## 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.

# README

## Stepstone.de Job Scraper — Keyword & Location Search + Salary

Extract job listings from stepstone.de: title, company, location, salary, posted date, and URL.
One clean row per job posting.

### Input

| Field | Type | Description |
|---|---|---|
| keyword | string (required) | Search keyword, e.g. `marketing` |
| location | string | Optional city or region filter |
| max\_pages | integer | Listing pages to crawl — 25 jobs/page (default 5 ≈ 125 jobs, max 50 ≈ 1,250 jobs) |

Example input:

```json
{"keyword": "marketing", "max_pages": 5}
```

### Output

Example result:

```json
[
  {
    "title": "Marketing Assistant (m/w/d)",
    "company": "Busch Vacuum Solutions",
    "location": "Maulburg bei Lörrach · Teilweise Home-Office",
    "salary": null,
    "posted": "vor 1 Tag",
    "url": "https://www.stepstone.de/stellenangebote--Marketing-Assistant-m-w-d-Maulburg-bei-Loerrach-Busch-Vacuum-Solutions--14399826-inline.html"
  },
  {

    "company": "Richard Wolf GmbH",
    "location": "Knittlingen · Teilweise Home-Office",

  },
  {
    "title": "Marketingreferent (m/w/d)",
    "company": "Paul H. Kübler Bekleidungswerk GmbH & Co. KG",
    "location": "Plüderhausen",
    "salary": null,
    "posted": "vor 1 Tag",
    "url": "https://www.stepstone.de/stellenangebote--Marketingreferent-m-w-d-Pluederhausen-Paul-H-Kuebler-Bekleidungswerk-GmbH-Co-KG--14398311-inline.html"
  }
]
```

### How much data per run?

A default run (5 pages) yields **~125 job listings**; the maximum 50 pages can
return **~1,250** per query. For broader coverage, fan out across keywords and
locations — each run is fast and you pay only per result.

For recruiting pipelines, market mapping, salary benchmarks, and job-board
monitoring, schedule runs daily or weekly — Stepstone postings churn fast, and
the `posted` date makes delta-tracking trivial.

### Pricing

Pay-per-result: $1.00 per 1,000 job listings ($0.70/1k on Apify paid plans) (plus a small actor-start fee).

## `location` (type: `string`):

Optional city or region filter.

## `max_pages` (type: `integer`):

## Actor input object example

```json
{
  "max_pages": 5,
  "proxyConfiguration": {
    "useApifyProxy": true,
    "apifyProxyGroups": [
      "RESIDENTIAL"

# 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 = {
    "proxyConfiguration": {
        "useApifyProxy": true,
        "apifyProxyGroups": [
            "RESIDENTIAL"
        ],
        "apifyProxyCountry": "DE"
    }
};

// Run the Actor and wait for it to finish
const run = await client.actor("mind_momentum/stepstone-jobs").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 = { "proxyConfiguration": {
        "useApifyProxy": True,
        "apifyProxyGroups": ["RESIDENTIAL"],
        "apifyProxyCountry": "DE",
    } }

# Run the Actor and wait for it to finish
run = client.actor("mind_momentum/stepstone-jobs").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 '{
  "proxyConfiguration": {
    "useApifyProxy": true,
    "apifyProxyGroups": [
      "RESIDENTIAL"
    ],
    "apifyProxyCountry": "DE"
  }
}' |
apify call mind_momentum/stepstone-jobs --silent --output-dataset

```

## MCP server setup

```json
{
    "mcpServers": {
        "apify": {
            "type": "http",
            "url": "https://mcp.apify.com/?tools=fetch-actor-details,mind_momentum/stepstone-jobs"
        }
    }
}

```

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).
