## 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.

# README

## EURES Job Scraper — EU Job Mobility Portal

Fetch pan-European vacancies from EURES, the EU's official job mobility portal, via its public jv-search REST API.

### What EURES jobs data does this scraper extract?

Each result is one flat JSON record per job posting:

| Field | Meaning |
|---|---|
| `id` | Stable source-side identifier |
| `title` | Job title as posted |
| `company` | Hiring company / organisation (`null` if EURES doesn't disclose one) |
| `country` | ISO country code(s) the vacancy is located in (e.g. `"DE"`, or `"DE, FR"` for multi-country postings). EURES exposes country + NUTS-region codes, not free-text city names, so this is code data, not a street address |
| `location` | Deprecated alias of `country` — identical value, kept for backward compatibility. New integrations should read `country` |
| `url` | Direct link to the posting on the EURES portal |
| `postedAt` | Posting date (`YYYY-MM-DD`), or `null` if EURES didn't supply a valid creation date |
| `snippet` | Short plain-text description excerpt (HTML stripped) |
| `source` | Always `"eures"` |

Note: EURES does not expose salary data through this API, so no `salary` field is emitted.

### How to scrape EURES jobs with this Actor

1. Click **Try for free** / **Run** — no login to the target site, no cookies, no proxies to configure.
2. Adjust the input (keyword, filters, `maxItems`) or keep the defaults.
3. Run it and export the dataset as JSON, CSV or Excel, or read it over the [API](https://docs.apify.com/api/v2).

Run it from your own code:

```python
from apify_client import ApifyClient

client = ApifyClient("<YOUR_APIFY_TOKEN>")
run = client.actor("nomad-jobs/eures-scraper").call(run_input={"maxItems": 50})
for item in client.dataset(run["defaultDatasetId"]).iterate_items():
    print(item["title"], "—", item["company"], item["url"])
````

Or a single HTTP call that runs the Actor and returns items in one response:

```bash
curl -X POST \
  "https://api.apify.com/v2/acts/nomad-jobs~eures-scraper/run-sync-get-dataset-items?token=<YOUR_APIFY_TOKEN>" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{"maxItems": 50}'
```

### Input

| Field | Type | Default | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| `keywords` | array | *(built-in seeds)* | One or more search terms. The scraper fans one API call per keyword and deduplicates results. Leave empty to use a built-in set of professional role seeds. |
| `locationCodes` | array | *(all EU)* | Restrict results to specific EU countries or NUTS regions. Use ISO 3166-1 alpha-2 country codes (e.g. `"de"`, `"es"`, `"fr"`) or NUTS codes. Leave empty to search all EU member states. |
| `publishedWithin` | string (`day`|`week`|`month`) | `week` | Only fetch vacancies EURES marks as posted within this window (filtered server-side by the EURES API). `week` matches this Actor's previous fixed behaviour. |
| `maxItems` | integer | `50` (max `1000`) | Maximum number of vacancies to return across all keyword queries. Combined with deduplication, this is a hard cap on pushed records. Each result returned is billed — see Pricing below. |
| `timeoutSeconds` *(Advanced)* | integer | `20` | How long to wait for a reply from the EURES API before giving up on that request, in seconds. |
| `cacheTtlSeconds` *(Advanced)* | integer | `1800` | Reuse a search's results for this many seconds instead of asking EURES again, so quick repeat runs are faster and cheaper. Set `0` to always fetch fresh results. |

### Output example

```json
{
  "id": "8823771",
  "title": "Mechatronics Technician",
  "company": "Siemens AG",
  "country": "DE",
  "location": "DE",
  "url": "https://europa.eu/eures/portal/jv-se/jv-details/8823771",
  "postedAt": "2026-06-30",
  "snippet": "Siemens is hiring a mechatronics technician...",
  "source": "eures"
}
```

### Integrations

Export the dataset as JSON, CSV or Excel from the Console, pull it over the [Apify API](https://docs.apify.com/api/v2) (e.g. `run-sync-get-dataset-items` for a single blocking call), wire it into Make/Zapier/n8n, or call it as a tool from AI agents via the [Apify MCP server](https://docs.apify.com/platform/integrations/mcp).

### Pricing

Pay per event: **$0.05 per Actor start** and **$0.004 per job returned**.
100 jobs ≈ $0.45. No subscription, no rental — you pay only for what you fetch.

### Use cases

- Pan-EU job boards and relocation services
- Cross-border labour-market research
- Job-alert bots for EU-wide searches
- Feeding matching engines with EU-wide supply

### FAQ

**Is it legal to scrape EURES jobs?**
This Actor reads only publicly available job postings — data any visitor can see without logging in. No personal data behind authentication is touched. Review the target site's terms and your local regulations for your specific use case.

**Do I need an account on the target site?**
No. Postings are fetched from public pages/APIs — no login, cookies or session tokens.

**How fresh is the data?**
Every run fetches live listings, filtered server-side by EURES to postings from the last day/week/month via the `publishedWithin` input (default: last week). Within that, results are cached for `cacheTtlSeconds` (default 30 min, set 0 to always hit the source live).

**How many jobs can I get?**
`maxItems` caps the run (default 50, maximum 1000). Results are sorted by keyword-match relevance, not strictly newest-first.

**Is scraping EURES allowed?**
EURES data comes from its public API. Per the portal's terms it is intended for personal / link-back use — review the EURES terms for your use case.

**Something broken or missing?**
Open an issue on the Actor's **Issues** tab — it is monitored and reliability fixes ship fast.

# Actor input Schema

## `keywords` (type: `array`):

One or more search terms. The scraper fans one API call per keyword and deduplicates results. Leave empty to use a built-in set of professional role seeds.

## `locationCodes` (type: `array`):

Restrict results to specific EU countries or NUTS regions. Use ISO 3166-1 alpha-2 country codes (e.g. "de", "es", "fr") or NUTS codes. Leave empty to search all EU member states.

## `publishedWithin` (type: `string`):

Only fetch vacancies EURES marks as posted within this time window (filtered server-side by the EURES API itself). "Last 7 days" matches this Actor's previous fixed behaviour.

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

Maximum number of vacancies to return across all keyword queries. Combined with deduplication, this is a hard cap on pushed records. Each result returned is billed — see the Actor's Pricing tab — so set this only as high as you need.

## `timeoutSeconds` (type: `integer`):

How long to wait for a reply from the EURES API before giving up on that request, in seconds.

## `cacheTtlSeconds` (type: `integer`):

Reuse a search's results for this many seconds instead of asking EURES again, so quick repeat runs are faster and cheaper. Set 0 to always fetch fresh results.
