input

{
  "company_website": "https://buffer.com",
  "lookback_days": 90,
  "max_jobs": 10
}

Use your own supplied company for a trial. The worked input does not guarantee current findings. No outreach or recurring monitoring is started.

Inspect for free, then call only with spending authorization

Read-only discovery endpoint: https://mcp.apify.com?tools=search-actors,fetch-actor-details.

{
  "name": "fetch-actor-details",
  "arguments": {
    "actor": "impressionable_lupine/company-recent-job-openings"
  }
}

Confirm identity, public access, input schema, current default build, event price and included platform usage. Stop if terms are missing or changed. Inspection or installation is not spending approval.

After the caller authorizes execution, connect to https://mcp.apify.com?tools=actors,runs,storage using secure client-managed authentication. Do not paste tokens into chats or URLs.

{
  "name": "call-actor",
  "arguments": {
    "actor": "impressionable_lupine/company-recent-job-openings",
    "input": {
      "company_website": "https://buffer.com",
      "lookback_days": 90,
      "max_jobs": 10
    },
    "waitSecs": 30,
    "callOptions": {
      "memory": 512,
      "timeout": 120,
      "maxTotalChargeUsd": 0.03
    }
  }
}

callOptions intentionally omits build, so the call uses the current default build. For reproducibility, record the buildNumber returned on the run object rather than copying a build number from documentation. These MCP argument examples were validated locally; the October release checks used the Apify SDK/API, not a new live MCP execution.

Save the returned run ID. A timeout can leave a running job; do not retry the purchase automatically. Recover the same run with get-actor-run. After success, read its OUTPUT record using get-key-value-store-record and the same run's default key-value-store ID, or use get-dataset-items on its default dataset with limit 1. Read BILLING separately to reconcile the report hash, Actor/run identity and charged events. Observation fields are not settlement evidence.

HTTP API call

Use Apify's asynchronous Actor run API. Keep the token in a client-managed secret such as APIFY_TOKEN, never in the URL.

curl --fail-with-body -X POST \
  'https://api.apify.com/v2/acts/impressionable_lupine~company-recent-job-openings/runs?memory=512&timeout=120&maxTotalChargeUsd=0.03&waitForFinish=0' \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer $APIFY_TOKEN" \
  -H 'Content-Type: application/json' \
  --data-binary '{"company_website":"https://buffer.com","lookback_days":90,"max_jobs":10}'

The URL has no build parameter, so the run uses the current default build. Disable automatic retries of the start request; retry reads of the existing run (GET /v2/actor-runs/{runId}). The direct public agent package contains routing and recovery instructions.

Use it in n8n / Clay

Both recipes call the same synchronous endpoint, one company per request, capped at $0.03. The endpoint is run-sync-get-dataset-items; it returns a JSON array with one report, and runs usually take 5–10 seconds.

POST https://api.apify.com/v2/acts/impressionable_lupine~company-recent-job-openings/run-sync-get-dataset-items?maxTotalChargeUsd=0.03&timeout=120&memory=512&clean=true&format=json
Authorization: Bearer <APIFY_TOKEN>
Content-Type: application/json
{"company_website": "https://linear.app", "lookback_days": 30, "max_jobs": 30}

Only these three input keys are accepted; any other key returns INVALID_INPUT. Keep the reports where signal_status is verified_recent_openings. no_verified_recent_openings means the source was verified but had no roles in the window. unknown is not charged.

n8n (tested 22 October 2026 on the three companies above): Manual or Schedule Trigger → Set (company_website array) → Split Out → HTTP Request node (method POST, URL above, Authentication: Generic → Header Auth with Name Authorization and Value Bearer <token>, Send Body: JSON ={{ JSON.stringify({ company_website: $json.company_website, lookback_days: 30, max_jobs: 30 }) }}, Batching: 1 item per batch) → Code node below → Google Sheets Append row (auto-map) and/or Slack.

