## What's an Apify Actor?

An Actor is a serverless cloud program that runs on the Apify platform. It has two run modes.
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.

Apify vocabulary and the platform model are defined once, in the agent quickstart at https://apify.com/agents.md.

## 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.

Do not guess an integration path. Every one of them is in the agent quickstart at https://apify.com/agents.md: the Apify MCP server, Agent Skills with the Apify CLI, the JavaScript and Python clients, the REST API, and the account-free path for an agent with no human to sign in. It also carries the rule on stating cost before the first paid run.

For examples already wired to this Actor's own input schema, see the [API](#api) section below.

Each client library has reference documentation the quickstart does not restate: [JavaScript/TypeScript](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/js/docs.md) (`npm install apify-client`) and [Python](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/python/docs.md) (`pip install apify-client`).

# README

## Arbeitnow Jobs Scraper

**Stop re-checking Arbeitnow by hand: get only the new jobs for your searches every morning** — in a sheet, Slack or your own job board. Search Arbeitnow (Germany and Europe (English-friendly jobs)) by keyword, location or a pasted search URL and get every matching job as clean JSON with the salary split into min / max / interval; schedule it and each run marks **which jobs are new since your last run**.

### How "new since last run" works

The Actor remembers which jobs each search returned last time. A job it has not seen before is marked `isNewSinceLastRun: true`.
If the whole search fits within **Max jobs**, the comparison is exact and jobs that disappeared come back as `type: "closed"` rows. If the search is bigger than Max jobs, a job only counts as new when it was also posted after your previous run — so an old job that merely moved into view is never reported as new.

Filters (title, location text, salary, remote) never change the comparison, so changing a filter never makes jobs look new.

### What you get

| Field | |
|---|---|
| `title`, `company`, `location` | as listed |
| `remote`, `employmentType`, `tags` | remote flag, job type and Arbeitnow's tags (many roles are English-speaking or offer visa sponsorship) |
| `description` | the full job text |
| `postedAt` | when the job was added |

Arbeitnow's public feed has no keyword search, so this Actor reads the newest jobs and keeps those matching your words and city. "New since last run" compares that filtered set.
| `isNewSinceLastRun` | `true` / `false`, or `null` on the first run (unknown, not "old") |
| `jobUrl` | link to the job on Arbeitnow |
| `search` | which of your searches returned it |

### Input

Put one search per line in **Searches** (e.g. `engineer`) and optionally a **Location** (e.g. `Berlin`). Or set the filters on the site and paste the result page into **Search URLs** (e.g. `https://www.arbeitnow.com/`) — every filter the site has then applies. Many searches in one run are cheaper than one run each.

A search the site refuses comes back as an `error` row and the run carries on.

### Example output

One real row from a test run (long text shortened here with …).

```json
{
  "type": "job",
  "provider": "arbeitnow",
  "search": "engineer",
  "jobId": "software-engineer-price-comparison-portal-berlin-233707",
  "title": "Software Engineer",
  "company": "Preiswecker",
  "location": "Berlin",
  "remote": false,
  "tags": [
    "Software Engineering",
    "E-Commerce"
  ],
  "employmentType": "Full-time",
  "description": "Preiswecker is a price comparison portal in Germany, helping thousands of users find the best deals online every day.\nWe are looking for a Software Engineer to …",
  "postedAt": "2026-08-12T06:40:00.000Z",
  "jobUrl": "https://www.preiswecker.com/",
  "isNewSinceLastRun": false
}
```

### Get only the new jobs every morning (3 steps)

1. Open this Actor in Apify Console, fill in your searches, set **What to return** to **Only jobs that are new since the last run**, and click **Save as a new task**.
2. On the task, add a **Schedule** — for example daily at 07:00.
3. Open the task's **Integrations** tab and connect **Slack**, **email**, **Google Sheets** (or Zapier / Make / a webhook). Each morning you get only the new jobs.

You pay only for the new jobs plus $0.01 per run, so a quiet day costs about a cent. When you export by hand, pick the **Jobs** view: 10 tidy columns, title first, instead of every raw field.

### Pricing

**$0.45 per 1,000 jobs**, plus $0.01 per run. Closed-job rows and errors are free. With **Only jobs that are new since the last run**, a daily schedule only pays for the new ones.

### For AI agents

For a fast answer call with `{"searches": ["engineer"], "maxJobsPerSearch": 20}` — a few seconds. The defaults (up to 200 jobs) can take about a minute, which is longer than many agent tool timeouts. Each row has `type`: `job`, `closed` or `error`. `isNewSinceLastRun: null` means "no previous run to compare with".

# Actor input Schema

## `searches` (type: `array`):

One search per line, the same words you would type on Arbeitnow — e.g. "engineer". Many searches in one run cost one start fee.

## `startUrls` (type: `array`):

Or paste search result URLs from Arbeitnow — set any filters on the site first, then copy the address, e.g. https://www.arbeitnow.com/. Each URL is its own search.

## `location` (type: `string`):

Same as the "where" box on Arbeitnow, e.g. "Berlin". Leave empty for the whole country.

## `postedWithinDays` (type: `integer`):

Only jobs posted in the last N days. Leave empty for all.

## `output` (type: `string`):

Schedule this Actor daily and pick "Only new" to get a cheap new-jobs feed. The first run returns everything (there is nothing to compare with yet).

## `titleKeywords` (type: `string`):

Comma-separated. Keep jobs whose title contains any of these, e.g. "senior, lead".

## `locationKeywords` (type: `string`):

Comma-separated. Filters the returned jobs by their location text.

## `withSalaryOnly` (type: `boolean`):

Keep only jobs whose salary could be read as a number.

## `remoteOnly` (type: `boolean`):

Keep only jobs the site marks as remote.

## `trackChanges` (type: `boolean`):

Remembers which jobs each search returned, so the next run can mark new ones (and closed ones, when the whole search fits in Max jobs).

## `maxJobsPerSearch` (type: `integer`):

Caps what you pay for: $0.45 per 1,000 jobs. Newest first on Arbeitnow.
