## 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.

# README

### What does Internshala Jobs Search Scraper do?

Internshala Jobs Search Scraper is an **Internshala jobs API alternative** for collecting public internships and jobs from [Internshala](https://internshala.com). It discovers official listing pages, verifies every selected detail page, and writes clean, source-backed records to the Apify dataset.

The Actor supports keyword search, multiple searches, one direct detail URL, and multiple direct URLs. It never emits a listing until the job ID, canonical URL, title, company, and substantive description are verified.

### Why scrape Internshala jobs and internships?

- Build internship and fresher-job indexes or alerting workflows.
- Analyze employers, locations, skills, stipends, salaries, and application deadlines.
- Monitor campus recruitment and entry-level demand.
- Schedule runs and connect results to Apify APIs, webhooks, Make, Zapier, Google Sheets, or your own pipeline.
- Use optional Apify Proxy rotation if direct cloud traffic becomes restricted.

### What data can the Actor extract?

| Field | Type | Description |
| --- | --- | --- |
| `jobId`, `jobUrl`, `canonicalUrl` | string | Verified Internshala identity and URL |
| `title`, `companyName` | string | Vacancy and employer |
| `descriptionText`, `descriptionHtml` | string | Full public description |
| `locations`, `remote`, `workArrangement` | array/boolean/string | Location data when published |
| `stipend`, `salary` | object | Parsed amount, currency, and period |
| `skills`, `responsibilities`, `qualifications` | array/string | Public requirements and duties |
| `applicationDeadline`, `applicationUrl` | string | Deadline and source-backed apply control when available |
| `requestReceipts`, `fieldCoverage`, `dataQuality` | object | Extraction and quality evidence |

Optional fields are omitted when Internshala does not publish them. No location, salary, application URL, or other value is fabricated.

### How to scrape Internshala

1. Open the Actor input tab.
2. Choose `search`, `searchMultiple`, `single`, or `multiple`.
3. Provide the matching query, query list, or official Internshala detail URL list.
4. Choose internships, jobs, or both for search modes.
5. Set `maxItems` and `maxPages`; start small while testing.
6. Run the Actor and review the Output dataset.

### How much will it cost to scrape Internshala?

The current pricing and platform charges are shown on the Actor's Apify Store page. This lightweight HTTP/Cheerio implementation avoids browser compute. Proxy usage, if enabled, is billed separately by Apify. Start with three records to measure your account's actual cost before scheduling larger runs.

### Input

See the input tab for every option. Important behavior:

- `search` requires one `query`.
- `searchMultiple` accepts up to five queries and applies `maxItems` to each query.
- `single` and `multiple` accept only public `https://internshala.com/internship/detail/...` or `/job/detail/...` URLs.
- Search records are deduplicated globally by Internshala ID.
- `proxyConfiguration` is optional and direct requests are the default.

```json
{
  "mode": "search",
  "query": "software engineer",
  "category": "internships",
  "maxItems": 10,
  "maxPages": 2,
  "proxyConfiguration": { "useApifyProxy": false }
}
```

### Output

You can download the dataset in JSON, CSV, Excel, XML, HTML, and other Apify-supported formats.

```json
{
  "jobId": "1787030682",
  "title": "Software Engineer Intern",
  "companyName": "Example Company",
  "jobType": "internship",
  "descriptionText": "Public detail-page description...",
  "jobUrl": "https://internshala.com/internship/detail/example1787030682",
  "detailVerified": true,
  "source": "internshala.com",
  "scrapedAt": "2026-08-31T12:00:00.000Z"
}
```

Run diagnostics and skipped candidates are stored in the default key-value store and never mixed into the job dataset.

### Tips and limitations

- Use direct URLs when you need exact records and search when you need discovery.
- Keep concurrency low if the target begins rate-limiting requests.
- Enable only proxy groups available to your Apify account.
- Application controls may lead to Internshala authentication; the Actor does not log in or access private application data.
- A run fails when it cannot produce the requested number of complete records, so schedules and API clients can detect target changes.

### Responsible use and support

Collect only public data for a lawful purpose and follow Internshala's terms and applicable privacy, employment, database, and data-protection laws. Do not use the Actor to bypass authentication or collect private applicant information.

For programmatic runs, use the Actor API tab. For issues, provide a redacted input and run ID in the Actor's Issues tab. Never post API tokens, cookies, or proxy credentials.

## MCP server setup

```json

```

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).
