## 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?

```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
```

## 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 |
|---|---|
| `title` | Job title as posted |
| `company` | Hiring company / organisation |
| `location` | Location / duty station (may include remote hints) |
| `url` | Direct link to the posting |
| `postedAt` | Posting date where the source provides it |
| `salary` | Salary text where the source provides it |
| `snippet` | Short description excerpt |
| `id` | Stable source-side identifier |

### 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-jobs/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-jobs~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… |
| `maxItems` | integer | `40` | Maximum number of openings to return. ImpactPool shows up to 40 cards per page; set 0 for no client-side cap. |
| `cacheTtlSeconds` | integer | `1800` | Cache the upstream fetch in the key-value store for this many seconds; re-runs within the window skip the… |

### Output example

```json
{
  "id": "ip-664121",

```

### Pricing

### 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?**
`maxItems` caps the run (set 0 where supported for no cap). Most sources paginate from newest to oldest.

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