## 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

## Indeed Germany Job Listings Scraper

Get current German job postings from de.indeed.com as clean structured data: title, company, location, salary, job type and a direct link to the posting. Use it for German labour-market research, salary benchmarking, lead lists of hiring companies, or feeding a job board. Most Indeed scrapers target the US; this one is built for Germany (German search terms, German locations, euro salaries).

### Output example

The shape of one dataset item (values illustrative):

```json
{
  "jobKey": "a1b2c3d4e5f60789",
  "title": "Softwareentwickler (m/w/d) Backend",
  "company": "Beispiel GmbH",
  "location": "Berlin",
  "salaryText": "60.000 € - 75.000 € pro Jahr",
  "salaryMin": 60000,
  "salaryMax": 75000,
  "salaryPeriod": "yearly",
  "jobTypes": ["Vollzeit"],
  "postedRelative": "vor 3 Tagen",
  "snippet": "Entwicklung und Betrieb unserer Backend-Services in Python...",
  "companyRating": 4.1,
  "url": "https://de.indeed.com/viewjob?jk=a1b2c3d4e5f60789",
  "searchQuery": "Softwareentwickler",
  "searchLocation": "Berlin"
}
```

Fields can be empty when the posting does not show them (salary is often missing).

### Input

- **Search terms**: one or more job titles or keywords.
- **Location**: German city, region or postcode (optional).
- **Posted within**: any, 1, 3, 7 or 14 days.
- **Max jobs per search term**: 1 to 1000 (default 50).

### Pricing

$0.002 per result (a job in the dataset). You pay only for jobs returned. Duplicates across search terms are removed.

### Limits

- Reads only public search result pages, no login, and only what a logged-out visitor sees.
- Indeed uses bot protection. The Actor uses residential proxies, slow polite pacing and retries, but runs can still be blocked at times; the run then fails with a clear message and no charge for missing results.
- Search results show a snippet, not the full job description.
- Indeed caps how deep a single search goes (roughly 1000 results); use more specific terms or locations for broader coverage.
- No personal contact details are collected.

# API

You can run this Actor programmatically using our API. Below are code examples in JavaScript, Python, and CLI, as well as the OpenAPI specification and MCP server setup.

## JavaScript example

```javascript
import { ApifyClient } from 'apify-client';

// Initialize the ApifyClient with your Apify API token
// Replace the '<YOUR_API_TOKEN>' with your token
const client = new ApifyClient({
    token: '<YOUR_API_TOKEN>',
});

// Prepare Actor input
const input = {
    "searchQueries": [
        "Softwareentwickler"
    ],
    "location": "Berlin",
    "datePosted": "any",
    "maxItems": 30
};

// Run the Actor and wait for it to finish
const run = await client.actor("mellora/indeed-germany-job-listings-scraper").call(input);

// Fetch and print Actor results from the run's dataset (if any)
console.log('Results from dataset');
console.log(`💾 Check your data here: https://console.apify.com/storage/datasets/${run.defaultDatasetId}`);
const { items } = await client.dataset(run.defaultDatasetId).listItems();
items.forEach((item) => {
    console.dir(item);
});

## Python example

```python
from apify_client import ApifyClient

# Initialize the ApifyClient with your Apify API token
# Replace '<YOUR_API_TOKEN>' with your token.
client = ApifyClient("<YOUR_API_TOKEN>")

# Prepare the Actor input
run_input = {
    "searchQueries": ["Softwareentwickler"],
    "location": "Berlin",
    "datePosted": "any",
    "maxItems": 30,
}

# Run the Actor and wait for it to finish
run = client.actor("mellora/indeed-germany-job-listings-scraper").call(run_input=run_input)

# Fetch and print Actor results from the run's dataset (if there are any)
print(f"💾 Check your data here: https://console.apify.com/storage/datasets/{run.default_dataset_id}")
for item in client.dataset(run.default_dataset_id).iterate_items():
    print(item)

## CLI example

```bash
echo '{
  "searchQueries": [
    "Softwareentwickler"
  ],
  "location": "Berlin",
  "datePosted": "any",
  "maxItems": 30
}' |
apify call mellora/indeed-germany-job-listings-scraper --silent --output-dataset

```

## MCP server setup

```json
{
    "mcpServers": {
        "apify": {
            "type": "http",
            "url": "https://mcp.apify.com/?tools=fetch-actor-details,mellora/indeed-germany-job-listings-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).
