## 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`).

### Built In Jobs Scraper

***

Scrape **US tech and startup jobs from Built In** — builtin.com and its regional sites (builtinnyc.com, builtinla.com, builtinchicago.org, builtinboston.com, builtinaustin.com, builtincolorado.com, builtinseattle.com, builtinsf.com). Provide any Built In jobs search or category URL and the Actor returns every job card as structured data: title, company, location, remote/hybrid/in-office, salary range, seniority, posting age, skills and a summary. Turn on `detailedInfo` to also fetch each job's full description, ISO posting date, employment type, industries and benefits.

#### ⚙️ **Configuration**

| Parameter | Type | Default | Description |
|-----------|------|---------|-------------|
| `url` | String | *(required)* | Built In jobs URL with filters applied, e.g. `https://builtin.com/jobs?search=data+engineer` or `https://builtin.com/jobs/remote/dev-engineering`. Regional sites work the same way. |
| `maxPages` | Integer | `1` | Number of result pages to scrape (1–1000, 25 jobs each). |
| `maxItems` | Integer | `0` | Max jobs to return across all pages (0 = no limit). Useful to cap cost with `detailedInfo`. |
| `detailedInfo` | Boolean | `false` | Visit each job page for the full description, ISO posting date, employment type, industries and benefits. One extra request per job. |
| `proxyConfiguration` | Object | Apify Proxy (auto) | Proxy settings; switch to RESIDENTIAL only if results are empty. |

##### Example Input

```json
{
  "url": "https://builtin.com/jobs?search=data+engineer",
  "maxPages": 2,
  "detailedInfo": false
}
```

##### Getting your search URL

1. Open [builtin.com/jobs](https://builtin.com/jobs) (or a regional site such as builtinnyc.com) and apply your filters: keyword, category, remote/hybrid, experience level, location
2. Copy the full URL from your browser address bar
3. Paste it as the `url` input — pagination (`?page=N`) is handled by `maxPages`

Notes: without `detailedInfo`, `postedAt` is the relative age shown on the card (e.g. "8 Days Ago") and `descriptionText` is null (use `snippet` for the short summary). With `detailedInfo`, `postedAt` becomes an ISO date. Applying on Built In requires a Built In account, so `applyUrl` points to the job page.

#### 💬 **Support and Feedback**

Reach out via Apify support channels or leave feedback on the Actor's page.

#### **Is it legal to scrape Built In data?**

It is legal to scrape publicly available job data such as titles, locations, salaries and descriptions. Results may include personal data (e.g. recruiter names inside descriptions); scrape personal data only with a legitimate reason. Consult your legal advisor if unsure.

# Actor input Schema

## `url` (type: `string`):

A Built In jobs search or category URL with your filters applied, e.g. https://builtin.com/jobs?search=data+engineer or https://builtin.com/jobs/remote/dev-engineering. Regional sites (builtinnyc.com, builtinla.com, builtinchicago.org, builtinboston.com …) work too.

## `maxPages` (type: `integer`):

How many result pages to scrape (25 jobs each). Pagination via the ?page= query parameter (1-based).

## `maxItems` (type: `integer`):

Maximum number of jobs to return across all pages (0 = no limit). Handy to cap cost when detailedInfo is on.

## `detailedInfo` (type: `boolean`):

Visit each job's page for the full description, ISO posting date, employment type, industries and benefits. Slower, one extra request per job.

## `proxyConfiguration` (type: `object`):

Proxy settings. Defaults to Apify Proxy (auto). Switch to RESIDENTIAL only if results are empty.

## Actor input object example

```json

  "proxyConfiguration": {
    "useApifyProxy": true

## MCP server setup

```json

        }
    }
}
```

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).
