## 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

## UK JobPosting Schema Scraper

Extract JobPosting structured data from public UK job pages and sitemaps for hiring-market research, job aggregation, recruiting intelligence, and labour-market monitoring.

This actor is intentionally generic: instead of cloning one protected job board, it reads public job detail pages that expose Schema.org JobPosting JSON-LD or simple fallback job metadata. That makes it useful across UK job sites, employer career pages, public-sector job pages, and niche boards.

### What You Can Extract

- Job title and description
- Hiring organisation
- Location and employment type
- Date posted and valid-through date
- Salary text when available
- Direct-apply flag and raw JobPosting schema
- Diagnostic rows when schema is missing

### Output

Every inspected page is written to the default Apify dataset. Extracted rows typically include `url`, `title`, `description`, `hiring_organization`, `employment_type`, `job_location`, `date_posted`, `valid_through`, `salary_text`, `direct_apply`, `raw_jobposting`, and diagnostic fields for pages where markup is missing. Export the dataset to CSV/JSON or connect it to Google Sheets, warehouses, dashboards, or AI agents.

### Common Use Cases

- Build UK job-market datasets from public career pages
- Monitor competitor hiring by company or region
- Aggregate public-sector and niche job listings
- Feed recruiting intelligence into dashboards or AI agents
- Audit whether job pages expose valid JobPosting markup

### SEO Keywords

UK jobs scraper, JobPosting schema scraper, UK job board scraper, public job listing scraper UK, hiring intelligence scraper, job data extractor, recruitment market data UK.

### Example Input

```json
{
  "startUrls": [{ "url": "https://www.jobs.nhs.uk/candidate/jobadvert/C9282-26-0357" }],
  "includeNoSchemaRows": true,
  "maxPages": 25
}
```

### Pricing Recommendation

Launch around $3 per 1,000 inspected pages or $4 per 1,000 extracted jobs. This undercuts heavy job-board scrapers while targeting users who need cleaner public-page extraction.

### Responsible Use

Use this actor for public pages and public sitemaps. Do not submit private candidate data, logged-in URLs, or pages where collection would violate site terms. Respect robots guidance, rate limits, and applicable employment-data/privacy laws.

### Automation Ideas

Schedule runs for employer career pages, public-sector jobs, and niche UK boards. AI agents can classify roles by function, detect salary visibility, summarize hiring changes, flag pages missing JobPosting schema, and route matching roles into recruiting or labour-market dashboards.

# 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 = {
    "startUrls": [
        {
            "url": "https://www.jobs.nhs.uk/candidate/jobadvert/C9282-26-0357"
        }
    ]
};

// Run the Actor and wait for it to finish
const run = await client.actor("neuton/uk-jobposting-schema-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,neuton/uk-jobposting-schema-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).
