## Pricing

from $1.50 / 1,000 job or job changes

This Actor is paid per event. You are not charged for the Apify platform usage, but only a fixed price for specific events.
Since this Actor supports Apify Store discounts, the price gets lower the higher subscription plan you have.

## 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.

For more details, see Apify documentation as [Markdown index](https://docs.apify.com/llms.txt) and [Markdown full-text](https://docs.apify.com/llms-full.txt).

> **Unofficial independent tool.** Not affiliated with or endorsed by Workday, Workable, Personio,
> Greenhouse, Lever, Ashby, or any company whose public career page is processed. Product names
> identify compatible public job-board formats only.

Turn public company career pages into one normalized jobs API. Run a current snapshot or monitor
added, updated, and removed jobs—with no ATS login, cookies, or private account access.

| Source | What is supported |
| --- | --- |
| Greenhouse | Public Job Board API |
| Lever | Global and EU public Postings API |
| Ashby | Public Job Postings API |
| Workday | Public career-site CXS job search and details |
| Workable | Public published-jobs account feed |
| Personio | Enabled public XML jobs feed |
| Other career sites | Server-rendered Schema.org `JobPosting` JSON-LD |

### Built for

- Job-board, recruiting, and talent-intelligence products
- Company hiring trackers and competitive monitoring
- Lead generation from verified hiring signals
- Research datasets and internal search
- Automations triggered by new or changed vacancies

### Why use it

- One normalized schema across several major ATS providers
- Multiple companies in one run
- Exact `maxItems` cost control
- Filtering by title, location, department, date, and remote status
- Stable fingerprints and deduplication
- Persistent change detection without exporting candidate or applicant data
- Partial-source diagnostics without false “removed” events when a source temporarily fails

### Run a snapshot

```json
{
  "startUrls": [
    { "url": "https://boards.greenhouse.io/greenhouse" },
    { "url": "https://jobs.lever.co/palantir" },
    { "url": "https://jobs.ashbyhq.com/Ashby" },
    { "url": "https://workday.wd5.myworkdayjobs.com/en-US/workday" },
    { "url": "https://apply.workable.com/clients-blackbox-inc/" },
    { "url": "https://personio.jobs.personio.com/" }
  ],
  "maxItems": 1000,
  "mode": "snapshot",
  "remoteOnly": false
}
```

Add any number of supported public boards. `maxItems` is a hard cap across the whole run.

Use structured sources when you want to override a company name or provider:

```json
{
  "sources": [
    {
      "url": "https://boards.greenhouse.io/example",
      "provider": "greenhouse",
      "companyName": "Example Company"
    }
  ],
  "titleKeywords": ["engineer", "developer"],
  "locations": ["Riga", "remote"],
  "maxItems": 500
}
```

### Normalized output

Each default-dataset item is one current job or one change event:

```json
{
  "id": "9ad52e6dc10ca06ed98fcd56",
  "fingerprint": "f5d2a0...",
  "changeType": "snapshot",
  "source": "greenhouse",
  "sourceId": "1234567",
  "sourceUrl": "https://boards.greenhouse.io/example",
  "companyName": "Example Company",
  "title": "Senior Platform Engineer",
  "location": "Riga, Latvia or Remote",
  "workplaceType": "Remote",
  "department": "Engineering",
  "employmentType": "Full-time",
  "descriptionText": "Build and operate...",
  "publishedAt": "2026-08-01T09:00:00.000Z",
  "updatedAt": "2026-08-02T12:30:00.000Z",
  "applicationUrl": "https://boards.greenhouse.io/example/jobs/1234567",
  "scrapedAt": "2026-08-03T12:00:00.000Z"
}
```

The `OUTPUT` record in the run's default key-value store contains source diagnostics, counts,
filter totals, and the state-store name.

### Monitor hiring changes

Set `"mode": "changes"` and run the same input on a schedule. The Actor compares normalized
fingerprints with a named persistent key-value store:

- `added`: a new stable job identifier
- `updated`: the identifier exists but buyer-visible fields changed
- `removed`: the identifier disappeared from a healthy source

If a source fails, its previous records are protected from removal. Supply `stateStoreName` when
you want several tasks to share an explicit monitor state; otherwise a deterministic name is
derived from the sources and filters.

### Cost control

`maxItems` is the hard result cap. The Store price is shown before a run, and Apify's maximum total
charge setting remains authoritative. Diagnostic data is stored in `OUTPUT`, not the paid dataset.
When no matching jobs or changes are emitted, the Actor creates no primary result events.

### FAQ

**Does it need an ATS account?**\
No. It processes currently published public job data only.

**Can it monitor several companies in one task?**\
Yes. Add multiple boards and schedule the same changes-mode input.

**Will a temporary outage mark every job as removed?**\
No. Failed sources retain their prior state and cannot create a removal flood.

**Can it apply to jobs or retrieve candidates?**\
No. It neither submits applications nor accesses candidate, applicant, resume, or private ATS data.

### Reliability and responsible use

- Only HTTPS public sources are accepted.
- Local, private, link-local, multicast, and reserved network destinations are blocked.
- Redirects are revalidated and response sizes, timeouts, retries, pages, and concurrency are
  bounded.
- This Actor reads published job advertisements only. It does not submit applications or retrieve
  candidates, applicants, unpublished jobs, or private ATS data.
- Respect applicable source terms, robots policies, employment law, privacy law, and your intended
  use of the resulting data.

### Support

When reporting a problem, include the public source URL, run ID, and failing provider. Never send
cookies, passwords, ATS API keys, identity documents, or private candidate information.

# Actor input Schema
