## What's an Apify Actor?

Actors are a software tools running on the Apify platform, for all kinds of web data extraction and automation use cases.
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.md):

```bash
npm install apify-client
```

In Python projects, use official [Python client library](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/python.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/platform/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

## 🎯 Lever Jobs Scraper — Open API Postings

Scrape Lever-hosted job boards in bulk via Lever's official open postings API. Feed in a list of company slugs (the path segment in `jobs.lever.co/{slug}`), get back every live posting with title, team, department, location, plain-text and HTML descriptions, and apply URL.

Built for **recruiters and sourcing tools** (track who's hiring senior roles), **ATS competitive analysts** (Lever vs. Greenhouse vs. Ashby adoption tracking), **sales/BD teams** (prospect into companies actively scaling teams), and **job aggregators / talent platforms** that need clean structured postings.

### What you get per posting

- `id`, `company_slug` — Lever's posting ID + the slug you fed in
- `title` — job title
- `team`, `department`, `commitment` — categorical breakdown (e.g. Engineering, Backend, Full-Time)
- `location`, `all_locations`, `country`, `workplace_type` — onsite / remote / hybrid + geographic data
- `hosted_url` — canonical Lever-hosted job page
- `apply_url` — direct apply link
- `created_at`, `updated_at` — Unix-ms timestamps
- `tags` — any tags Lever exposes
- `description_html`, `description_plain` — main body in both formats
- `opening_html`, `opening_plain` — intro paragraph (often pitch / mission)
- `description_body_html`, `description_body_plain` — main responsibilities + qualifications
- `lists` — Lever's structured lists (Responsibilities, Qualifications, etc.)
- `additional_html`, `additional_plain` — equal-opportunity, comp band, perks
- `source` — `"lever.co"`

### Use cases

1. **Recruiter sourcing** — pull every senior IC role at 75 Lever-hosted Series B/C companies and search descriptions for tech-stack keywords.
2. **ATS market share research** — count active Lever postings per company per quarter to track Lever vs. Greenhouse adoption.
3. **Sales prospecting** — companies that just added a "Head of Engineering" or "VP Sales" role are prime ICP for many B2B tools.
4. **Job aggregator backfill** — feed your remote-jobs board with structured Lever data refreshed nightly.
5. **Comp-band benchmarking** — many Lever postings publish salary ranges in the description; extract them downstream.
6. **Investor / portfolio monitoring** — track headcount growth at portfolio cos. via posting cadence.

### Quick start

Input:

```json
{
  "companies": ["clari", "figma", "box"],
  "maxJobs": 200,
  "includeContent": true
}
````

{
  "id": "abc123-...-def",
  "company_slug": "clari",
  "title": "Senior Backend Engineer, Platform",
  "team": "Engineering",

  "created_at": 1738473600000,
  "updated_at": 1745030400000,
  "description_plain": "Clari is hiring...",
  "source": "lever.co"
}
```

### Run via Python (apify-client)

```python
from apify_client import ApifyClient

client = ApifyClient("YOUR_APIFY_TOKEN")
run = client.actor("nexgendata/lever-jobs-scraper").call(
    run_input={
        "companies": ["clari", "figma", "box"],
        "maxJobs": 500,
        "includeContent": True,
    }
)
for item in client.dataset(run["defaultDatasetId"]).iterate_items():
    print(item["title"], "-", item["company_slug"], "-", item["location"])
```

### Run via cURL

```bash
curl -X POST "https://api.apify.com/v2/acts/nexgendata~lever-jobs-scraper/run-sync-get-dataset-items?token=YOUR_TOKEN" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{"companies":["clari","figma"],"maxJobs":50}'
```

### Integrations

- **Zapier** — fire on each new posting, push into Airtable / Notion / Slack DM.
- **Make.com** — pipe new postings into HubSpot or Salesforce as new prospect signals.
- **n8n** — schedule + dedupe + push into Postgres for trend analysis.

### Pricing

Pay-per-event (PPE):

- **Actor start:** $0.00005 (negligible)
- **Per posting:** **$0.05**

Cost calculator:

| Postings returned | Cost |
| --- | --- |
| 10 (smoke test) | $0.50 |
| 100 | $5.00 |
| 1,000 | $50.00 |
| 5,000 (multi-company sweep) | $250.00 |

You only pay for postings actually pushed to your dataset — failed companies don't get charged.

### FAQ

**Q: Where do I find the Lever slug?**
A: Visit the company's careers page. If the URL is `jobs.lever.co/{slug}` (or it redirects to one), `{slug}` is what you want.

**Q: What about Greenhouse / Ashby / Workday?**
A: Different ATS, different actors. See Related Actors below.

**Q: Do I need a Lever API key?**
A: No. The public postings API at `api.lever.co/v0/postings/{slug}?mode=json` requires no auth.

**Q: How fresh is the data?**
A: Real-time. Postings show up within minutes of the company adding them in Lever.

**Q: What if a company moved off Lever?**
A: You'll get an empty array (logged) and zero charges for that company. The actor moves on.

**Q: Can I get just the metadata?**
A: Yes — set `includeContent: false`. Cuts row size by 80–95%.

## `companies` (type: `array`):

List of Lever-hosted company slugs. The slug is the path segment in `https://jobs.lever.co/{slug}` — e.g. `clari`, `figma`, `box`, `palantir`. Each company yields all of its currently live postings.

Maximum total number of postings to return across all companies (1–5000).

## `includeContent` (type: `boolean`):

If checked, includes the HTML and plain-text body of each posting (description, opening, lists, additional). Uncheck for slim metadata-only output.
