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 Careers (United Nations) Job Scraper Get live job openings from the official United Nations careers portal ([careers.un.org](https://careers.un.org/jobSearch?language=en)) as clean, structured data — **no login, no account, no setup**. Monitor hundreds of current UN openings across all agencies and duty stations, filter them the way you need, and export to JSON/CSV/Excel or pull via API. ### Why use it - **Always current** — reflects the live UN openings, refreshed continuously. - **Global coverage** — roles across every UN agency, category and duty station. - **Clean structured output** — ready for spreadsheets, databases, dashboards or job-matching pipelines. - **Fast and cheap** — lightweight runs, no proxies required. ### What you get One dataset item per opening: | Field | Description | |---|---| | `jobId` | Stable UN opening id | | `title` | Posting title | | `company` | Always `United Nations` | | `department` | Hiring department / office | | `location` | Duty station | | `category` / `categoryCode` | Staff category (e.g. Professional / PD) | | `jobFamily` / `jobFamilyCode` | Functional area (e.g. Engineering / ENG) | | `network` / `networkCode` | Job network (e.g. ITECNET) | | `level` | Grade/level (e.g. P-3, G-6, I-1) | | `recruitmentType` | UN recruitment type code | | `postedAt` / `deadline` | Posting start / application deadline (ISO) | | `url` | Direct link to the full posting | | `description` | Full plain-text description (optional) | ### Input | Field | Type | Notes | |---|---|---| | `keyword` | string | Free-text search over titles + descriptions | | `categories` | array | Staff category filter | | `jobFamilies` | array | Functional area filter | | `networks` | array | Job-network filter | | `locationFilter` | string | Case-insensitive duty-station substring | | `maxItems` | integer | Cap results; `0` = all matching openings | | `includeDescription` | boolean | Include full description text (default true) | | `sortDirection` | enum | `newest` / `oldest` by start date | #### Example ```json { "keyword": "data", "categories": ["PD"], "locationFilter": "geneva", "maxItems": 50, "includeDescription": true } ```` Returns up to 50 Professional-category openings matching "data" in Geneva, each with the full description text. ### Use cases - Job seekers and career coaches tracking new UN postings before deadlines. - Recruitment and staffing teams sourcing international-organization roles. - Development / humanitarian sector aggregators and newsletters. - Labor-market researchers analyzing roles, grades and duty stations over time. # Actor input Schema ## `keyword` (type: `string`): Free-text search across job titles and descriptions (e.g. "data engineer", "human rights"). Leave empty to return all current openings. ## `categories` (type: `array`): Staff category. Leave empty for all. ## `jobFamilies` (type: `array`): Functional area. Leave empty for all. ## `networks` (type: `array`): High-level job network. Leave empty for all. ## `locationFilter` (type: `string`): Optional case-insensitive substring match on duty station, applied client-side (the API has no server-side location filter). E.g. "geneva", "new york", "nairobi". ## `maxItems` (type: `integer`): Maximum number of openings to return. Set 0 for no limit (all matching openings). ## `includeDescription` (type: `boolean`): Include the full plain-text job description in each result. Turn off for lighter, faster output. ## `sortDirection` (type: `string`): Order openings by posting start date. ## `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 { "keyword": "data analyst", "locationFilter": "geneva", "maxItems": 100, "includeDescription": true, "sortDirection": "newest", "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/un-careers-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 📖?
