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. In JavaScript/TypeScript projects, use official [JavaScript/TypeScript client](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/js/docs.md): ```bash npm install apify-client ``` In Python projects, use official [Python client library](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/python/docs.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/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 ## O*NET Occupations Scraper Searches O*NET OnLine (U.S. Dept. of Labor occupation database) by keyword and optionally enriches each occupation with its summary-page details. ### Input example ```json { "keywords": ["software", "data"], "includeDetails": true, "maxItems": 50 } ```` ### Output record `code` (O\*NET-SOC, e.g. `15-1252.00`), `title`, `url`, `searchKeyword`, plus with details enabled: `description`, `sampleJobTitles`, `brightOutlook`. ### Notes - O\*NET is public U.S. government data — no proxy usually needed and the site is scraper-friendly. Please keep concurrency polite anyway. - Occupation codes are deduplicated across keywords. # Actor input Schema ## `keywords` (type: `array`): One O\*NET quick-search is run per keyword. ## `includeDetails` (type: `boolean`): Visit each occupation's summary page for description, sample job titles and bright-outlook flag (one extra request per occupation). ## `maxItems` (type: `integer`): Stop after this many records have been pushed to the dataset. ## `proxyConfiguration` (type: `object`): Apify proxy settings. Use RESIDENTIAL if the site blocks datacenter IPs. ## Actor input object example ```json { "keywords": [ "software", "nurse" ], "includeDetails": false, "maxItems": 100, "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 '' with your token const client = new ApifyClient({ token: '', }); // Prepare Actor input const input = { "keywords": [ "software", "nurse" ], "maxItems": 100, "proxyConfiguration": { "useApifyProxy": true } }; // Run the Actor and wait for it to finish const run = await client.actor("moving_beacon-owner1/o-net-occupations-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); }); // 📚 Want to learn more 📖?
