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 ## Bayt Jobs Scraper Extract job listings from Bayt.com — the leading job board for the Middle East and North Africa. Get job titles, companies, locations, salaries, experience requirements, and direct apply links without managing cookies, proxies, or Cloudflare challenges. ### What it does Bayt.com lists hundreds of thousands of active job postings across the UAE, Saudi Arabia, Kuwait, Egypt, Qatar, and dozens of other MENA countries. This actor scrapes those listings at scale. Feed it a keyword and an optional location filter, and it returns structured job data ready for analysis, recruitment pipelines, or competitive research. Each run fetches listing pages, bypasses Cloudflare's bot protection with a residential proxy, and saves every job card as a clean JSON record. ### Input | Field | Type | Default | Description | |-------|------|---------|-------------| | `searchQuery` | string | `software engineer` | Job title, skill, or keyword to search for | | `location` | string | _(empty)_ | Country or city filter (e.g. `UAE`, `Saudi Arabia`, `Dubai`) | | `maxItems` | integer | `50` | Maximum number of job listings to scrape | Leave `location` blank to search globally across all MENA regions. ### Output Each record is one job listing: | Field | Type | Description | |-------|------|-------------| | `job_id` | string | Unique job identifier extracted from the URL | | `job_url` | string | Full URL of the job listing on Bayt.com | | `job_title` | string | Job title as displayed on Bayt.com | | `company_name` | string | Name of the hiring company | | `company_url` | string | URL to the company profile on Bayt.com | | `location` | string | Job location (country and/or city) | | `salary` | string | Salary range if disclosed by the employer | | `career_level` | string | Required career level (Entry Level, Mid Career, Management, etc.) | | `experience_years` | string | Years of experience required | | `industry` | string | Industry sector | | `job_type` | string | Employment type (Full Time, Part Time, Contract, etc.) | | `description` | string | Job description snippet visible on the listing page | | `skills` | string | Required skills as a comma-separated string | | `apply_url` | string | Direct link to the job listing with apply button | | `posted_date` | string | Date the job was posted | | `scraped_at` | string | ISO timestamp when the record was scraped | ### Example output ```json { "job_id": "software-developer-5401234", "job_url": "https://www.bayt.com/en/uae/jobs/software-developer-5401234/", "job_title": "Senior Software Developer", "company_name": "Tech Solutions LLC", "company_url": "https://www.bayt.com/en/company/tech-solutions-llc-123456/", "location": "Dubai, UAE", "salary": "AED 15,000 - 20,000/month", "career_level": "Mid Career", "experience_years": "3-5 years", "industry": "Technology", "job_type": "Full Time", "description": "We are looking for a Senior Software Developer to join our team...", "skills": "JavaScript, Node.js, React, PostgreSQL", "apply_url": "https://www.bayt.com/en/uae/jobs/software-developer-5401234/", "posted_date": "2 days ago", "scraped_at": "2026-06-02T21:00:00.000Z" } ```` ### Use cases **Recruitment analytics** — Track which roles are trending in specific MENA markets. Compare hiring volume by industry, career level, and salary band. **Talent intelligence** — Map competitor hiring patterns. See which companies are expanding and in what directions. **Job market research** — Build datasets for salary benchmarking, skills gap analysis, or regional employment trends. **Application automation** — Feed job URLs into downstream pipelines that summarize postings, score fit, or draft applications. ### Notes - Bayt.com is protected by Cloudflare. This actor uses residential proxies to bypass the challenge automatically — no configuration needed. - Salary data is only available when the employer chooses to disclose it. Many listings omit salary. - Description snippets are extracted from listing cards. Full job descriptions require visiting the individual job page. - The `maxItems` cap applies to the total number of records saved, not the number of pages fetched. ### Pricing This actor uses Pay-Per-Event pricing. You are charged per record scraped. See the actor's pricing page for the current rate. *** Built by [OrbTop](https://orbtop.com) — structured data from the web. # Actor input Schema ## `sp_intended_usage` (type: `string`): Please describe how you plan to use the data extracted by this crawler. ## `sp_improvement_suggestions` (type: `string`): Provide any feedback or suggestions for improvements. ## `sp_contact` (type: `string`): Provide your email address so we can get in touch with you. ## `searchQuery` (type: `string`): Job title, skill, or keyword to search for (e.g. "software engineer", "marketing manager") ## `location` (type: `string`): Country or city to filter jobs (e.g. "UAE", "Saudi Arabia", "Dubai") ## `maxItems` (type: `integer`): Maximum number of job listings to scrape.
