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 ## Hirist.tech IT Jobs Scraper Extract structured IT job listings from **[Hirist.tech](https://www.hirist.tech)** — India's #1 niche tech job portal with 4M+ registered professionals and 50K+ active listings. Salary ranges, tech skills, experience levels, recruiter info and full job descriptions — all in one place. [![Apify Actor](https://img.shields.io/badge/Apify-Actor-blue)](https://apify.com) [![Built with Crawlee](https://img.shields.io/badge/Built%20with-Crawlee-orange)](https://crawlee.dev) [![Playwright](https://img.shields.io/badge/Engine-Playwright-green)]() --- ### Why Hirist.tech Hirist.tech is India's most respected platform for IT and tech hiring. Unlike generic job boards, every listing here is tech-focused — with structured salary data in LPA, tech stack tags, and seniority levels. No existing Apify actor scrapes it properly. **What makes this actor different:** - **Salary data** — Every listing shows salary in LPA (Lakhs Per Annum). Parsed into `salaryMin` and `salaryMax` numbers - **Tech stack as structured data** — Skills extracted as an array, not buried in text - **Recruiter info** — Name and contact details when available - **API interception** — The actor captures Hirist's own JSON API responses during page load, delivering clean pre-structured data without fragile DOM parsing - **Full pagination** — Scrapes all pages, not just the first --- ### How It Works Hirist.tech is a React Single Page Application. The actor uses Playwright to load each page and intercepts the XHR/fetch API calls that Hirist fires to load job data. This gives pre-structured JSON directly — no DOM parsing required in most cases. A DOM fallback handles edge cases. **Flow:** 1. Build search URLs from keyword × city combinations 2. Load each search page with Playwright 3. Intercept Hirist's JSON API response → parse job cards 4. Optionally open each detail page for full description, exact salary and recruiter info 5. Paginate until `maxPages` or `maxJobs` reached --- ### Supported Tech Categories Hirist.tech covers the full India IT job spectrum. Any keyword that appears in the URL pattern `/k/{keyword}-jobs` works: | Category | Keywords | |---|---| | Backend | `java`, `python`, `node-js`, `golang`, `ruby`, `php` | | Frontend | `react`, `angular`, `vue-js`, `javascript`, `typescript` | | Mobile | `android`, `ios`, `react-native`, `flutter` | | Data & AI | `data-science`, `machine-learning`, `deep-learning`, `data-engineering`, `nlp` | | DevOps & Cloud | `devops`, `aws`, `azure`, `gcp`, `kubernetes`, `docker` | | Database | `sql`, `mongodb`, `postgresql`, `elasticsearch`, `redis` | | QA | `selenium`, `cypress`, `appium`, `performance-testing` | | Security | `cybersecurity`, `penetration-testing`, `soc` | | Architecture | `solution-architect`, `microservices`, `system-design` | | All jobs | Leave `keywords` empty | --- ### Input ```json { "keywords": ["python", "data-science", "devops"], "cities": ["bangalore", "hyderabad", "pune"], "experience": "2-5", "maxJobs": 300, "maxPages": 10, "scrapeDetails": true, "requestDelay": 1000, "maxConcurrency": 2 } ```` #### Parameters | Parameter | Type | Default | Description | |---|---|---|---| | `keywords` | array | `[]` | Tech keywords to search. Empty = all jobs | | `cities` | array | `[]` | City filters. Empty = all India | | `experience` | string | `""` | Experience filter: `0-2`, `2-5`, `5-10`, `10+` or empty | | `maxJobs` | integer | `100` | Max total jobs to scrape (0 = unlimited) | | `maxPages` | integer | `10` | Max pages per keyword+city (0 = unlimited) | | `scrapeDetails` | boolean | `true` | Open detail pages for full description + recruiter | | `requestDelay` | integer (ms) | `1000` | Delay between page navigations | | `maxConcurrency` | integer | `2` | Parallel browser tabs | *** ### Output Each job is saved as one JSON record. Example: ```json { "jobId": "1596353", "url": "https://www.hirist.tech/j/senior-python-engineer-at-razorpay-1596353", "title": "Senior Python Engineer", "company": "Razorpay", "companyType": "Product", "location": "Bangalore", "isRemote": false, "salaryMin": 