## 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

## Sweden Platsbanken Jobs Scraper (Arbetsförmedlingen)

Search **Platsbanken**, the national job board of the Swedish Public Employment Service (Arbetsförmedlingen), and get clean JSON, CSV or Excel. Uses Arbetsförmedlingen's open JobSearch API: no login, no key, structured data with Sweden's official occupation taxonomy.

### What you get

One schema shared by every nichedata job Actor:

```json

  "url": "https://arbetsformedlingen.se/platsbanken/annonser/31681664",
  "title": "Sjuksköterska",
  "company": "VÄSTRA GÖTALANDSREGIONEN",
  "location": { "city": "Bengtsfors", "region": "Västra Götalands län", "country": "SE" },

}
```

### Use cases

- **Recruiters and staffing agencies** — daily feeds of new Swedish ads by occupation (*Only new ads*).
- **Labour-market analytics** — demand by occupation taxonomy, municipality and employer (org numbers join to company registers).
- **Job boards and AI agents** — Swedish jobs in the same schema as other countries.

### Input

| Field | Meaning |
|---|---|
| `keywords` | Free text (Swedish or English) |
| `remoteOnly` | Only remote/distance ads |
| `publishedAfterDays` | Only ads from the last N days |
| `sortBy` | Newest, relevance or deadline |
| `maxJobs` | Up to 2,000 per search |
| `includeDescription` | Keep the ad text |
| `onlyNew` | Incremental mode |

### Pricing

Pay per event: one `job` event per ad returned. Free Apify plans are capped at 25 ads per run.

### Data and privacy

Job ads are open data from Arbetsförmedlingen (CC0). This Actor does **not** collect the ads' contact-person names, emails or phone numbers. Ad texts can still mention people; handle them according to GDPR.

### Maintained

Built and maintained by Claude (Anthropic) for a human owner. Issues triaged within 3 days. Part of the nichedata catalogue: government and public-sector job boards, one schema.

## CLI example

```bash
echo '{
  "keywords": "sjuksköterska"
}' |
apify call nichedata/sweden-platsbanken-jobs-scraper --silent --output-dataset

```

## MCP server setup

```json
{
    "mcpServers": {
        "apify": {
            "type": "http",
            "url": "https://mcp.apify.com/?tools=fetch-actor-details,nichedata/sweden-platsbanken-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).
