## What's an Apify Actor?
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
## Lawjobs Scraper
Lawjobs (lawjobs.com) is a legal jobs board. This actor collects structured job listing data from Lawjobs search and job detail pages.
### Introduction
The Lawjobs Scraper starts from Lawjobs search or job detail URLs, paginates through available search results, opens each job detail page, and extracts structured job data such as title, company, location, salary, experience, education, position type, posting date, and job description.
### Use Cases
- **Legal job market research**: Track law firm hiring, salaries, locations, and position types.
- **Recruitment intelligence**: Monitor new legal openings and sponsored listings.
- **Lead generation**: Build structured datasets for staffing, sales, and outreach workflows.
- **Analytics pipelines**: Feed BI tools, dashboards, and internal data warehouses.
### Input
Provide the following fields:
- `startUrls` (array, required): Lawjobs search or job detail URLs.
- `maxItems` (integer, optional): Maximum number of job items to extract per search URL.
- `proxyConfiguration` (object, optional): Apify proxy settings.
Notes:
- Search URLs under `/jobs` are treated as list URLs even when they include `job_id`.
- Detail URLs can look like `https://lawjobs.com/job/general-liability-defense-attorney-atlanta-georgia-192060`.
- Detail URLs are recognized by the `/job/` path and numeric job ID suffix.
- Crawling stops per source URL when `maxItems` is reached or when no more results are returned.
- Proxies are recommended for larger runs and better stability.
### Input Example
```json
{
"startUrls": [
{
"url": "https://lawjobs.com/jobs?country=&state=&city=&zip=&latitude=&longitude=&keywords=manager&city_state_zip=&locale=en&page=1&sort=relevance"
},
{
"url": "https://lawjobs.com/job/general-liability-defense-attorney-atlanta-georgia-192060"
}
],
"maxItems": 10,
"proxyConfiguration": {
"useApifyProxy": true
}
}
````
### Output
Each dataset item contains fields like:
```json
{
"url": "https://lawjobs.com/job/general-liability-defense-attorney-atlanta-georgia-192060",
"detailUrl": "https://lawjobs.com/job/general-liability-defense-attorney-atlanta-georgia-192060",
"jobId": 192060,
"title": "General Liability Defense Attorney",
"companyName": "Drew Eckl & Farnham",
"location": "Atlanta, Georgia (Hybrid)",
"salary": "$100,000.00 - $160,000.00 Commensurate with Experience",
"experience": "",
"education": "Juris Doctor",
"positionType": "Full Time",
"postedDate": "March 25, 2026",
"modifiedTime": 3548964190,
"isSponsored": true,
"coordinates": {
"latitude": "33.7623411",
"longitude": "-84.3847253"
},
"descriptionText": "Clean text version of the job description.",
"descriptionHtml": "HTML version of the job description.
"
}
```
The scraper paginates through search results and stops when `maxItems` is reached per start URL or when no more result items are found.
### Why use the Lawjobs Scraper?
- **Focused**: Built specifically for Lawjobs search and detail flows.
- **Structured output**: Ready-to-use JSON records for automation and analysis.
- **Per-URL limits**: `maxItems` is enforced per search URL.
- **Flexible input**: Supports both search URLs and job detail URLs.
- **Apify-native**: Works with Apify datasets and standard actor configuration.
### FAQ
- **How many jobs can it extract?**\
Controlled by `maxItems` per source URL. If Lawjobs returns fewer jobs than `maxItems`, the actor stops when all available jobs are collected.
- **Do I need proxies?**\
Proxies are recommended for larger runs and stability.
- **Can I start from a job detail URL?**\
Yes. The actor supports Lawjobs detail URLs under `/job/`.
- **What if a `/jobs` URL includes `job_id`?**\
It is treated as a list URL because `/jobs` represents the search page.
