This Actor is paid per event. You are not charged for the Apify platform usage, but only a fixed price for specific events.
Since this Actor supports Apify Store discounts, the price gets lower the higher subscription plan you have.

## 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

## Instahyre Jobs Scraper

**Stop re-checking Instahyre by hand: get only the new jobs for your searches every morning** — in a sheet, Slack or your own job board. Search Instahyre (India) by keyword, location or a pasted search URL and get every matching job as clean JSON with company size, founding year and required skills; 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`, `companyTagline` | as listed |
| `companyEmployees`, `companyFounded` | company size and founding year |
| `location`, `locations`, `remote` | every city listed; `remote` is true for "Work From Home" |
| `skills` | the skills the employer tagged |
| `companyLogo` | logo URL |
| `isNewSinceLastRun` | `true` / `false`, or `null` on the first run (unknown, not "old") |
| `jobUrl` | link to the job on Instahyre |
| `search` | which of your searches returned it |

### Input

Put one **skill** per line (e.g. `python`). Instahyre has no location search, so use **Location contains** (e.g. `bangalore`) to keep only the cities you want. 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": "instahyre",
  "search": "python",
  "jobId": "433344",
  "title": "Python Developer",
  "company": "Big Assets Infra",
  "companyTagline": "Legacy of trust",
  "companyFounded": 2021,
  "companyEmployees": 50,
  "location": "Bangalore",
  "locations": [
    "Bangalore"
  ],
  "remote": false,
  "skills": [
    "Python",
    "Flask",
    "Django",
    "FastAPI"
  ],
  "postedAt": null,
  "jobUrl": "https://www.instahyre.com/job-433344-python-developer-at-big-assets-infra-bangalore/",
  "companyLogo": "https://media.instahyre.com/images/profile/base/employer/53913/611582a1a2/bigassets_infra_logo.webp",
  "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: 8 tidy columns, title first, instead of every raw field.

### Pricing

**$0.80 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": ["python"], "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 skill per line, as on Instahyre — e.g. "python", "react", "java". Each line is its own search.

## `experienceYears` (type: `integer`):

Only jobs open to someone with this many years of experience, as Instahyre matches it.

## `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, e.g. "bangalore, pune, work from home". Instahyre has no location search, so this filters the results.

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

Keep only jobs listed as "Work From Home".

## `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: $0.80 per 1,000 jobs. Newest first on most searches.

## Actor input object example

```json
{
  "searches": [
    "python",
    "react"
  ],
  "output": "all",
  "remoteOnly": false,
  "trackChanges": true,
  "maxJobsPerSearch": 50
}
```
