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 ## Catho Jobs Scraper Scrapes job listings from [Catho.com.br](https://www.catho.com.br) — Brazil's largest paid job board. Extract job title, company name, salary, location, employment type, benefits, and full job description from over 650,000 active listings. ### What you get Each job record includes: | Field | Description | |-------|-------------| | `job_id` | Unique Catho job ID | | `job_url` | Full URL of the job detail page | | `title` | Job title | | `company` | Hiring company name | | `employment_type` | Contract type (e.g., CLT Efetivo, PJ, Estágio) | | `salary_min` / `salary_max` | Monthly salary range in BRL | | `salary_display` | Salary as shown on the listing (e.g., "R$ 5.500") | | `city` | Job location city | | `state` | State/region code (e.g., SP, RJ, MG) | | `description` | Full job description text | | `benefits` | Comma-separated list of offered benefits | | `date_posted` | Job posting date (ISO 8601) | | `scraped_at` | Timestamp when the record was scraped | ### Use cases - **Salary benchmarking** — Compare compensation across roles, cities, and contract types - **Labor market analysis** — Track job demand by sector, location, and skill set - **Job aggregators** — Combine Catho listings with other Brazilian job boards - **Recruitment research** — Find companies actively hiring in specific roles ### Input | Parameter | Type | Required | Default | Description | |-----------|------|----------|---------|-------------| | `keyword` | string | No | — | Filter jobs by keyword (e.g., `desenvolvedor`, `analista`, `enfermeiro`). Leave empty to scrape all listings. | | `maxItems` | integer | Yes | 100 | Maximum number of job listings to scrape | #### Example input ```json { "keyword": "desenvolvedor", "maxItems": 100 } ```` ### Output sample ```json { "job_id": "36879818", "job_url": "https://www.catho.com.br/vagas/analista-de-desenvolvimentoprogramacao-de-sistemas-web-front-end-pleno/36879818", "title": "Analista de Desenvolvimento/Programação de Sistemas Web - Front-End (Pleno)", "company": "THS TECNOLOGIA INFORMACAO E COMUNICACAO", "employment_type": "CLT (Efetivo)", "salary_min": 5001, "salary_max": 6000, "salary_display": "R$ 5.500", "city": "São Paulo", "state": "SP", "description": "Principais atividades\n\nDesenvolver e manter aplicações web utilizando angular...", "benefits": "Seguro saúde, Assistência médica, Assistência odontológica, Vale-transporte, Tíquete refeição", "date_posted": "2026-06-02T23:59:59Z", "scraped_at": "2026-06-03T00:12:34.567Z" } ``` ### Notes - Catho.com.br is a paid platform for Brazilian employers and job seekers.
