## 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.
In JavaScript/TypeScript projects, use official [JavaScript/TypeScript client](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/js/docs.md):
```bash
npm install apify-client
```
In Python projects, use official [Python client library](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/python/docs.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/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
## NHS Jobs Scraper
Extracts job listings from [NHS Jobs](https://www.jobs.nhs.uk), the official job site for the UK's National Health Service. Give it a search results page and it returns structured data for every listing — job title, employer, location, salary, contract type, working pattern, and the full job description — as ready-to-use JSON.
### ✨ Features
- **Job listing extraction** — title, employer, location, salary, contract type, working pattern, dates, reference number, and full description for every job
- **Pagination support** — automatically follows search result pages until enough listings are collected
- **Proxy support** — uses Apify Proxy by default to keep runs reliable at scale
### 🔧 Input Configuration
| Field | Type | Required | Default | Description |
| --- | --- | --- | --- | --- |
| `startUrls` | array | ✅ | `https://www.jobs.nhs.uk/candidate/search/results?keyword=&location=` | NHS Jobs search result pages or direct job listing URLs to start scraping from |
| `maxItems` | integer | — | `5` | Maximum number of job listings to scrape per start URL |
| `proxyConfiguration` | object | — | `{ "useApifyProxy": true }` | Proxy settings for the run |
**Supported URL types:**
- NHS Jobs search result pages, e.g. `https://www.jobs.nhs.uk/candidate/search/results?keyword=nurse&location=london`
- Direct job listing pages, e.g. `https://www.jobs.nhs.uk/candidate/jobadvert/`
### 📦 Output
The dataset includes one **Overview** view showing the main fields for each scraped job in a compact table.
**Sample output:**

}
````
You can download the dataset in various formats such as JSON, HTML, CSV, or Excel.
### 💡 Uses of This Data
- Aggregating NHS vacancies onto a jobs board or careers site
- Tracking new openings at specific NHS trusts or in specific regions
- Monitoring salary bands and contract types across healthcare roles
- Feeding job alerts or notifications for specific job titles or locations
- Workforce and recruitment market research within the UK healthcare sector
### 🚀 How to Use
1. [Sign up](https://apify.com/sign-up) for a free Apify account — includes **$5 monthly credit**.
2. Open the actor page and click **Try for free**.
3. Fill in the **Input** fields (start URL or search query is required).
4. Click **Start** and wait for the run to complete.
5. Download results from the **Output** tab in JSON, CSV, or Excel format.
You can also run this actor via the [Apify API](https://docs.apify.com/api/v2) or integrate it directly into your workflows using [Zapier](https://zapier.com/apps/apify), [Make](https://www.make.com/), or [n8n](https://n8n.io/).
### 📝 Notes
- **Proxy enabled by default** — Apify Proxy is used out of the box to keep runs reliable; adjust the group or country in the Input tab if needed.
- **API integration** — This actor can be called as an API from any automation platform (Zapier, Make, n8n, custom scripts).
