## 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

## MyJobMag Scraper 🚀

**MyJobMag Scraper** is a high-performance Apify Actor designed to crawl regional MyJobMag job boards and extract comprehensive job listings and detailed vacancy information.

By leveraging `curl_cffi` with Chrome impersonation, the scraper easily navigates anti-bot protections, while `BeautifulSoup` ensures fast and precise HTML parsing.

***

### 🌟 Features

- **Multi-Regional Support:** Seamlessly scrape across multiple country-specific MyJobMag domains.
- **Smart Search Routing:** Automatically switches between targeted search mode (when filters are provided) and latest listings mode.
- **Advanced Filtering:** Refine results using keywords, locations, job fields, and education levels.
- **Deep Data Extraction:** Pulls granular data, including company branding, employment types, salary ranges, and application links.
- **Granular Controls:** Optimize your budget and runtime by enforcing strict `maxPages` and `maxResults` limits.
- **Proxy Integration:** Fully compatible with Apify Proxy configurations to maintain high anonymity.

***

### 🌍 Supported Countries

The actor dynamically routes requests based on the selected country ISO code:

| Code | Region | Base URL |
| --- | --- | --- |
| **NG** | Nigeria | `[https://www.myjobmag.com](https://www.myjobmag.com)` |
| **GH** | Ghana | `[https://www.myjobmagghana.com](https://www.myjobmagghana.com)` |
| **KE** | Kenya | `[https://www.myjobmag.co.ke](https://www.myjobmag.co.ke)` |
| **ZA** | South Africa | `[https://www.myjobmag.co.za](https://www.myjobmag.co.za)` |
| **UK** | United Kingdom | `[https://www.myjobmag.co.uk](https://www.myjobmag.co.uk)` |

***

### 📥 Input Settings

The actor accepts a JSON object with the following configuration properties:

| Field | Type | Required | Default | Description |
| --- | --- | --- | --- | --- |
| `country` | `string` | **Yes** | `"NG"` | Supported values: `NG`, `GH`, `KE`, `ZA`, `UK`. |
| `keyword` | `string` | No | `""` | Search keyword for job titles or skills. |
| `location` | `string` | No | `""` | Geographic location filter (e.g., `"Lagos"`). |
| `field` | `string` | No | `""` | Job field or professional category. |
| `education` | `string` | No | `""` | Minimum education requirement filter. |
| `maxPages` | `integer` | **Yes** | `5` | Maximum number of listing pages to pagination through (Range: `1` - `100`). |
| `maxResults` | `integer` | No | `100` | Maximum number of dataset items to save before stopping early. |
| `proxyConfiguration` | `object` | No | `{"useApifyProxy": true}` | Apify proxy settings to manage IP rotation. |

***

### 📤 Output Structure

The scraper outputs structured data directly to your Apify Dataset. Below are the key fields extracted from each vacancy:

- **Job Meta:** `title`, `listingTitle`, `pageHeader`, `summary`
- **Company Details:** `companyName`, `brandLogo` (URL)
- **Job Requirements:** `employmentType`, `educationRequired`, `experienceRequired`
- **Location & Category:** `location`, `jobField`, `salaryRange`
- **Source & Application:** `sourceUrl`, `applicationMethod` (links or instructions), `vacancyIndex`
- **Context:** `country`

***

### 💡 How It Works & Developer Notes

> 📑 **Multi-Vacancy Pages:** Some job detail pages on MyJobMag bundle multiple job openings together. When this happens, the actor splits them into separate records and tracks them using the `vacancyIndex` field.

- **Execution Logic:** If any filter (`keyword`, `location`, `field`, or `education`) is provided, the scraper targets the MyJobMag search endpoint. If all are left blank, it defaults to capturing the fresher, latest job listings.
- **Early Exit:** The actor respects both page limits and results limits. Whichever threshold is hit first will safely terminate the run.
- **Fail-safes:** The `country` input is fully normalized. Passing an unsupported country code will safely fallback to `NG`.
