## What's an Apify Actor?

An Actor is a serverless cloud program that runs on the Apify platform. It has two run modes.
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.

Apify vocabulary and the platform model are defined once, in the agent quickstart at https://apify.com/agents.md.

## 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.

Do not guess an integration path. Every one of them is in the agent quickstart at https://apify.com/agents.md: the Apify MCP server, Agent Skills with the Apify CLI, the JavaScript and Python clients, the REST API, and the account-free path for an agent with no human to sign in. It also carries the rule on stating cost before the first paid run.

For examples already wired to this Actor's own input schema, see the [API](#api) section below.

Each client library has reference documentation the quickstart does not restate: [JavaScript/TypeScript](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/js/docs.md) (`npm install apify-client`) and [Python](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/python/docs.md) (`pip install apify-client`).

# README

## ATS Job Change Alerts — Greenhouse & Lever Job Monitor

**Keywords:** job change alerts, Greenhouse jobs API, Lever jobs scraper, new job postings monitor, remote jobs visa sponsorship, AI jobs tracker, hiring signals.

Watch company career boards via their **official public job-board APIs** and get only **new / updated / removed** jobs, auto-tagged:

- `remote` (true / false / null=unknown) from workplace type & location
- `visaSponsorship` (yes / no / unknown) from sentence-level rules on the posting text (text itself is not output)
- `isAiRole` (title/department rules; excludes sales/recruiting titles)

### Input

| field | default | |
|---|---|---|
| `boards` | \[] | e.g. `["greenhouse:stripe","lever:spotify"]` (slug from the board URL) |
| `useSeedBoards` | true if `boards` empty | 18 verified boards (Stripe, Anthropic, Databricks, GitLab, Palantir…) |
| `remoteOnly`, `aiRolesOnly` | false | |
| `visaSponsorship` | – | e.g. `["yes"]` |
| `keywords`, `locations` | – | substring match on title/department, locations |
| `onlyChanges` | true | false = also emit unchanged |
| `stateStoreName` | ats-jobs-state | use one per saved search |
| `delaySeconds` | 1.0 | Lever crawl-delay |

First run emits every matching job as `new`; later runs emit only diffs. Removal is only reported for boards that were fetched successfully this run. A job that stops matching your filters is reported as `removed`.

### Example input

```json
{
  "boards": ["greenhouse:stripe", "lever:spotify"],
  "remoteOnly": true,
  "onlyChanges": true,
  "stateStoreName": "my-remote-watch"
}
```

### Sample output

```json
{
  "jobKey": "greenhouse:airbnb:8031901",
  "company": "Airbnb",
  "title": "Data Scientist - Algorithms, Community Support",
  "locations": ["United States"],
  "remote": true,
  "visaSponsorship": "unknown",
  "isAiRole": true,
  "changeType": "new",
  "url": "https://careers.airbnb.com/positions/8031901?gh_jid=8031901"
}
```

### Live run (2026-10-11, local Apify mode)

19 boards (18 seed + 1 bogus) → 5,075 jobs in 36 s, 1 error (bogus board, logged); 2nd run: 0 changes.
Tags: remote true 886 / false 1,186 / unknown 3,004; visa yes 642 / no 428 / unknown 4,005; AI roles 478.

### Limits

Rule tagging is heuristic (precision not measured on live data beyond fixtures). Ashby not supported (see COMPLIANCE.md).

### Use cases & scheduling

- **Daily job alerts** — schedule daily; after the first run you only get `new`, `updated` and `removed` jobs.
- **Remote + visa sponsorship jobs** — `remoteOnly: true`, `visaSponsorship: "yes"`.
- **AI/ML role tracking** — `aiRolesOnly: true` across Greenhouse and Lever boards.
- **Hiring signals for sales / investors** — watch competitors' or target accounts' boards for new teams and locations.
- **Recruiting research** — export a full snapshot with `onlyChanges: false`.

Tip: create an [Apify Schedule](https://docs.apify.com/platform/schedules) for the Actor or one of the tasks below to turn it into a recurring monitor, and add a webhook/integration to get results in Slack, email or Google Sheets.

### FAQ

**Which job boards are supported?**\
Greenhouse and Lever public job-board APIs. Use the slug from the board URL, e.g. `greenhouse:stripe`, `lever:spotify`. Ashby/Workday are not supported.

**Why did the first run return every job?**\
The first run establishes a baseline per `stateStoreName`; later runs return only diffs. Use one state store per saved search.

**How accurate are remote/visa tags?**\
They are rule-based on workplace type, location and posting sentences; `unknown` is common. Verify on the posting.

**Is the posting text included?**\
No — only metadata and tags plus the link to the original posting.

## CLI example

```bash
echo '{
  "boards": [
    "greenhouse:stripe"
  ]

## MCP server setup

```json
{
    "mcpServers": {

    }
}
```

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).
