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/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 ## Bayt Scraper (Apify) Thin Apify Actor that calls the **bayt-com** Cloud Run worker over **HTTPS + API key**. Does **not** scrape inside Apify CU — no Chrome/patchright in this image. > **Worker URL is config, not code:** the Actor reads `WORKER_BASE_URL` from Actor environment variables (plus optional per-run `workerBaseUrl`). If you migrate the worker to a new host, update `WORKER_BASE_URL` (and `WORKER_AUTH` if the API key changes) in Apify Console — no Actor code change required. Set `WORKER_PROVIDES_PROXY=1` when the worker supplies its own `PROXY_URL`. ### Architecture ```` This Actor --HTTPS + WORKER\_AUTH--> bayt-com Cloud Run (me-west1) --> bayt.com ```` Worker URL (default / env): `https://bayt-com-l7fhldkljq-zf.a.run.app` ### Channels - `jobs` — SERP (`/en/{geo}/jobs/{keyword}-jobs/`), optional `enrichDetails` - `company` — company profile via `companyId` / `companyUrl` - Detail mode — `detailUrls` / `jobIds` → `/v1/listings` #### Free Apify plan limits (set by this Actor's developer) | Limit | Free Apify plan | Paid Apify plan | | --- | --- | --- | | Runs of this Actor | **10 runs total** | Unlimited | | Results per run (`maxResults`) | **Up to 200** | Up to 200 | These caps are enforced by the Actor developer (not Apify platform errors). When you hit the 10-run limit, the run finishes gracefully with a clear status message asking you to upgrade. Paying Apify users are not subject to the run cap. ### Env | Variable | Purpose | | --- | --- | | `WORKER_BASE_URL` | HTTPS worker root (production source of truth) | | `WORKER_AUTH` | Must match Cloud Run `WORKER_API_KEY` (secret `@baytWorkerApiKey`) | | `WORKER_PROVIDES_PROXY` | `1` = skip forwarding proxyUrl; worker uses `PROXY_URL` | ### Local ```bash python3.11 -m venv .venv && source .venv/bin/activate pip install -r requirements.txt export WORKER_BASE_URL='https://bayt-com-l7fhldkljq-zf.a.run.app' export WORKER_AUTH='…' apify run --purge ```` ### FAQ **Q: Why did my free-plan run stop with a free-tier message?**\ A: Free Apify plan users get **10 runs** of this Actor and **up to 200 results per run**. These limits are set by the Actor developer (not Apify). Upgrade to a paid Apify plan for unlimited runs. ### Notes - Proxy: worker uses durable `PROXY_URL`; Apify actor-run proxy passwords are not forwarded. - Standby Live View: `usesStandbyMode` + `python -m src`. # Actor input Schema ## `keyword` (type: `string`): Jobs search keyword (e.g. software engineer). ## `location` (type: `string`): Optional city slug for jobs-in-{city} URLs (e.g. dubai). ## `channel` (type: `string`): Jobs SERP or company profile. ## `geo` (type: `string`): Bayt geo path segment (international, uae, saudi-arabia, …). ## `country` (type: `string`): Optional alias for geo (ae, uae, sa, …). ## `companyId` (type: `string`): Required for channel=company when companyUrl is empty. ## `companyName` (type: `string`): Used when building company URLs from companyId. ## `companyUrl` (type: `string`): Optional Bayt company URL instead of companyId. ## `maxResults` (type: `integer`): Maximum rows to return (1–200). Free Apify plan users are limited to 200 results per run and 10 total runs of this Actor — limits set by the Actor developer. ## `maxPages` (type: `integer`): SERP pages to crawl (?page=N, 30 jobs/page). ## `detailUrls` (type: `array`): When set, Actor calls /v1/listings instead of search. ## `jobIds` (type: `array`): Numeric Bayt job ids for /v1/listings. ## `enrichDetails` (type: `boolean`): Open Job LDP for JobPosting fields after SERP. ## `sortBy` (type: `string`): r|d|l or relevance|date|language. ## `dateInterval` (type: `string`): 1|2|3 or 30d|7d|24h. ## `remote` (type: `boolean`): Apply remote\_working\_type filter when true. ## `includeRaw` (type: `boolean`): Reserved for worker raw payloads. ## `failover` (type: `boolean`): Allow worker retries. ## `workerBaseUrl` (type: `string`): Override the Cloud Run worker origin for this run. Defaults to Actor env WORKER\_BASE\_URL. Use when testing a staging worker; production migrations should update WORKER\_BASE\_URL in Actor settings (no code change). ## `proxyConfiguration` (type: `object`): Apify proxy UI. Ignored when Actor env WORKER\_PROVIDES\_PROXY=1 (worker uses its own PROXY\_URL). Actor-run proxy passwords are never forwarded to Cloud Run. ## Actor input object example ```json { "keyword": "software engineer", "location": "", "channel": "jobs", "geo": "international", "country": "", "companyId": "", "companyName": "", "companyUrl": "", "maxResults": 20, "maxPages": 1, "detailUrls": [], "jobIds": [], "enrichDetails": false, "sortBy": "", "dateInterval": "", "remote": false, "includeRaw": false, "failover": true, "workerBaseUrl": "", "proxyConfiguration": { "useApifyProxy": true, "apifyProxyGroups": [ "RESIDENTIAL" ] } } ``` # Actor output Schema ## `listings` (type: `string`): Normalized Bayt records. ## `runSummary` (type: `string`): Run outcome summary. ## `inputEcho` (type: `string`): Normalized non-secret input. ## `errorSummary` (type: `string`): Structured failure details. # API You can run this Actor programmatically using our API.
