## 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

### What does LinkedIn Jobs Scraper do?

**LinkedIn Jobs Scraper** collects job postings from LinkedIn's public job search, the same pages anyone sees without logging in. Search by **keywords and filters** or paste a **search URL** from your browser, and get every job with its **full description and hiring criteria**. Built for **recruiters, job boards, labour-market researchers and sales teams** that watch who is hiring.

Per result you get:

- 💼 **title**, **company** (with company page), **location**, **posted date**
- 📝 **full description** (plain text and HTML)
- 🎯 **seniority level**, **employment type**, **industries**
- 👥 **applicant count** as LinkedIn shows it, **Easy Apply** and **actively hiring** flags
- 💵 **salary** when LinkedIn publishes one

### How to use it

1. Click **Try for free**: one keyword search ("data engineer" in Berlin, 20 jobs).
2. Add your **keywords** (one search per line) and a **location**, or paste **LinkedIn search URLs**.
3. Set **Max jobs per search** and the filters you need, then press **Start**.
4. Export to CSV/Excel/JSON, or save the input as a **task** and **schedule** it daily with "Past 24 hours".

### Input example

```json
{
    "keywords": [
        "data engineer",
        "machine learning engineer"
    ],
    "location": "Germany",
    "datePosted": "week",
    "workplace": "2",
    "maxJobsPerSearch": 200
}
```

### How much does it cost?

This Actor uses **pay per event**:

| Event | Price |
| --- | --- |
| Job with description and criteria | **$0.0008** each |
| Job (search card only, details off) | **$0.0004** each |
| Summary and error rows | **free** |

- 1,000 jobs with full descriptions cost **$0.80**; without details **$0.40**.
- A job that two of your searches find is returned and billed **once**.
- Apify also charges a tiny standard start fee per run. **Maximum cost per run** caps your spending.

### Data source and terms

- LinkedIn's public, logged-out job search and job pages (`linkedin.com/jobs`). No login, no cookies, no LinkedIn account is used.
- This Actor is **not affiliated with or endorsed by LinkedIn**. Collect only what you are allowed to use, and respect personal data rules (GDPR/CCPA) for any personal data in the results.

### Limitations

- LinkedIn serves at most about **1,000 jobs per search** to logged-out visitors; split big searches by location or filter.
- Salary appears only when the employer publishes it on LinkedIn (mostly US jobs).
- Applicant counts are LinkedIn's rounded wording ("Over 200 applicants").
- Expired or removed jobs are returned without details (`hasDetails: false`).

### FAQ

#### Do I need a LinkedIn account or cookies?

No. The Actor reads only the public job pages that LinkedIn shows to logged-out visitors.

#### Why does it need a proxy?

LinkedIn allows only a few requests per IP address. The Actor switches to a new IP whenever LinkedIn says "too many requests"; Apify datacenter proxies are enough.
