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). # README ## s1jobs.com Scraper **Turn s1jobs.com into structured Scottish vacancy data — across every sector.** Scrape every job from any s1jobs listing URL — title, salary band, employer (with logo, accreditations, URN), location with real lat/long coordinates, posted/closing dates, full description, structured skills, contract type, and the actual recruiter apply URL or apply email — pulled straight from s1jobs' public JSON API. JSON or CSV out, no compute charge per run, just per result. #### How it works ![How s1jobs Scraper works](https://raw.githubusercontent.com/muhamed-didovic/muhamed-didovic.github.io/main/assets/how-it-works-s1jobs.png) #### ✨ Why use this scraper? Tracking the Scottish job market across every sector — engineering, healthcare, hospitality, public sector? Building salary benchmarks across regions? Need a clean dataset of Scottish vacancies without scrolling s1jobs manually? - 🎯 **Two starting points.** Paste an s1jobs listing URL (`/jobs/{location}/`, `/jobs/{sector}/{location}/`) or a direct vacancy URL — both classified automatically. - ⚡ **Public JSON API as the data source.** Each vacancy comes from `/api/job/{id}` — far richer than HTML scraping (structured skills, accreditations, sponsorship flags, apply method, employer URN, premier vs standard advert type). - 📍 **Real coordinates, not just postcodes.** Optional one-fetch-per-vacancy pull of lat/lng from the page's JSON-LD geo block. - 📧 **Apply URL or email captured.** No JS evaluation, no click-through resolver — `/api/job/{id}` returns the recruiter destination directly (Aplitrak, PeopleHR, Workday, JobTrain, employer's own ATS, etc.) or the recruiter's email. - 🇬🇧 **All sectors, all regions of Scotland.** s1jobs is the largest Scottish-only job board — engineering, healthcare, charity, hospitality, public sector, retail. - 📤 **Clean exports.** One row per vacancy with company enrichment merged in. JSON + CSV exported automatically. #### 🎯 Use cases | Team | What they build | |------|-----------------| | **Recruitment / agencies** | Daily new-vacancy feeds across Scotland, sliced by sector or region | | **Compensation & benefits** | Salary benchmarks by sector, region, and contract type for Scotland | | **Talent acquisition** | Competitive intelligence on what other Scottish employers are paying | | **Researchers / journalists** | Scottish labour-market datasets across all sectors | | **Workforce strategy** | Skills-demand mapping using the structured `skills[]` and `coreSkills[]` arrays | | **ATS aggregators** | Real recruiter apply URLs (Aplitrak, Workday, PeopleHR, etc.) for redirect-and-track use cases | #### 📥 Supported inputs You can pass two kinds of URL in `startUrls`. Each URL is classified automatically. | URL pattern | Behaviour | |---|---| | `https://www.s1jobs.com/jobs/{location}/` | **Listing** by location (e.g. `/jobs/glasgow/`) | | `https://www.s1jobs.com/jobs/{sector}/{location}/` | **Listing** by sector + location (e.g. `/jobs/accountancy/glasgow/`) | | `https://www.s1jobs.com/jobs/{location}/{contract}/` | **Listing** by location + contract type (e.g. `/jobs/glasgow/permanent/`) | | `https://www.s1jobs.com/job/{slug}-{numeric-id}` | **Vacancy detail** — fetched via `/api/job/{id}` JSON | Easiest workflow: apply your filters on s1jobs.com in the browser, copy the URL out of the address bar, paste into `startUrls`. **Not supported:** - Company profile URLs as a starting point (they're fetched automatically as enrichment when org enrichment is on) - Hosts outside `s1jobs.com` / `www.s1jobs.com` #### ⚠️ Proxy requirement s1jobs.com IP-blocks many cloud / datacenter / generic proxies. **You'll want a UK residential proxy.** The actor defaults to Apify Residential pinned to `country: GB`; if you see consistent connection timeouts, you may need to bring your own pool (Evomi, BrightData, Smartproxy, etc. — any UK residential exit node works). #### 🔄 How it works 1. **Classify each `startUrl`** as a listing URL or a single vacancy URL. 2. **Walk listing pagination** (`?page=2`, `?page=3`, …) until `