25, "salaryMax": 40, "salaryRaw": "25 - 40 LPA", "experienceMin": 4, "experienceMax": 8, "experienceRaw": "4 - 8 Yrs", "skills": ["Python", "Django", "FastAPI", "PostgreSQL", "Redis", "AWS", "Microservices"], "description": "We are looking for a Senior Python Engineer to join our Payments Infrastructure team...", "recruiterName": "Priya Sharma", "postedAt": "2 days ago", "keyword": "python", "scrapedAt": "2026-04-15T10:00:00.000Z" } ``` #### Output Fields | Field | Type | Description | |---|---|---| | `jobId` | string | Unique Hirist job ID | | `url` | string | Job detail page URL | | `title` | string | Job title | | `company` | string | Hiring company name | | `companyType` | string | Product / Service / Startup / MNC | | `location` | string | City or cities | | `isRemote` | boolean | Remote/WFH flag | | `salaryMin` | number | Minimum salary in LPA | | `salaryMax` | number | Maximum salary in LPA | | `salaryRaw` | string | Salary as displayed (`"25 - 40 LPA"`) | | `experienceMin` | number | Min years of experience | | `experienceMax` | number | Max years of experience | | `experienceRaw` | string | Experience as displayed (`"4 - 8 Yrs"`) | | `skills` | array | Required tech skills | | `description` | string | Full job description | | `recruiterName` | string | HR/recruiter contact name | | `postedAt` | string | Post date/time | | `keyword` | string | Keyword used to find this job | | `scrapedAt` | string | Scrape timestamp (ISO 8601) | #### Download Formats JSON, JSONL, CSV, XLSX, XML — all available from Apify Console Dataset tab. *** ### Use Cases - **Salary benchmarking** — `salaryMin`/`salaryMax` in LPA for every role. Compare Python vs Java vs DevOps pay across Indian cities - **Tech stack demand analysis** — Which skills appear most across 50K+ listings? `skills` array enables aggregation - **Recruiter outreach lists** — `recruiterName` for direct HR contacts - **Job market monitoring** — Schedule daily runs to track new listings for specific tech stacks in target cities - **Startup vs MNC intelligence** — `companyType` field lets you filter product companies from service firms - **AI / LLM grounding** — `description` + `skills` + `salaryRaw` as structured context for job-matching agents, resume gap analysis or market research *** ### Automation & Integration #### n8n / Make / Zapier Schedule runs and route results to Google Sheets, Airtable, Slack alerts or CRM. Example: run daily for `machine-learning` in Bangalore, push new listings to a Slack channel. #### Apify API ```bash ## Start a run curl -X POST "https://api.apify.com/v2/acts/YOUR_ACTOR_ID/runs?token=YOUR_TOKEN" \ -H "Content-Type: application/json" \ -d '{ "keywords": ["python", "data-science"], "cities": ["bangalore"], "maxJobs": 500, "scrapeDetails": true }' ## Get results curl "https://api.apify.com/v2/datasets/YOUR_DATASET_ID/items?token=YOUR_TOKEN&format=json" ``` #### AI Pipelines All fields are typed and consistently named. Integrate directly with LangChain, LlamaIndex or OpenAI function-calling for: - Resume-to-job matching - Salary prediction models - India IT market trend analysis *** ### Technical Notes - Hirist.tech is a React SPA — standard HTTP crawlers return empty pages - This actor uses **Playwright** to fully render the React app - **API interception** captures Hirist's own JSON API during page load — faster and more reliable than DOM parsing - **DOM fallback** activates if API interception misses data - Salary is in **LPA (Lakhs Per Annum)** — multiply by 100,000 for INR annual value - Pagination uses `?page=N` query parameter or Next button click *** ### Legal & Ethical Use Users are responsible for compliance with [Hirist.tech Terms of Service](https://www.hirist.tech/terms) and applicable Indian data protection regulations. Use reasonable delays and do not republish individual recruiter personal data. *** ### Changelog | Version | Date | Notes | |---|---|---| | 1.0.0 | 2025-04-15 | Initial release — API intercept + DOM fallback, keyword/city/experience filters, full pagination | # Actor input Schema ## `keywords` (type: `array`): One or more job search keywords.
