## Pricing

from $0.01 / 1,000 job listings

This Actor is paid per event. You are not charged for the Apify platform usage, but only a fixed price for specific events.
Since this Actor supports Apify Store discounts, the price gets lower the higher subscription plan you have.

## 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.

#### 📋 BioSpace job records and hiring signals

Each saved record represents one eligible public BioSpace job listing. The dataset keeps the job identity, employer, location, public content, source links, dates, and classifications from the listing. It also includes listing age, age-based hiring urgency, and a hiring-demand signal built from the available job facts. Optional salary fields are saved when available in the public job content.

#### 🧭 Run a BioSpace job search

**Run steps**

1. Set `Target` to `Search jobs` for one BioSpace search query, or set it to `Job URLs` for public job and detail page URLs.
2. For `Search jobs`, enter one query and add any recency, therapeutic-area, modality, or job-function filters.
3. For `Job URLs`, add one or more public BioSpace job or detail page URLs. Values in the other target section are ignored.
4. Set `Maximum jobs` to a positive limit for a bounded run. Leave it empty to return all available results until the source is exhausted.
5. Run the Actor and open the dataset link in the run output.

Use a small `Maximum jobs` value for a bounded first check. If you already know the public pages you need, use `Job URLs` so you do not need to build a search query. The Actor saves the first eligible occurrence of each job it finds. If the same job appears again through another query or URL, the later match is ignored.

#### 💳 Pricing

**Charged event**

Pricing uses pay-per-event billing. The `Job listing` event is charged for each job listing saved to the dataset. Only saved job listings create this event, and the tiered price is shown on the Store page.

#### 🔌 Integrations

**Dataset handoff**

Use the dataset URL from the run output with Apify exports and dataset tools. It gives your workflow the structured job records described above.

#### ❓ FAQ

##### What happens if a job URL is not public?

The Actor handles publicly accessible BioSpace job and detail pages. Private, login-gated, removed, or otherwise inaccessible content is outside its scope.

##### Can I use search and job URLs in the same run?

Choose one target for each run. Values in the other target section are ignored, so use separate runs for a query and a list of job URLs.

##### What happens when I leave Maximum jobs empty?

The Actor returns all available results until the source is exhausted. Set a positive number when you want a bounded run.

##### How can I narrow a BioSpace search?

Use one search query with optional recency, therapeutic-area, modality, and job-function filters. These filters apply only when `target` is `search`.

##### Are salary fields present for every job?

No. The `salary` object and its fields are optional. They are saved when BioSpace exposes published salary details.

##### How is hiring urgency determined?

It is an age-based category derived from the listing age. It describes the age signal in the record and does not replace your own hiring review.

##### How are duplicate jobs handled?

The first eligible occurrence of a job is saved. If the same job appears again through another query or URL in the run, the later match is ignored.

##### Does the Actor apply to jobs or contact employers?

No. It collects public job data and does not submit applications, contact employers, or manage recruiting workflows.

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).
