## 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

## SimplyHired Job Scraper

Collects job postings from the SimplyHired job board. Search by keyword and location — or by the word "Remote" — and get one flat record per posting with title, company, location, salary, job type, remote attributes, posting date, company rating and the skills and benefits SimplyHired extracted from the ad. An optional detail mode also visits each posting to add the full description text, city, state, geo coordinates, qualifications and employer logo.

### Input

| Field | Default | Description |
| --- | --- | --- |
| `query` | `software engineer` | Job title, skill or company name to search for. |
| `location` | *(empty)* | `City, ST` (e.g. `San Francisco, CA`), a state, a ZIP code, or `Remote`. Empty searches nationwide. |
| `posted_within_days` | `0` | Only return postings published within this many days (0–30). `0` means no date limit. |
| `max_results` | `20` | Maximum postings to return (1–1000, 20 per page). |
| `include_description` | `false` | Also fetch each posting's page for the full description, geo coordinates, qualifications and employer logo (one extra request per job). |
| `proxyConfiguration` | Optional | Enable a US-based proxy for the most reliable results. |

### Output

Each result is one job posting:

```json
{
    "job_id": "oneHuHHA1ryhTo_ylteudubsi1UOpoNwtaE3rXH_SdrJatUJRfeblA",
    "title": "Entry-Level Software Engineer",
    "company": "Pariveda",
    "location": "San Francisco, CA",
    "salary": "$79,800 - $91,800 a year",
    "job_types": "Full-time",
    "remote_attributes": "Hybrid work",
    "posted_date": "2026-08-04",
    "job_url": "https://www.simplyhired.com/job/oneHuHHA1ryhTo_ylteudubsi1UOpoNwt",
    "company_url": "https://www.simplyhired.com/browse-jobs/companies/Pariveda-1",
    "company_rating": 4,
    "sponsored": false,
    "snippet": "Currently pursuing a bachelor's or master's degree in Management Information Systems...",
    "requirements": ["Azure", "Computer Science", "Java", "SQL", "AWS", "Python"],

    "description": "Pariveda is a North American-based, employee-owned professional services firm...",
    "raw": { ... }
}
```

With `include_description` enabled, records additionally carry `city`, `state`, `latitude`, `longitude`, `work_settings`, `qualifications`, `published_date`, `company_logo_url` and `expired`.

### Notes

- Runs with empty input (defaults to a nationwide search for software engineer roles).
- Enable a US-based proxy for the most reliable results.
- Intended for research and recruiting use; please respect SimplyHired's terms of service.

# Actor input Schema

## `query` (type: `string`):

What to search for: a job title, skill or company name (e.g. 'software engineer', 'registered nurse', 'python developer').

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

Where to search. Accepts 'City, ST' (e.g. 'San Francisco, CA'), a state name, a ZIP code, or the word 'Remote'. Leave empty to search nationwide.

## `posted_within_days` (type: `integer`):

Only return postings published within this many days. Set to 0 for no date limit.

## `max_results` (type: `integer`):

Maximum number of job postings to return. Results are paged 20 per page.

## `include_description` (type: `boolean`):

When enabled, each posting's own page is also fetched and the record is enriched with the full description text, city, state, geo coordinates, work settings, qualifications and employer logo. Slower — one extra request per job.

## `proxyConfiguration` (type: `object`):

Proxy settings for the run. Enable a US-based proxy for the most reliable results, especially for sites that limit non-US or datacenter traffic. Optional — leave off to run directly.

## Actor input object example

```json
{
  "query": "software engineer",
  "location": "San Francisco, CA",
  "posted_within_days": 0,
  "max_results": 20,
  "include_description": false,
  "proxyConfiguration": {
    "useApifyProxy": true
  }
}
```

# 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 = {
    "query": "software engineer",
    "location": "San Francisco, CA",
    "posted_within_days": 0,
    "max_results": 20,
    "include_description": false,
    "proxyConfiguration": {
        "useApifyProxy": true
    }
};

// Run the Actor and wait for it to finish
const run = await client.actor("moving_beacon-owner1/my-actor-22").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

    "include_description": False,
    "proxyConfiguration": { "useApifyProxy": True },
}

# Run the Actor and wait for it to finish
run = client.actor("moving_beacon-owner1/my-actor-22").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():

## CLI example

```bash
echo '{
  "query": "software engineer",
  "location": "San Francisco, CA",
  "posted_within_days": 0,
  "max_results": 20,
  "include_description": false,
  "proxyConfiguration": {
    "useApifyProxy": true
  }
}' |
apify call moving_beacon-owner1/my-actor-22 --silent --output-dataset

```

## MCP server setup

```json
{
    "mcpServers": {
        "apify": {
            "type": "http",
            "url": "https://mcp.apify.com/?tools=fetch-actor-details,moving_beacon-owner1/my-actor-22"
        }
    }
}
```

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).
