## 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.

## GulfTalent Scraper

Scrape job listings from **GulfTalent.com** — the Middle East's leading professional job site. Paste any country or category listing URL and get clean, structured rows: job title, company, location, salary, industry, role, employment type and the full description. One complete row per job. No browser.

![How it works](https://raw.githubusercontent.com/muhamed-didovic/muhamed-didovic.github.io/main/assets/how-it-works-gulftalent.png)

### Why use this scraper

- **Complete rows, not stubs** — every job's detail page is fetched and merged in, so each row already has company, location, salary, industry, role, employment type and the full description.
- **Salary when shown** — GulfTalent publishes salary ranges (e.g. `15000 – 20000 AED`) on many postings; you get them verbatim.
- **All Gulf markets** — UAE, Saudi Arabia, Qatar, Kuwait, Bahrain, Oman, Egypt and more, from any country listing.
- **Clean, flat output** — one row per job; nested fields flattened for CSV by default.
- **Pure HTTP, no browser** — fast and cheap; no Playwright, no headless Chrome.
- **Optional employer emails** — turn on `enrichEmails` to append a best-effort company contact email.

### What it does

Give it one or more GulfTalent **listing** URLs. It paginates through the results, fetches each job's detail page, and emits one complete dataset row per job with all the fields below — up to `Maximum items`.

### Supported inputs

| Input | Example |
|---|---|
| UAE jobs | `gulftalent.com/uae/jobs` |
| Saudi jobs | `gulftalent.com/saudi-arabia/jobs` |
| Qatar jobs | `gulftalent.com/qatar/jobs` |
| All jobs / filtered | run any search on gulftalent.com, copy the URL from the address bar |

### Use cases

- **Gulf labour-market & salary research** across countries, industries and roles.
- **Lead generation** — company names + (with `enrichEmails`) employer contact emails.
- **Recruitment & sourcing** — track who's hiring, for what role, at what salary.
- **Aggregation & job boards** — pull fresh Middle East postings into your own product.

### How it works

1. You paste GulfTalent listing URLs.
2. The actor paginates the results and collects each job's detail URL.
3. It fetches every job's detail page, normalises it into one flat row, and pushes it to the dataset.

### Input configuration

| Field | Type | Description |
|---|---|---|
| `startUrls` | array | GulfTalent **listing** URLs (auto-paginated). |
| `maxItems` | integer | Hard cap on jobs collected. Default 10000. |
| `flatten` | boolean | Flatten nested objects into CSV columns (default on). |
| `enrichEmails` | boolean | Opt-in employer contact-email enrichment (billed per email found). |
| `maxConcurrency` | integer | Parallel detail fetches. Default 8. |
| `proxy` | object | Proxy config. Defaults to Apify proxy (no anti-bot; residential optional for large runs). |

### Output sample

```json
{
  "portal": "gulftalent",
  "jobId": "601722",
  "url": "https://www.gulftalent.com/uae/jobs/field-services-engineer-601722",
  "country": "uae",
  "jobTitle": "Field Services Engineer",
  "company": "Advanced Digital Gaming Technology (ADGT)",
  "location": "Abu Dhabi, UAE",
  "salary": "16000 - 20500 AED",
  "companyIndustry": "IT, Software & Internet Services",
  "jobRole": "IT - Software & Web Development",
  "employmentType": "Full Time",
  "postedDate": "25 Jun 2026",
  "description": "…full job description…"
}
````

### Key output fields

| Field | Description |
|---|---|
| `jobId` / `url` / `country` | GulfTalent job id, detail URL, country |
| `jobTitle` | job title |
| `company` / `companyLogoUrl` | employer + logo |
| `location` | city, country |
| `salary` | salary range (when shown) |
| `companyIndustry` / `companyType` | industry + company type |
| `jobRole` / `employmentType` / `careerLevel` | role/function, full-time/contract, seniority |
| `yearsOfExperience` / `numberOfVacancies` | experience + openings (when shown) |
| `postedDate` | when the job was posted |
| `easyApply` | quick-apply available |
| `description` | full job description |
| `details` | any extra labelled fields (nationality, gender, etc.) |

### FAQ

**Which listings work?** Any GulfTalent `/jobs` listing — by country (`/uae/jobs`), all jobs (`/jobs`), or any on-site filtered search.

**Do I get the salary?** Yes, when the employer publishes it (`salary`). Some postings show `Not Specified`.

**Is the full description included?** Yes — every row includes the complete job description from the detail page (no toggle needed).

**Do I need a proxy?** No — GulfTalent has no anti-bot. The Apify default proxy is fine; residential is optional for very large runs.

### Support

Found an issue or want a field added? Open an issue on the actor's Issues tab and we'll take a look.

### Additional services

Need employer contact emails? Turn on `enrichEmails` to append a best-effort contact email + website per company (billed only when an email is found).

# Actor input Schema

## `startUrls` (type: `array`):

Full GulfTalent.com /jobs listing URLs. Each is paginated automatically until `Maximum items` is reached.

## `flatten` (type: `boolean`):

When enabled (default), nested objects (e.g. `details`) are flattened into CSV-friendly columns. Disable to keep the full nested JSON.

## `enrichEmails` (type: `boolean`):

If enabled, tries to find a contact email for each employer by discovering the company's website (Clearbit) and reading its contact/about pages. Adds contactEmail + contactWebsite columns. Best-effort, billed per email found; never charged for misses.

## `maxItems` (type: `integer`):

Hard cap on the number of jobs collected. Each listing page returns ~25 jobs and paginates automatically; every job includes its detail page. Use this cap to control billing.

## `maxConcurrency` (type: `integer`):

Maximum number of detail pages fetched in parallel. 6-12 is the sweet spot.

## `maxRequestRetries` (type: `integer`):

Number of retries before a failed request is given up.

## `proxy` (type: `object`):

GulfTalent serves data cleanly without anti-bot; the Apify default proxy is fine. Residential is optional for very large runs.