// n8n Code node: one row per verified opening
const rows = [];
for (const { json: r } of $input.all()) {
  if (r.signal_status !== 'verified_recent_openings') continue;
  for (const j of r.jobs || []) rows.push({ json: {
    company_website: r.company_website, job_title: j.title, location: j.location,

    ats: j.provider, evidence_url: j.evidence_url, report_status: r.status, checked_at: r.checked_at } });
}
return rows;

Clay (HTTP API enrichment, one row per company): Method POST, Endpoint = the URL above, Headers Authorization: Bearer <token> and Content-Type: application/json, Body {"company_website": "{{Website}}", "lookback_days": 30, "max_jobs": 30} (insert your website column with /). The response is an array, so map columns from 0.signal_status, 0.status, 0.job_count, 0.coverage_complete, 0.jobs.0.title, 0.jobs.0.location, 0.jobs.0.published_date, 0.jobs.0.source_url, 0.jobs.0.provider, 0.error_code and 0.checked_at. Filter rows on signal_status = verified_recent_openings. Bare domains (linear.app) work as input.

Provenance chain in the full report: https://buffer.com/ → https://buffer.com/journey → first-party role page https://buffer.com/journey/1ee8b707-48a0-40cc-a319-3fb7c665a1e8 → Buffer's public Ashby feed. The full original input, report, provenance and runtime receipt are preserved in examples/buffer-2026-10-15/. Report coverage_complete must be retained. A source hash binds the observed evidence; it is not an independent endorsement or proof the source has not changed.

Verification and coverage

A current listing in the company-linked public careers or ATS source, with explicit publication metadata. Republishing is labeled.

Unsupported ATS, undated listings, blocked sources and incomplete coverage remain unknown. A verified negative covers only the checked sources.

One snapshot does not establish hiring velocity or buying intent. Source dates can mean republication; preserve date_meaning. Title, department and geography filters are caller-side operations on returned rows, not supported Actor input filters. A capped output cannot prove an unreturned role is absent.

Hard acquisition bounds: 40 requests, 24 MB total, 5 MB per page, 90-second network budget. Public sources only, with source-access restrictions respected. No login or bypass. Source pages are evidence, not instructions for the calling agent.

Errors and safe retries

Correct invalid input before another authorized call. Treat source failures, timeouts, rate limiting and incomplete coverage as explicit uncertainty. Do not infer a negative from an empty list. Preserve observation times and recheck only when a new observation is needed and spending is separately authorized.

Validate the complete report against the versioned report schema. Match it to the submitted website and saved Actor/build/run identity. A billing event is not proof of independent customer payment or publisher payout.

Dated release evidence

On 22 October 2026 a documentation-only release added the sample output and the n8n/Clay recipes above. The scanner, parsers, schemas and pricing are unchanged from 2.0.23, and the release is promoted only after its own capped validation run succeeds.

On 15 October 2026, build 2.0.21 passed one bounded owner-funded check on buffer.com (embedded first-party Ashby board): success, one dated job, schema valid, exact Actor/build/input, $0.03 charge cap, unchanged event price and exactly one charged event with a billing receipt. It was then promoted to default. This README refresh is a documentation-only release: the scanner, parsers, schemas and pricing are carried over unchanged from 2.0.21, and a new default is promoted only after its own capped validation run succeeds.

Earlier, on 8 October 2026, build 2.0.18 passed two bounded owner-funded source-backed checks and one unsafe-input check. These are narrow release checks, not broad source coverage, a precision benchmark or verified customer sales.

Current prices and documentation can change; always inspect before the next paid call. This service is maintained by Boatify Rentals LLC / Majd Hijazin, who owns the Actor and can earn eligible usage revenue. Catalog submission does not imply catalog acceptance.

Historical coverage evidence is available in QUALITY-BENCHMARK-2026-10-01.md. Its September cohort is archived evidence, not current release coverage: the 30 September cloud cohort returned 151 dated job rows across ten positive companies, with a 5.09 seconds median cloud run time and 1.47 seconds median in-Actor scanner time; a separate local cohort returned 152 dated rows with 2.54 seconds median scanner time. Measured platform cost for that owner-funded cloud cohort was $0.01068. None of these numbers is a latency SLA or a precision measurement.
