## 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.

## LinkedIn Jobs Scraper — No Login, No Cookies

Extract live job postings from LinkedIn's public job search — no account, no cookies, no browser. Filter by keyword, location, remote-only and posting age, and receive one clean JSON record per job.

### What LinkedIn jobs 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 LinkedIn jobs 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/linkedin-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~linkedin-scraper/run-sync-get-dataset-items?token=<YOUR_APIFY_TOKEN>" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{"maxItems": 50}'
```

|---|---|---|---|
| `keyword` | string | `""` | Job title, skill or role to search for (e.g. "software engineer", "product manager react"). Leave empty to… |
| `location` | string | `""` | City, region or country to filter by (e.g. "Spain", "London", "European Union"). Leave empty for worldwide… |
| `remote` | boolean | `false` | When enabled, restricts results to remote-eligible postings. |
| `timeFilter` | string | `"r86400"` | Restrict to postings published within the chosen window. |
| `maxItems` | integer | `100` | Maximum number of job postings to return. Set 0 for no limit (up to ~200 per run). |
| `includeDescription` | boolean | `true` | Fetch and include the full plain-text job description for each posting. Disabling this makes runs faster… |
| `cacheTtlSeconds` | integer | `1800` | Cache the upstream fetch in the key-value store for this many seconds; re-runs within the window skip the… |

```json
{
  "id": "4056731188",
  "title": "Senior Frontend Engineer (React)",
  "company": "Acme Software",
  "location": "Berlin, Germany (Remote)",
  "url": "https://www.linkedin.com/jobs/view/4056731188",
  "postedAt": "2026-06-30",
  "salary": "",
  "snippet": "We are hiring a Senior Frontend Engineer..."
}
```

### Pricing

Pay per event: **$0.05 per Actor start** and **$0.004 per job returned**.
100 jobs ≈ $0.45. No subscription, no rental — you pay only for what you fetch.

### Use cases

- Job-alert bots and job boards that need fresh LinkedIn postings
- Recruiting and sourcing pipelines tracking who is hiring
- Salary and hiring-market research by role or region
- AI agents that match candidates to live openings

### FAQ

**Is it legal to scrape LinkedIn jobs?**
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.

**Does it work without a LinkedIn account?**
Yes. The scraper reads LinkedIn's public guest job-search endpoint, so no login, cookies or session tokens are needed.

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