## 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).

## HH MCP (unofficial)

> ⚠️ **Disclaimer** — This is an **unofficial** integration. This Actor is not affiliated with, endorsed by, or sponsored by hh.ru or its parent company. "hh.ru" / «HeadHunter» are trademarks of their respective owners. This Actor uses the public hh.ru API (https://api.hh.ru) under the publisher's own application token. You are responsible for using the data in compliance with hh.ru's API Terms of Service.
>
> **Дисклеймер** — Это **неофициальная** интеграция. Actor не связан, не одобрен и не спонсируется компанией HeadHunter. «hh.ru» / «HeadHunter» — товарные знаки соответствующих правообладателей. Actor использует публичный API hh.ru (https://api.hh.ru) под токеном приложения издателя. Использование данных регулируется правилами API hh.ru.

Search vacancies and employers on **hh.ru** through AI assistants like Claude Desktop, Cursor, and other MCP-compatible clients. Find jobs by area, salary, schedule, work format, employer, professional role; fetch full vacancy and employer descriptions; look up reference data — all through natural language.

### What you can do

Vacancy search and read:
- `hh_search_areas` — look up area IDs by name (`Москва → 1`, `Россия → 113`)
- `hh_find_vacancies` — full hh.ru filter set: text, area, salary, period, schedule, work format, education, industry, employer, professional role, etc.
- `hh_get_vacancy` — full details by vacancy ID (description, key skills, address, contacts)
- `hh_get_similar_vacancies` — "more like this" for any vacancy

Employer search and read:
- `hh_find_employers` — search by name, area, type, vacancies count
- `hh_get_employer` — full employer profile (type, description, industries, site, area, IT-accreditation)

Reference data:
- `hh_list_dictionaries` — hh.ru reference dictionaries (experience, employment, work_format, currency, etc.)
- `hh_list_professional_roles` — professional roles taxonomy
- `hh_list_industries` — industry taxonomy
- `hh_search_metro_stations` — metro stations across cities

All ten tools are **read-only and idempotent**. The Actor exposes whatever the underlying HH MCP server provides.

### Setup (1 minute)

Unlike per-user OAuth integrations, you don't need to register an hh.ru application — the Actor uses a shared application token provisioned by the publisher.

#### Connect from your MCP client

Once the Actor is running in standby mode, connect to:

````

https://<your-username>--hh-mcp.apify.actor/mcp

```

with the Authorization header:

```

Authorization: Bearer \<YOUR\_APIFY\_API\_TOKEN>

````

The Actor speaks Streamable HTTP MCP (POST/GET/DELETE on `/mcp`, session id in `mcp-session-id` header). Most MCP clients handle this transparently.

##### Claude Desktop config example

```json
{
  "mcpServers": {
    "hh": {
      "url": "https://your-username--hh-mcp.apify.actor/mcp",
      "headers": {
        "Authorization": "Bearer YOUR_APIFY_API_TOKEN"
      }
    }
  }
}
````

### Pricing

- **Actor start**: $0.00005 — when the Actor instance boots (cold start)
- **Tool call**: $0.01 — per MCP tool invocation
- **List request**: $0.001 — per tools/list, resources/list discovery call

Plus standard Apify compute costs (typically $0.01–0.05 per hour of standby).

### Limitations

hh.ru removed applicant-side API access in **December 2024**. The following are **not implementable** through the public API and are intentionally absent from this Actor:

- listing your own resumes
- reading resume details
- finding vacancies matched to your resume
- listing your negotiations / responses
- applying to vacancies

Quote from hh.ru API support (8 May 2026): «Работа с резюме и откликами со стороны соискателя не поддерживается в нашем API с декабря прошлого года. С токеном соискателя доступен только запрос GET /me».

This Actor is for **search and discovery** of public vacancy and employer data, not for managing a job-seeker account.

### Rate limits

The Actor shares a single hh.ru application token across all subscribers, which has aggregate rate limits. If you hit limits, requests will return 429 — wait and retry. For high-volume use cases, contact the publisher.

### По-русски

Ищите вакансии и работодателей на hh.ru через AI-ассистентов (Claude Desktop, Cursor, другие MCP-клиенты). Поиск по городу, зарплате, графику, формату работы, работодателю, профессиональной роли; полные описания вакансий и компаний; справочные данные — голосом или текстом.

**Что нужно**:

1. Apify аккаунт (бесплатный план подходит)
2. Подписка на этот Actor

**Регистрация в hh.ru не требуется** — Actor использует общий токен приложения издателя.

**Установка**: подключитесь из Claude Desktop по URL Actor'а из формы выше — никаких полей заполнять не надо.

**Тарификация**: $0.01 за вызов tool + базовые расходы Apify на compute. Для активного использования (~100 вызовов в день) — порядка $30–60 в месяц включая Apify costs.

**Ограничения**: с декабря 2024 hh.ru закрыл API для соискателей. Доступен только поиск публичных вакансий и работодателей — не работа с резюме/откликами от лица соискателя.
