## What's an Apify Actor?

An Actor is a serverless cloud program that runs on the Apify platform. It has two run modes.
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.

Apify vocabulary and the platform model are defined once, in the agent quickstart at https://apify.com/agents.md.

## 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.

Do not guess an integration path. Every one of them is in the agent quickstart at https://apify.com/agents.md: the Apify MCP server, Agent Skills with the Apify CLI, the JavaScript and Python clients, the REST API, and the account-free path for an agent with no human to sign in. It also carries the rule on stating cost before the first paid run.

For examples already wired to this Actor's own input schema, see the [API](#api) section below.

Each client library has reference documentation the quickstart does not restate: [JavaScript/TypeScript](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/js/docs.md) (`npm install apify-client`) and [Python](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/python/docs.md) (`pip install apify-client`).

# README

## JobScore Jobs Search Scraper

This Actor extracts public JobScore career-board jobs from Atom feeds and their public detail pages. It does not log in, submit applications, use cookies, or access private applicant data.

### Modes

Search a public board/feed and enrich the bounded result set:

```json
{
  "mode": "search",
  "feedUrls": [{"url": "https://hire.jobscore.com/jobs/jobscore/feed.atom"}],
  "maxItems": 5,
  "requestDelayMs": 250
}
```

Detail enrichment is mandatory. Use `mode: "single"` with one `jobUrl` or one-item `jobUrls`, or `mode: "multiple"` with several `jobUrls`. `careerUrls`, `companySlugs`, and direct URL aliases remain supported. A text `query` filters title, company, department, location, employment type, description, and structured sections.

### Output

Job records include stable IDs, canonical/source URLs, company website/profile/logo, department, location, employment type, Atom dates/categories, plain text and HTML description, headed responsibilities/requirements/benefits, hiring-team profiles, image/video URLs, application URL/provider, record status, and field-quality metadata. Request receipts and run diagnostics are stored only in KVS. Empty optional fields are omitted. Application URLs are reported only; they are never followed or submitted.

### Local development

```powershell
npm ci
npm test
npm run lint
apify validate-schema
$store = 'storage-jobscore-validation'
if (Test-Path $store) { throw "Refusing to reuse existing local store: $store" }
$env:APIFY_LOCAL_STORAGE_DIR = $store
apify run --resurrect --input-file INPUT.json
npm run validate -- $store\datasets\default
```

The checked-in `INPUT.json`, `INPUT-single.json`, and `INPUT-multiple.json` files provide bounded local smoke scenarios. Each validation run uses a fresh relative local-store directory; existing Actor data is not purged or reused. Only ordinary public responses are used.

### Cloud and quality contract

The same bounded contract runs locally and on Apify Cloud. The Actor follows each candidate to its public JobScore detail page and emits only complete jobs with stable identity, company, location, a substantial description, and more than 20 populated meaningful source fields. “About Us” and “The Opportunity” are exposed as separate company/role overviews, and “Nice to Have” content is kept separate from benefits. Platform status is `SUCCEEDED` or `FAILED`; `resultStatus` independently reports `COMPLETE`, `LIMITED`, `SKIPPED`, `DEFERRED`, `NO_DATA`, or `FAILED`. HTTP 401/403/429/451 or a visible source-authored denial/challenge stops requests and discards buffered jobs as `SUCCEEDED/SKIPPED`; transport failures and unresolved redirects are deferred without being described as source blocks. A fatal zero-row failure calls `Actor.fail()` as `FAILED/FAILED`; a later non-block error after stored rows preserves them as `SUCCEEDED/LIMITED`. Requests are sequential and direct HTTPS with no proxy, cookies, user-agent override, or unbounded redirect following. A single redirect is followed only when its destination remains on an explicitly allowed public JobScore feed/job route; each hop is retained as its own single-attempt KVS receipt. Fetch or parse diagnostics never mix with job rows.

# 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 '<YOUR_API_TOKEN>' with your token
const client = new ApifyClient({
    token: '<YOUR_API_TOKEN>',
});

// Prepare Actor input
const input = {};

// Run the Actor and wait for it to finish
const run = await client.actor("jobsapi/jobscore-jobs-search-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);
});

## CLI example

```bash
echo '{}' |
apify call jobsapi/jobscore-jobs-search-scraper --silent --output-dataset

```

## MCP server setup

```json
{
    "mcpServers": {
        "apify": {
            "type": "http",
            "url": "https://mcp.apify.com/?tools=fetch-actor-details,jobsapi/jobscore-jobs-search-scraper"
        }
    }
}
```

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).
