## 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`).

#### ⚙️ **Configuration**

| Parameter | Type | Default | Description |
|-----------|------|---------|-------------|
| `url` | String | *(required)* | Computrabajo search URL from any country site, e.g. `https://co.computrabajo.com/trabajo-de-contador` or `https://mx.computrabajo.com/trabajo-de-desarrollador-en-ciudad-de-mexico`. |
| `maxPages` | Integer | `1` | Number of result pages to scrape (1–500, 20 offers per page, `?p=N` pagination). |
| `maxItems` | Integer | `0` | Stop after this many offers (0 = all offers on the scraped pages). Handy to cap detail requests. |
| `detailedInfo` | Boolean | `false` | Visit each offer page for the full description, contract type, workday, dates and requirements. One extra request per offer. |
| `proxyConfiguration` | Object | Apify Proxy (auto) | Proxy settings; switch to RESIDENTIAL only if results are empty. |

##### Example Input

```json
{
  "url": "https://co.computrabajo.com/trabajo-de-contador",
  "maxPages": 3,
  "detailedInfo": false
}
```

##### Getting your search URL

1. Open the Computrabajo site for your country (e.g. `co.computrabajo.com`, `mx.computrabajo.com`, `pe.computrabajo.com`) and search for a role, optionally with a city and filters
2. Copy the full URL from your browser address bar (e.g. `https://mx.computrabajo.com/trabajo-de-desarrollador-en-ciudad-de-mexico`)
3. Paste it as the `url` input — the scraper handles the `?p=N` pagination for you

#### 💬 **Support and Feedback**

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

#### **Is it legal to scrape Computrabajo data?**

It is legal to scrape publicly available data such as job titles, salaries, locations and descriptions. Results may contain personal data (e.g. recruiter or contact names inside a description); scrape personal data only with a legitimate reason. Personal data is protected by the data-protection laws of each country (e.g. Colombia's Ley 1581, Mexico's LFPDPPP) — consult your legal advisor if unsure.

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

How many result pages to scrape (20 items each). Pagination via the ?p= query parameter (1-based).

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

## CLI example

```bash
echo '{
  "url": "https://co.computrabajo.com/trabajo-de-contador",
  "proxyConfiguration": {
    "useApifyProxy": true
  }
}' |
apify call ocrad/computrabajo-jobs-scraper --silent --output-dataset

```

## MCP server setup

```json
{
    "mcpServers": {
        "apify": {
            "type": "http",
            "url": "https://mcp.apify.com/?tools=fetch-actor-details,ocrad/computrabajo-jobs-scraper"
        }
    }
}
```

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).
