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 ## SimplyHired Jobs Scraper (No API Key) Scrape SimplyHired job listings across the US and many countries — no API key, no login. Search any job title and location, or paste SimplyHired search URLs, and export structured job data: `title`, `company`, `companyRating`, `location`, `salary`, `jobTypes`, `remote`, `benefits`, `snippet`, `datePosted`, and the job `url`. Built for developers, data analysts, recruiters, and AI/RAG pipelines that need clean, bulk job listings without maintaining a scraper. Pay per result, no subscription. Reliable by design: Chrome TLS impersonation, residential US proxies, and per-request session rotation clear SimplyHired's anti-bot walls so runs finish and paginate automatically. ### What you get Each job listing is returned as a structured record: | Field | Description | |---|---| | `title` | Job title / role | | `company` | Employer name | | `companyRating` | Employer rating (when available) | | `location` | Job location (city/state) | | `salary` | Pay / salary text (when listed) | | `jobTypes` | Employment type (full-time, part-time, contract, etc.) | | `remote` | Remote / work-from-home attributes | | `benefits` | Listed benefits | | `snippet` | Job description preview | | `datePosted` | When the listing was posted | | `sponsored` | Whether the listing is sponsored | | `url` | Direct link to the job posting | ### Use cases - **Recruiter sourcing** — pull fresh job listings by title and location to find hiring companies and open roles at scale. - **Salary and market research** — aggregate `salary`, `location`, and `jobTypes` across regions to benchmark pay and demand. - **Competitor hiring monitoring** — track which companies are posting, how often, and for which roles. - **Job board and aggregator feeds** — populate your own job site or app with structured, deduplicated listings. - **LLM / RAG pipelines** — feed clean job descriptions and metadata into embeddings, search, or agent workflows. - **Labor-market datasets** — build historical datasets of postings, remote availability, and benefits for analysis. ### Input | Param | Description | Example | |---|---|---| | `searchTerm` | Job title or keyword | `software engineer` | | `location` | City/state; leave blank for nationwide | `Austin, TX` | | `startUrls` | Full SimplyHired search URLs (alternative to search term) | array of URLs | | `maxJobs` | Max job listings per search (paginates automatically) | `100` (default, max `3000`) | Provide `searchTerm` (+ optional `location`), or supply `startUrls` with full SimplyHired search URLs. ### Pricing Pay per job delivered. No subscription. *A quick review on the Apify Store really helps.* # Actor input Schema ## `searchTerm` (type: `string`): Job title or keyword, e.g. "software engineer". ## `location` (type: `string`): City/state, e.g. "Austin, TX". Leave blank for nationwide. ## `startUrls` (type: `array`): Full SimplyHired search URLs. ## `maxJobs` (type: `integer`): Maximum job listings to return per search. ## Actor input object example ```json { "searchTerm": "software engineer", "location": "Austin, TX", "maxJobs": 100 } ```` # Actor output Schema ## `jobs` (type: `string`): One row per job. # API You can run this Actor programmatically using our API. Below are code examples in JavaScript, Python, and CLI, as well as the OpenAPI specification and MCP server setup. ## JavaScript example ```javascript import { ApifyClient } from 'apify-client'; // Initialize the ApifyClient with your Apify API token // Replace the '' with your token const client = new ApifyClient({ token: '', }); // Prepare Actor input const input = { "searchTerm": "software engineer", "location": "Austin, TX" }; // Run the Actor and wait for it to finish const run = await client.actor("jamhimself/simplyhired-jobs-scraper").call(input); // Fetch and print Actor results from the run's dataset (if any) console.log('Results from dataset'); console.log(`💾 Check your data here: https://console.apify.com/storage/datasets/${run.defaultDatasetId}`); const { items } = await client.dataset(run.defaultDatasetId).listItems(); items.forEach((item) => { console.dir(item); }); // 📚 Want to learn more 📖?
