## 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

### What does Arbeitnow Jobs Scraper do?

**Arbeitnow Jobs Scraper** extracts public job, listing, or page records from https://www.arbeitnow.com/. It reads current source API responses and structured records; page metadata is excluded. It does not bypass authentication or extract private data.

### Why use Arbeitnow Jobs Scraper?

- Normalized title, company, location, description, URL, source, and extraction status fields.
- Explicit timeout plus keyword and location filters.
- Apify scheduling, API access, integrations, monitoring, and dataset exports.

### What data can it extract?

| Field | Description |
|---|---|
| title | Public job or page title |
| companyName | Public company name when available |
| location | Public location label |
| description | Cleaned public description |
| jobUrl | Canonical public listing URL |
| sourcePortal | Source hostname |

### How to run

Open the input tab, confirm the target start URLs, set maxItems, and optionally add keyword or location filters. Download the dataset as JSON, HTML, CSV, or Excel.

### Output

Records preserve public provenance. If no real records are available, the run fails and records diagnostics in key-value storage.

### Tips, limitations, and support

Use only public, permitted URLs and respect each website terms and rate limits. Some sites need a site-specific board URL. Public pages may contain personal data; use results lawfully and with a legitimate purpose. Use the Issues tab for feedback and the API tab for programmatic access.

### Live API runtime

The default run requests up to 10 real records. Start URLs in the input form match this Actor's configured source. Sources are fetched in parallel (default concurrency 4); same-source pagination follows returned next-page links. Use `requestMethod: "POST"` and `requestBody` for a source-specific JSON or GraphQL endpoint. Optional proxy fallback must be explicitly configured.

Only distinct records with a source-provided title and URL are written. Source fields are retained in `rawData`; unavailable optional fields are omitted. Page metadata, navigation links, errors, and synthetic records are not output rows. A zero-record run fails with its details in `ERROR_DIAGNOSTIC` and `SOURCE_METADATA`. The `RUN_SUMMARY` contains the result count; request timings, status codes, byte counts, and proxy usage are recorded in `SOURCE_METADATA`. An API key may still be required by a particular source; this runtime does not invent a substitute response.

Configured public source endpoints:

- [www.arbeitnow.com](https://www.arbeitnow.com/api/job-board-api)

# Actor input Schema

## `startUrl` (type: `string`):

Optional single public page or API endpoint. When supplied, it takes precedence over startUrls; otherwise existing startUrls/config defaults are used.

## `startUrls` (type: `array`):

Public pages or API endpoints to extract. Add a site-specific URL when the inferred default is empty.

## `maxItems` (type: `integer`):

Maximum records to output.

## `keyword` (type: `string`):

Optional case-insensitive title or description filter.

## `searchQuery` (type: `string`):

Optional search/filter term. When non-empty it takes precedence over the legacy keyword field.

## `location` (type: `string`):

Optional case-insensitive location filter.

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

Per-request timeout in seconds.

## `maxConcurrency` (type: `integer`):

Bounded parallel HTTP source requests; pagination within each source remains ordered.

## `maxPages` (type: `integer`):

Maximum pagination requests per source. Stops sooner when maxItems is reached.

## `maxRetries` (type: `integer`):

Retries network failures and transient HTTP errors with backoff. Does not retry denied requests.

## `requestMethod` (type: `string`):

GET for public feeds or POST for a JSON API/GraphQL endpoint.

## `requestBody` (type: `object`):

Source-specific JSON body, including GraphQL query and variables when applicable.

## `proxyConfiguration` (type: `object`):

Explicitly configured custom or Apify proxy fallback after a blocked direct request. Off by default.

## MCP server setup

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