## 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

## Welcome to the Jungle Job Scraper

Get live job postings from [Welcome to the Jungle](https://www.welcometothejungle.com) as clean, structured data — **no login, no account, no setup**.

Welcome to the Jungle is one of Europe's largest job boards, with particularly strong coverage across France, Spain, Germany, Benelux, and the wider EU tech sector.

### Why use it

- **Always current** — reflects the live index, updated continuously.
- **EU-focused** — best-in-class coverage of France, Spain, Germany, Benelux, and neighbouring markets.
- **Clean structured output** — ready for spreadsheets, databases, dashboards or job-matching pipelines.
- **Remote-aware** — filter postings by remote policy (fully remote, hybrid, on-site).

### What you get

One dataset item per posting:

| Field | Description |
|---|---|
| `id` | Stable posting identifier |
| `title` | Job title (in the original posting language) |
| `company` | Hiring company name |
| `location` | Office city and country, or "Remote" / "Hybrid" |
| `url` | Direct link to the full posting on WTTJ |
| `postedAt` | ISO 8601 UTC publication timestamp |
| `snippet` | Plain-text excerpt from the job description (up to 400 chars) |
| `salary` | Salary range when disclosed (e.g. `45,000-65,000 EUR annual`) |
| `hasRemote` | `true` if any remote work is offered |
| `remoteType` | `"full"`, `"partial"` (hybrid), or `null` |
| `profession` | Profession / role category label |
| `source` | Always `"wttj"` |

### Input

| Field | Type | Default | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| `query` | string | _(empty)_ | Free-text search over titles and descriptions |
| `countryCodes` | string | EU default set | Comma-separated ISO 3166-1 alpha-2 codes (e.g. `"ES,FR,DE"`) |
| `includeRemote` | boolean | `true` | Include remote/hybrid postings regardless of country |
| `indexLang` | enum | `"en"` | Taxonomy label language (`en`, `fr`, `es`, `de`, `nl`, `pt`, `it`) |
| `maxItems` | integer | `50` | Maximum postings to return |

The default country set when `countryCodes` is left blank: `ES, FR, DE, NL, BE, IE, PT, IT, SE, DK, FI, NO, AT, CH, PL, LU, EE`.

#### Example: Spanish software engineering roles

```json
{
  "query": "software engineer",
  "countryCodes": "ES",
  "includeRemote": true,
  "maxItems": 100
}
````

#### Example: All remote-friendly EU roles

```json
{
  "query": "",
  "includeRemote": true,
  "maxItems": 200
}
```

### Use cases

- Job seekers tracking new European tech postings as they go live.
- Recruitment and sourcing teams building talent pipelines in the EU market.
- Job board aggregators, newsletters, and career services.
- Labor-market researchers studying EU hiring trends, salary disclosure, and remote-work adoption.

# Actor input Schema

## `query` (type: `string`):

Free-text search over job titles and descriptions (e.g. "software engineer", "product manager"). Leave empty to return all matching postings ranked by recency.

## `countryCodes` (type: `string`):

Comma-separated ISO 3166-1 alpha-2 country codes to filter postings by office location (e.g. "ES,FR,DE"). Leave empty to use the default EU set: ES, FR, DE, NL, BE, IE, PT, IT, SE, DK, FI, NO, AT, CH, PL, LU, EE.

## `includeRemote` (type: `boolean`):

When enabled, postings flagged as fully remote or hybrid are included regardless of country. Disable to restrict results to the specified country offices only.

## `indexLang` (type: `string`):

Language variant of the search index. Controls how taxonomy labels (sectors, professions) are rendered. Job titles and descriptions are always preserved in their original language.

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

Maximum number of postings to return. The scraper fetches up to 2× this value from the index and stops after delivering this many parsed results.

## `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
{
  "query": "data engineer",
  "countryCodes": "ES,FR,DE",
  "includeRemote": true,
  "indexLang": "en",
  "maxItems": 50,
  "cacheTtlSeconds": 1800
}
```
