## 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.

- **AI agents and MCP clients** — the [Apify MCP server](https://docs.apify.com/integrations/mcp.md) at `https://mcp.apify.com` (remote, streamable HTTP, OAuth on first use).
- **Agentic workflows and local Actor development** — [Agent Skills](https://apify.com/.well-known/agent-skills/index.json) with the [Apify CLI](https://docs.apify.com/cli/docs.md): `npm install -g apify-cli`, then `apify login`.
- **JavaScript/TypeScript projects** — the official [JS/TS client](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/js/docs.md): `npm install apify-client`.
- **Python projects** — the official [Python client](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/python/docs.md): `pip install apify-client`.
- **Any other language** — the [REST API](https://docs.apify.com/api/v2.md).

For usage examples, see the [API](#api) section below.

# README

## Korean Tech Job Postings Scraper - Wanted

**Who is hiring in Korea, for what, at what experience level, and what they say they need.** This actor pulls job postings from Wanted, the platform Korean tech companies and startups actually recruit on.

LinkedIn is thin in Korea. Wanted is where the roles are - and this turns it into a spreadsheet.

***

### What you get per job posting

| Field | Example |
|---|---|
| position | Product Engineer |
| companyName | 하이퍼노바 (HYPERNOVA) |
| industry | IT, 컨텐츠 |
| location / district | 서울 / 마포구 |
| minYearsExperience / max | 3 / 7 |
| employmentType | regular |
| **companyTags** | 퇴사율5%이하 (turnover under 5%), 50명이하 (under 50 staff), 설립3년이하 (founded within 3 years) |
| **mainTasks** | full role responsibilities as published |
| **requirements** | required qualifications |
| preferredPoints | nice-to-haves |
| benefits | perks and equity notes |
| intro | company pitch |
| referralRewardKrw / totalRewardKrw | 500,000 / 1,000,000 |
| likeCount | how many candidates bookmarked it |
| status | active |
| jobUrl / companyUrl | direct links |

Export as **JSON, CSV or Excel**, or pull from the API.

### What people use it for

**Hiring intelligence** - See which Korean companies are scaling, which functions they are staffing, and how senior the roles are. A company posting five engineering roles this month is a company with budget.

**Market entry research** - Before hiring in Korea, benchmark what competitors publish: required experience bands, employment types, stated benefits, and where offices sit.

**Compensation & benefits benchmarking** - Postings state experience bands, benefits and referral rewards. Track how those shift across months and industries.

**Recruiting & sourcing** - Build a live list of open roles with direct links, filtered by category or keyword, refreshed on a schedule.

**Startup and VC deal sourcing** - Company traits (headcount band, years since founding, turnover rate) plus hiring velocity are early growth signals.

### How to use it

**By category** - pick one or more: Development, Business, Design, Marketing, Commerce.

**By keyword** - search in English or Korean: `AI`, `backend`, `핀테크`, `machine learning`. Combine categories and keywords in one run.

Set **max jobs per source**, and turn off **full job description** if you only need the structured columns (lighter and cheaper).

### Notes

- Company traits and some role text come back in Korean, exactly as published. Positions are frequently in English.
- Wanted skips a listed skills field on most postings, so this actor reports the company traits it actually publishes instead of an empty column.
- Run it on an Apify Schedule to build a time series - hiring trends only become visible with repeat snapshots.

### Pairs with

**Naver Map Scraper** and **Naver Place Detail & Menu Scraper** - the same Korea data toolkit, for local business data.

### FAQ

**Do I need an account on the source site?** No. Public postings only, no login.

**Do I need Korean?** No. Field names are English and you can search in English. Some values are Korean as published.

**Can I schedule it?** Yes. Weekly runs are the usual pattern for hiring trend tracking.

**Is this legal?** The actor collects publicly visible job postings at a polite request rate. You are responsible for complying with applicable laws and the source site's terms in your use of the data.

## CLI example

echo '{}' |
apify call loopchips/korea-tech-jobs-scraper --silent --output-dataset

```

## MCP server setup

```json
{
    "mcpServers": {
        "apify": {
            "type": "http",
            "url": "https://mcp.apify.com/?tools=fetch-actor-details,loopchips/korea-tech-jobs-scraper"

The hosted server signs you in with OAuth on first connect, so no API token belongs in this config. Clients without OAuth support can send an `Authorization: Bearer <APIFY_API_TOKEN>` header instead, using a token from API & Integrations in Apify Console (https://console.apify.com/settings/integrations).
