## What's an Apify Actor?

Actors are a software tools running on the Apify platform, for all kinds of web data extraction and automation use cases.
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.

In JavaScript/TypeScript projects, use official [JavaScript/TypeScript client](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/js.md):

```bash
npm install apify-client
```

In Python projects, use official [Python client library](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/python.md):

```bash
pip install apify-client
```

In shell scripts, use [Apify CLI](https://docs.apify.com/cli/docs.md):

````bash
# MacOS / Linux
curl -fsSL https://apify.com/install-cli.sh | bash
# Windows
irm https://apify.com/install-cli.ps1 | iex
```bash

In AI frameworks, you might use the [Apify MCP server](https://docs.apify.com/platform/integrations/mcp.md).

If your project is in a different language, use 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).


# README

## Public Job Posting Detail Agent

Extract one structured job posting record from each user-provided public job
detail URL. The Actor reads public HTML and Schema.org `JobPosting` evidence,
then returns title, company, location, remote/visa signals, employment type,
salary hints, dates, apply URL, skills, evidence snippets, and a stable hash.

This product is intentionally different from the portfolio's site-level Hiring
Signal Actor. It does not discover careers pages, crawl job lists, count all
open roles, or score company hiring intensity. It only analyzes the job detail
URLs you provide.

### What It Returns

- `jobTitle`, `companyName`, `locationSummary`, `employmentType`, and
  `descriptionSnippet`.
- `salarySummary`, `datePosted`, `validThrough`, `applyUrl`, `remoteSignal`,
  and `visaSignal` when visible.
- `skills`, `matchedSkills`, and `matchedLocations` for filtering.
- `responsibilities`, `qualifications`, `evidenceSnippets`, and `evidenceUrls`.
- `jobHash` and `changeStatus` for monitoring job-posting changes.

### Good Fits

- Normalize public job detail URLs that a user, CRM, or AI agent already has.
- Check whether a role matches target skills or target locations.
- Monitor public job detail records for changes without charging unchanged
  records.
- Convert JobPosting JSON-LD and visible public HTML into a compact dataset.

### Not A Fit

- LinkedIn, Indeed, Google Jobs, Facebook, or other job-board search/list
  scraping.
- Company-wide hiring intensity analysis. Use the site-level Hiring Signal
  Actor for that task.
- Candidate data, resumes, recruiter-private contact enrichment, login-only
  pages, or application form submission.

### Safety Boundary

- Public HTTP and HTTPS job detail pages only.
- No login, cookies, JavaScript execution, form submission, CAPTCHA bypassing,
  account creation, candidate enrichment, or private-person profiling.
- Query strings, fragments, URL credentials, path parameters, private networks,
  localhost, `.local`, account-like sensitive paths, and token-like path
  segments are rejected or safely redacted.
- HTML/text responses are capped at 3 MB.
- The Actor does not follow related-job, more-jobs, or all-jobs links.

### Pricing Behavior

The pay-per-event setup charges only for useful public job posting records:

- `apify-actor-start`: charged once when a run starts.
- `useful-job-posting-result`: charged only for a new or changed job detail
  record with enough public evidence and any required skill/location match.

The Actor intentionally does not configure `apify-default-dataset-item`, so
errors, duplicate inputs, unchanged records, focus misses, blocked platforms,
and low-evidence pages can be written without charging the useful-result event.

### Example Input

```json
{
  "jobUrls": ["https://www.mozilla.org/en-US/careers/position/gh/7622995/"],
  "focusSkills": ["ai"],
  "focusLocations": ["remote"],
  "requestTimeoutSecs": 20
}
````

# Actor input Schema

## `jobUrls` (type: `array`):

Public HTTP/HTTPS job detail page URLs. Query parameters, fragments, credentials, path params, private-network hosts, and token-like account paths are rejected.

## `focusSkills` (type: `array`):

Optional skill terms that must appear in the extracted job evidence before the useful event is charged, such as Python, TypeScript, SEO, sales, or Kubernetes.

## `focusLocations` (type: `array`):

Optional location terms that must appear in the extracted job evidence before the useful event is charged, such as remote, London, New York, Germany, or Singapore.

## `previousJobPostingRecords` (type: `array`):

Optional previous records from this Actor. If the stable jobHash is unchanged, the result is written without charging the useful event.

## `requestTimeoutSecs` (type: `integer`):

Maximum time in seconds to wait for the public page response.

## Actor input object example

```json
{
  "jobUrls": [
    "https://www.mozilla.org/en-US/careers/position/gh/7622995/"
  ],
  "focusSkills": [],
  "focusLocations": [],
  "previousJobPostingRecords": [],
  "requestTimeoutSecs": 20
}
