## 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`).

# Actor input Schema

## `searchKeywords` (type: `array`):

One Foundit job search per line: job title, skill or company, e.g. "python developer", "data analyst", "sales manager". Leave empty and give a location to list all jobs there.

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

City or region, e.g. "Bengaluru", "Mumbai", "Delhi NCR", "Singapore". Several cities separated by commas are searched together, the way Foundit's own location filter does it (e.g. "Mumbai, Pune"). Empty = whole country.

## `country` (type: `string`):

Which Foundit site to search. Salaries are in that site's currency (INR, SGD, MYR, IDR, HKD, PHP). Start URLs keep their own site.

## `sortBy` (type: `string`):

Foundit's sort order: relevance (sort=1) or freshness, newest first (sort=2).

## `postedWithinDays` (type: `string`):

Foundit's Job Freshness filter (server-side).

## `experienceMinYears` (type: `integer`):

Foundit's experience filter: jobs whose experience range overlaps min-max years, e.g. 3. 0 together with max 0 = off.

## `experienceMaxYears` (type: `integer`):

Upper end of the experience filter, e.g. 5. 0 = no upper limit (50 years) when a minimum is set.

## `salaryMin` (type: `integer`):

Foundit's salary filter, yearly amount in the site's currency, e.g. 500000 (= 5 Lakhs INR). Jobs without a stated salary are left out by Foundit when this filter is on. 0 = off.

## `salaryMax` (type: `integer`):

Upper end of the salary filter, e.g. 1000000 (= 10 Lakhs INR). 0 = no upper limit.

## `jobType` (type: `array`):

Foundit's job type filter (server-side). Several values are sent together, as on Foundit.

## `employmentType` (type: `string`):

Keeps only jobs with this employment type. Foundit has no server-side filter for it, so it is applied to the results here (more pages may be read to fill Max jobs).

## `excludeSyndicated` (type: `boolean`):

Drops jobs Foundit copied from other boards and career sites (jobClassification SYNDICATE...). Applied to the results here.

## `includeDetails` (type: `boolean`):

Opens each job's detail data for the full description (text + HTML), country, coordinates, view count and the complete job type and skill lists. One extra request per job.

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

Foundit search result URLs (filters in the URL are kept, e.g. https://www.foundit.in/srp/results?query=python%20developer\&locations=Bengaluru\&experienceRanges=3~5), SEO search URLs (https://www.foundit.in/search/python-developer-jobs-in-bengaluru) or single job URLs (https://www.foundit.in/job/<title>-<company>-<city>-<id>). Any Foundit country site.

## `monitorMode` (type: `boolean`):

Remembers the job IDs of every search in a named key-value store (foundit-jobs-monitor) and outputs only jobs not seen in earlier runs of the same search. Schedule the Actor daily to get new postings only.

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

Stop after this many jobs in total (all searches together). The scraper follows Foundit's result pages (up to 100 jobs per page) until this number or the last page.

## `maxPages` (type: `integer`):

Stop each search after this many result pages. 0 = no page limit.

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

Foundit answered every logged-out request without a challenge in tests; an Indian residential proxy is the default for steady runs on the Apify platform.

# 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 = {
    "searchKeywords": [

};

// Run the Actor and wait for it to finish
const run = await client.actor("neuro-scraper/foundit-jobs-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);

## MCP server setup

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

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).
