## 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

## MyCareersFuture direct job search scraper

This Apify Actor extracts complete public jobs from MyCareersFuture, Singapore's public employment portal. It uses the official public JSON API at api.mycareersfuture.gov.sg directly, preserves source-backed employer, address, salary, skills, arrangement, metric, date, description, and provenance fields, and writes only detail-verified records to the dataset.

The Actor is bounded for predictable local execution. It supports search, single, multiple, searchMultiple, and startUrls modes. Search results are used to discover stable UUIDs, then the official job endpoint is fetched for each record for detail verification. Missing optional publisher fields are omitted.

### Input

Example search:

```json
{
  "mode": "search",
  "query": "software engineer",
  "maxItems": 3,
  "maxCandidates": 10,
  "maxPages": 1,
  "maxRequests": 10,
  "timeoutMs": 15000,
  "deadlineMs": 120000
}
```

The single mode accepts url, itemUrl, or jobId. Multiple accepts urls or jobIds. searchMultiple accepts searches or queries. startUrls accepts official API search/detail URLs and public MyCareersFuture web detail/search URLs. Existing query and maxItems inputs remain supported.

### Output

Each dataset record includes stable job and posting IDs, title, employer details, company profile data, address and district, coordinates, categories, position and employment labels, skills, experience, vacancies, work arrangements, salary, full cleaned description and HTML, sections and bullets, requirements, posting/closing dates, metrics, official job URL, API source URL, source payload, detail verification, field coverage, quality metadata, and request receipts. applyUrl is emitted only when MyCareersFuture publishes a distinct application URL; the official job detail URL is never mislabeled as an application link.

Every local or Apify platform run also writes key-value records:

- RUN\_SUMMARY — status, counts, runtime, request totals, and bounds.
- RUN\_DIAGNOSTICS — access, HTTP, parse, identity, incomplete-detail, and budget diagnostics.
- RUN\_METADATA — normalized input, official API policy, and request receipts.
- RUN\_HEALTH — compact run health state.

### Local QA

Run from this directory:

```text
npm ci --ignore-scripts --no-audit --no-fund
npm test
npm run check
npx --yes apify-cli validate-schema .actor/input_schema.json
npx --yes apify-cli run --purge --input-file INPUT.json
npm run validate
```

The Actor supports local execution and Apify platform deployment. It does not use browser automation, proxies, or mirror services.

### Cost and responsible use

`maxItems`, `maxCandidates`, `maxPages`, `maxRequests`, per-request timeouts, and the run deadline bound API traffic and compute use. Begin with the defaults and increase limits only when needed. Collect only public job data, respect applicable portal terms and laws, and verify the current source posting before applying.

## CLI example

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

```

## MCP server setup

```json
{
    "mcpServers": {
        "apify": {
            "type": "http",
            "url": "https://mcp.apify.com/?tools=fetch-actor-details,jobsapi/mycareersfuture-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).
