## 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

## Ashby Jobs Scraper & New Job Monitor

Get every open job from any company that hires with Ashby, as clean JSON, with the
salary ranges the company publishes. Run it once for a full snapshot, or schedule it
daily in **changes** mode to get only the jobs that were **added, updated or closed**
since the last run.

No login, no cookies, no proxies. It reads Ashby's public Job Postings API, one request per company.

### What you can do with it

- **Job boards and aggregators:** keep a fresh feed of startup jobs from hundreds of companies.
- **Sales teams:** spot hiring signals ("Acme opened 5 data engineering roles this week").
- **Recruiters and analysts:** track hiring and pay ranges by company, team and location.
- **AI agents:** one-line input, flat output, and you pay only for the jobs you get.

### Quick start

```json
{ "companies": ["openai", "ramp", "linear"] }
```

Each entry can be a job board name (`ramp`), a board URL (`https://jobs.ashbyhq.com/ramp`),
a job URL from that board, or a company name.

### Monitor new jobs

```json
{ "companies": ["openai", "ramp"], "mode": "changes", "keywords": ["engineer"] }
```

Schedule it daily. Each job comes with `changeType`: `new`, `updated` or `closed`.
If a company fails to load, its jobs are never reported as closed. If you hit your
spending limit, the jobs you did not receive are reported again on the next run.

Use a different `monitorId` for each watch list or set of filters.

### Input

| Field | Type | Default | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
| `companies` | string\[] | required | Job board names, board URLs or company names |
| `mode` | `all` / `changes` | `all` | Full snapshot, or only changes since the last run |
| `keywords` / `excludeKeywords` | string\[] | `[]` | Match on title, department and team, case- and accent-insensitive |
| `locations` | string\[] | `[]` | Match on any of the job's locations, e.g. `remote`, `Germany`, `London` |
| `departments` | string\[] | `[]` | Match on department or team names |
| `remoteOnly` | boolean | `false` | Only jobs marked as remote |
| `postedWithinDays` | number | none | Only jobs published in the last N days |
| `includeDescription` | `text` / `html` / `none` | `text` | Description format. `none` gives the smallest output |
| `maxJobsPerCompany` | number | `1000` | Safety cap per company |
| `monitorId` | string | `default` | Name of the saved state for `changes` mode |
| `emitOnFirstRun` | boolean | `true` | If off, the first `changes` run only saves a baseline |

### Output

One item per job, in the same format as our Greenhouse, Workday and Lever Actors. Every field is
always present (`null` when unknown), and dates are UTC ISO 8601.

```json
{
  "jobId": "ashby:ramp:2f1c0a9e-0000-4000-8000-000000000000",
  "source": "ashby",
  "companyToken": "ramp",
  "companyName": null,
  "title": "Senior Backend Engineer",
  "departments": ["Engineering", "Platform"],
  "offices": ["New York, NY", "San Francisco, CA"],
  "location": "New York, NY",
  "countryCode": "US",
  "workplaceType": "hybrid",
  "isRemote": false,
  "employmentType": "full-time",
  "url": "https://jobs.ashbyhq.com/ramp/2f1c0a9e-0000-4000-8000-000000000000",
  "firstPublishedAt": "2026-10-18T13:00:00.000Z",
  "updatedAt": null,
  "requisitionId": null,
  "language": null,
  "salary": { "min": 150000, "max": 190000, "currency": "USD", "period": "year" },
  "descriptionText": "...",
  "descriptionHtml": null,
  "changeType": "new",
  "scrapedAt": "2026-10-25T12:00:00.000Z"
}
```

`departments` holds the department and the team. `salary` is the base salary the company
publishes (equity and bonus are left out), and `null` when it does not publish one.
Ashby's API does not return the company's display name, so `companyName` is `null`; use
`companyToken`. A run summary (companies checked, failed companies with the reason, counts
per change type) is saved in the `OUTPUT` record of the run's key-value store.

### Pricing

Pay per event, no subscription:

- $0.0015 per job returned ($1.50 per 1,000 jobs)
- $0.0005 per company checked

Salaries are included at no extra cost. Filters run **before** you are charged, so you
only pay for jobs that match.

### Is it legal?

This Actor reads Ashby's public Job Postings API, which Ashby provides so companies can
show their open jobs anywhere, with no authentication. It returns job postings that
employers published. It does not collect data about individuals: emails and phone numbers
inside job descriptions are masked. You are responsible for how you use the data.

### FAQ

**Why is a company missing?**
It may not use Ashby, or its board name differs from its name. Open one of its job postings
and copy the name from the `jobs.ashbyhq.com/<name>` link. Custom career domains cannot be
resolved to a board name.

**I changed my filters and got many closed or new jobs.**
The monitor compares against the saved state of that `monitorId`. Use a new `monitorId`
when you change filters.

**Greenhouse, Workday or Lever?**
See our Greenhouse, Workday and Lever Actors: same input, same output.

### Use it from an AI agent

Want Claude, Cursor or your own agent to search these jobs directly? The
[Career Site Jobs MCP Server](https://apify.com/nswk_api/career-site-jobs-mcp) exposes Greenhouse,
Ashby, Lever and Workday as MCP tools (`search_jobs`, `get_job_changes`, `get_salary_stats`),
with company names resolved automatically.

```

The hosted server signs you in with OAuth on first connect, so no API token belongs in this config. Clients without OAuth support can send an `Authorization: Bearer <APIFY_API_TOKEN>` header instead, using a token from API & Integrations in Apify Console (https://console.apify.com/settings/integrations).
