The Actor is free to use, and you only pay for the Apify platform usage, which gets cheaper the higher subscription plan you have.

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 ## Ikerbasque Research Positions Scraper Get live research calls and fellowship openings from **Ikerbasque — the Basque Foundation for Science** as clean, structured data. Covers all current programmes including Research Fellows, Permanent Positions, ERC Fast Track, and DIPC-partnered quantum positions. **No login, no account, no setup.** ### Why use it - **Always current** — reflects live open calls as published by the foundation. - **Open-only by default** — filters out closed calls so your pipeline sees only actionable postings. Optionally include closed calls too. - **Clean structured output** — ready for spreadsheets, databases, or job-matching pipelines. - **Lightweight** — a single page request, no proxies required. ### What you get One dataset item per call: | Field | Description | |---|---| | `id` | Stable slug from the call URL (e.g. `ikerbasque-erc-fast-track-2026`) | | `title` | Call title | | `company` | Always `Ikerbasque` | | `location` | Always `Bilbao, Spain` (Ikerbasque places researchers across the Basque region; Bilbao is the foundation seat) | | `status` | `Open` or `Closed` as reported by the foundation | | `postedAt` | Posting date (blank — not exposed on the listing page) | | `url` | Direct link to the full call page | | `snippet` | Short plain-text summary of the call, up to 400 characters | ### Input | Field | Type | Default | Notes | |---|---|---|---| | `includeClosed` | boolean | `false` | Also return calls whose status is Closed | | `maxItems` | integer | `0` | Cap the number of results; `0` = no limit | #### Example ```json { "includeClosed": false, "maxItems": 0 } ```` Returns all currently open Ikerbasque calls. ### Use cases - Researchers and career services tracking Basque-region science fellowships. - Academic recruitment teams monitoring competitive European research programmes. - Job-alert pipelines that need a reliable feed of Ikerbasque openings. - Grant-monitoring dashboards covering ERC and national science-foundation calls. # Actor input Schema ## `includeClosed` (type: `boolean`): When enabled, closed calls (no longer accepting applications) are included alongside open ones. By default only open calls are returned. ## `maxItems` (type: `integer`): Maximum number of calls to return. Set 0 for no limit. ## `cacheTtlSeconds` (type: `integer`): Cache the upstream fetch in the key-value store for this many seconds; re-runs within the window skip the network call. Set 0 to disable. ## Actor input object example ```json { "includeClosed": false, "maxItems": 0, "cacheTtlSeconds": 1800 } ``` # API You can run this Actor programmatically using our API. Below are code examples in JavaScript, Python, and CLI, as well as the OpenAPI specification and MCP server setup. ## JavaScript example ```javascript import { ApifyClient } from 'apify-client'; // Initialize the ApifyClient with your Apify API token // Replace the '' with your token const client = new ApifyClient({ token: '', }); // Prepare Actor input const input = {}; // Run the Actor and wait for it to finish const run = await client.actor("nomad-dev/ikerbasque-scraper").call(input); // Fetch and print Actor results from the run's dataset (if any) console.log('Results from dataset'); console.log(`💾 Check your data here: https://console.apify.com/storage/datasets/${run.defaultDatasetId}`); const { items } = await client.dataset(run.defaultDatasetId).listItems(); items.forEach((item) => { console.dir(item); }); // 📚 Want to learn more 📖?
