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 ## UN Jobs Scraper — unjobs.org UN & NGO Vacancies Fetch current vacancies from **unjobs.org** — the classic UN jobs aggregator covering UN agencies, funds and programmes plus adjacent international organisations, updated continuously throughout the day. No API key, no login, no proxy setup. **$5 per 1,000 results** (plus a $0.005 start fee), with volume discounts down to $3.50/1,000. ### What unjobs.org data does this scraper extract? Each result is one flat JSON record per vacancy: | Field | Meaning | |---|---| | `id` | Stable source-side identifier (unjobs.org posting id) | | `title` | Job title as listed (unjobs.org appends the duty station: "Role, City, Country") | | `company` | Hiring organisation line (e.g. "UNICEF - United Nations Children's Fund") | | `location` | Duty station, when the title carries a real one (see below) | | `url` | Direct link to the vacancy on unjobs.org | | `updatedAt` | ISO timestamp of when unjobs.org last updated the posting | | `snippet` | Organisation — location, joined as a short summary line | | `source` | Always `"unjobs"` | With **Include full details** (`includeDetails`) on, each record also carries the fields the listing page simply does not have: | Field | Meaning | |---|---| | `closingDate` | **Application deadline** (ISO 8601) | | `description` | **Full job description** text, up to 5,000 characters | | `country` / `city` | Structured location as the organisation itself published it | | `office` | Hiring office, e.g. "UNICEF in Amman" | This costs one extra event per vacancy enriched, and it also *corrects* `location`: unjobs.org publishes no location field on the listing, so it can only be read off the end of the job title — and a title like *"Chair, Department of Biological and Biomedical Sciences"* has a comma but no location. Listing-only records leave `location` empty rather than fill it with a fragment of the title; detail mode replaces the guess with the real country and city. ### Choosing a feed **Organisation** and **Duty station** override **Feed** when set. | Feed | What you get | Use it for | |---|---|---| | `latest` *(default)* | The 25 newest postings site-wide | Job alerts, monitoring — a new vacancy lands here first | | `closing` | ~300 vacancies whose deadline is near | Deadline-driven search | | `allOrganizations` | Every one of the ~143 organisation feeds, deduped | A full snapshot of what unjobs.org currently lists | | `organization` | One organisation, e.g. `unicef`, `wfp`, `undp` ([browse](https://unjobs.org/organizations)) | Tracking one agency | | `dutyStation` | One duty station, e.g. `gva` for Geneva ([browse](https://unjobs.org/duty_stations)) | Tracking one location | Note that `latest` and `closing` are **disjoint** — a posting published today with a deadline two months out is not in the closing-soon feed. If you are watching for new vacancies, use `latest` (the default) rather than `closing`. Add a **Keyword filter** (`keywordFilter`) on top of any feed to keep only postings whose title or organisation matches; filtered-out postings are never billed. ### Built for job-alert bots: delta mode Turn on **Only new since last run** (`onlyNewSinceLastRun`) and every scheduled run returns only postings it has never delivered before — already-seen jobs are dropped before they're pushed or billed, so a monitoring schedule pays only for genuinely new openings. Seen ids persist in the Actor's key-value store across runs; **Reset delta state** (`resetSeenJobs`) starts over. No other UN/NGO-sector scraper on Apify offers an incremental mode. Pair it with the `latest` feed and a schedule (hourly keeps up comfortably: unjobs.org posts roughly 10 vacancies an hour) and you have a complete new-vacancy stream that bills you only for jobs you have never seen. ### How to scrape unjobs.org 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 (organisation, duty station, keyword, `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("") run = client.actor("nomad-agent/unjobs-scraper").call(run_input={"organization": "unicef"}) for item in client.dataset(run["defaultDatasetId"]).iterate_items(): print(item["title"], item["url"]) ```` ### Pricing Pay per event — you are billed for results, not for runtime: | Event | Price | |---|---| | Run start | $0.005 | | Each vacancy returned | $0.005 ($5 / 1,000; volume tiers down to $3.50 / 1,000) | | Each vacancy enriched with full details | extra, and only when `includeDetails` is on | Delta mode and the keyword filter both reduce what you pay — postings dropped by either are never pushed and never billed, and a vacancy page that fails to load is never charged the detail event. A full `allOrganizations` snapshot is around 900 vacancies, so it bills roughly $4.50. Every run also carries a **maximum total charge** (Apify sets a default one from your plan). If a snapshot would exceed it, the Actor delivers everything that fits inside your budget and stops cleanly — it never overruns the cap. Raise the run's max total charge to take the rest. ### Related actors — the full UN / NGO jobs stack unjobs.org is one lens on the impact-sector job market.

This Actor reads only publicly listed vacancy summaries (title, organisation, location, link) — no personal data, no login-protected content. Review the target site's terms and your local regulations before large-scale use. *** **From the maker of [Oink](https://github.com/Exdenta/OinkAIJobSearch)** — an open-source, AI-powered job-search bot for Telegram that runs on these Actors.

Latest = the newest postings site-wide — the right feed for job alerts and delta mode, because a brand-new vacancy appears here first. Closing soon = vacancies whose deadline is near (a posting with a distant deadline is not in this feed). All organisations = every one of the ~143 organisation feeds, deduped into one full snapshot — the widest coverage unjobs.org allows. Ignored when Organisation or Duty station is set. ## `includeDetails` (type: `boolean`): Open each vacancy page to add the fields the listing does not carry: closing date, the full job description, and the organisation's own structured country/city (more accurate than the location inferred from the title). Slower, and billed as an extra event per vacancy enriched — a vacancy page that fails to load costs nothing. ## `organization` (type: `string`): Scrape one organisation's vacancies. Use the slug from its unjobs.org URL, e.g. unicef, wfp, undp (see unjobs.org/organizations). Takes precedence over the duty-station feed and over Feed. Leave empty to use the selected feed. ## `dutyStation` (type: `string`): Scrape one duty station's vacancies. Use the station code from its unjobs.org URL, e.g. gva for Geneva (see unjobs.org/duty\_stations). Ignored when Organisation is set. ## `keywordFilter` (type: `string`): Only keep postings whose title or organisation contains this text (case-insensitive). Applied after fetching; filtered-out postings are never billed. ## `maxItems` (type: `integer`): Maximum number of vacancies to return; you're billed per result returned. The Latest feed serves 25, Closing soon ~300, and All organisations a few thousand — raise this to take the full snapshot. Set 0 to keep everything the feed returns. Values outside 0–5000 are clamped, never rejected. ## `onlyNewSinceLastRun` (type: `boolean`): Return only postings not already delivered by a previous run of this Actor. Ideal for scheduled monitoring / job-alert bots: already-seen jobs are dropped before they're pushed or billed, so you pay only for genuinely new openings. Seen job ids are remembered in the Actor's key-value store across runs. ## `resetSeenJobs` (type: `boolean`): Clear the remembered set of already-seen jobs before this run, so delta mode starts from a clean slate (every current posting counts as new). Only meaningful together with Only new since last run. ## `cacheTtlSeconds` (type: `integer`): Reuse the last fetched page for this many seconds instead of contacting unjobs.org again, so quick repeat runs are faster and cheaper. Set 0 (or any negative value) to always fetch a fresh page. ## Actor input object example ```json { "feed": "latest", "includeDetails": false, "organization": "unicef", "dutyStation": "gva", "keywordFilter": "health", "maxItems": 40, "onlyNewSinceLastRun": false, "resetSeenJobs": false, "cacheTtlSeconds": 1800 } ``` # Actor output Schema ## `dataset` (type: `string`): No description # API You can run this Actor programmatically using our API.
