## 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

## Impactpool Jobs Scraper — UN & NGO Careers

Fetch mission-driven vacancies — UN agencies, INGOs, development banks — from Impactpool.org.

### What Impactpool data does this scraper extract?

Each result is one flat JSON record per job posting:

| Field | Meaning |
|---|---|
| `id` | Stable source-side identifier (ImpactPool job ID) |
| `title` | Job title as posted |
| `company` | Hiring organisation |
| `location` | Duty station / location (defaults to "Worldwide" when the card doesn't list one) |
| `seniority` | Seniority level as shown on the card (e.g. "Senior - Senior level") |
| `url` | Direct link to the posting |
| `snippet` | Organisation — location — seniority, joined as a short summary line |
| `source` | Always `"impactpool"` |

Note: ImpactPool's search-listing cards do not carry a posting date or an application deadline anywhere in the page markup this Actor fetches (confirmed by inspecting the live page — no date field of any kind is present), so this Actor does not emit `postedAt` or `deadline`. Individual job *detail* pages do show a closing date, but fetching one detail page per result would multiply requests ~40x per run; that's not implemented here.

### How to scrape Impactpool 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-agent/impactpool-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-agent~impactpool-scraper/run-sync-get-dataset-items?token=<YOUR_APIFY_TOKEN>" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{"maxItems": 50}'
```

### Input

| Field | Type | Default | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| `keyword` | string | `""` | Free-text search to bias results toward specific roles, sectors or topics (e.g. "policy", "programme manager", "migration", "consultant"). Leave empty to return the latest global feed. |
| `locationFilter` | string | `""` | Only keep postings whose location/duty station text contains this (case-insensitive). Applied after fetching, on top of the keyword search. Leave empty to keep all locations. |
| `maxItems` | integer | `40` | Maximum number of openings to return, across as many pages as it takes; billed per result returned. Set 0 to keep every posting the search returns (bounded by an internal safety cap on pages fetched). |
| `cacheTtlSeconds` | integer | `1800` | *(Advanced)* Reuse the last fetched page for this many seconds instead of contacting ImpactPool again, so quick repeat runs are faster and cheaper. Set 0 to always fetch a fresh page. |

### Output example

```json
{
  "id": "1223429",
  "title": "Head of Office / Local Representative - KfW Office in Antananarivo (Madagascar)",
  "company": "KfW Banque de Développement",
  "location": "Antananarivo",
  "seniority": "Senior Executive - Senior Executive level",
  "url": "https://www.impactpool.org/jobs/1223429",
  "snippet": "KfW Banque de Développement — Antananarivo — Senior Executive - Senior Executive level",
  "source": "impactpool"
}
```

### 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.

### Integrations

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

### Use cases

- Impact-sector job boards and alert bots
- Career coaching for international-development careers
- Fellowship and JPO tracking
- Diversity of duty-station analysis

### FAQ

**Is it legal to scrape Impactpool?**
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. Results are cached for `cacheTtlSeconds` (default 30 min, set 0 to always hit the source live).

**How many jobs can I get?**
This Actor pages through ImpactPool's search results (roughly 40 postings per page) until it has `maxItems` postings or the listing runs out. `maxItems` trims the result count if you want fewer; `locationFilter` narrows further.

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

# Actor input Schema

## `keyword` (type: `string`):

Free-text search to bias results toward specific roles, sectors or topics (e.g. "policy", "programme manager", "migration", "consultant"). Leave empty to return the latest global feed.

## `locationFilter` (type: `string`):

Only keep postings whose location/duty station text contains this (case-insensitive). Applied after fetching, on top of the keyword search. Leave empty to keep all locations.

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

Maximum number of openings to return, paging through the search listing as needed; you're billed per result returned. Set 0 to keep every posting the search returns (bounded by an internal safety cap on pages fetched).

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

Reuse the last fetched page for this many seconds instead of contacting ImpactPool again, so quick repeat runs are faster and cheaper. Set 0 to always fetch a fresh page.

## Actor input object example

```json
{
  "keyword": "policy research",
  "locationFilter": "Geneva",
  "maxItems": 40,
  "cacheTtlSeconds": 1800
}
