## What's an Apify Actor?

Actors are a software tools running on the Apify platform, for all kinds of web data extraction and automation use cases.
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.
Actors are written with capital "A".

## 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.
The best way to integrate Actors is as follows.

In JavaScript/TypeScript projects, use official [JavaScript/TypeScript client](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/js.md):

```bash
npm install apify-client
```

In Python projects, use official [Python client library](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/python.md):

```bash
pip install apify-client
```

In shell scripts, use [Apify CLI](https://docs.apify.com/cli/docs.md):

````bash
# MacOS / Linux
curl -fsSL https://apify.com/install-cli.sh | bash
# Windows
irm https://apify.com/install-cli.ps1 | iex
```bash

In AI frameworks, you might use the [Apify MCP server](https://docs.apify.com/platform/integrations/mcp.md).

If your project is in a different language, use the [REST API](https://docs.apify.com/api/v2.md).

For usage examples, see the [API](#api) section below.

## LinkedIn Jobs Scraper

Scrape LinkedIn job listings at **$0.005 per job** — search by keyword, location, company, posted-date, easy-apply and more. Pay only for results you receive.

### Features

- **Cheap LinkedIn jobs scraping** — $0.005/job ($5 per 1,000 jobs)
- **Multi-keyword search** — run up to 5 queries in one go, results merged and deduplicated
- **Rich job data** — title, company, location, salary range, job type, remote flag, posted date, direct apply URL
- **Full descriptions** — optional flag to fetch complete markdown/HTML descriptions per posting
- **Targeted search** — filter by specific LinkedIn company IDs, distance radius, hours since posting, easy-apply, remote, job type
- **Salary normalization** — auto-convert hourly/monthly pay to annual for easy comparison
- **Pagination** — offset support for sweeping through large result sets
- **Auto-deduplication** — same job listed twice is collapsed to one row
- **Pay-per-result** — billed only on jobs returned in the dataset, never on failures
- **Spending cap** — `ACTOR_MAX_TOTAL_CHARGE_USD` honored to prevent runaway cost

### Pricing

| Event | Price |
|---|---|
| `job-scraped` | **$0.005** per job |

100 jobs → $0.50. 1,000 jobs → $5.00. 10,000 jobs → $50.

### Inputs

| Field | Type | Description |
|---|---|---|
| `searchTerm` | string | Job title or keyword (e.g. `"software engineer"`) |
| `searchTerms` | array (max 5) | Multiple OR-merged queries |
| `location` | string | City, state, or country (e.g. `"New York, NY"`) |
| `maxResults` | int (1–5000) | Max jobs per search term (default 100) |
| `isRemote` | bool | Remote-only filter |
| `jobType` | enum | fulltime / parttime / contract / internship / temporary |
| `hoursOld` | int | Only jobs posted within last N hours |
| `distance` | int | Search radius in miles |
| `offset` | int | Skip first N results |
| `easyApply` | bool | One-click apply jobs only |
| `linkedinFetchDescription` | bool | Fetch full descriptions |
| `linkedinCompanyIds` | array | Restrict to specific company IDs |
| `descriptionFormat` | enum | `markdown` (default) or `html` |
| `enforceAnnualSalary` | bool | Normalize salaries to annual |
| `proxyConfiguration` | object | Apify proxy (residential recommended) |

### Output

Each row contains: `title`, `company`, `location`, `job_url`, `job_url_direct`, `description`, `salary_min`, `salary_max`, `salary_currency`, `salary_interval`, `job_type`, `is_remote`, `date_posted`, `company_industry`, `company_logo`, `skills`, `experience_range`, `vacancy_count`, `work_from_home_type`, plus search metadata.

### Tips

- Up to **5,000 jobs per search term**, **25,000 per run** (5 terms × 5,000).
- For runs above 100 jobs, always use **residential proxies** — LinkedIn rate-limits IPs aggressively.
- Large runs (>1,000 jobs) may take 10+ minutes; bump the run timeout to 3,600 s if needed.
- LinkedIn may return fewer than requested — you're only charged for jobs actually delivered.
- Combining `hoursOld` with `easyApply` is unsupported by LinkedIn; the scraper auto-drops `easyApply` and warns.
- Set `ACTOR_MAX_TOTAL_CHARGE_USD` env var to cap spend per run.

# Actor input Schema

## `searchTerm` (type: `string`):

Job title, keyword, or skill to search for (e.g. "software engineer", "data analyst").
## `searchTerms` (type: `array`):

Run up to 5 queries in one go — results are merged and deduplicated. Each row is tagged with the term that surfaced it. Cost scales linearly. Leave empty to use the single Search Term above.
## `location` (type: `string`):

City, state, or country (e.g. "New York, NY", "London", "Remote"). Leave empty to search globally.
## `maxResults` (type: `integer`):

Maximum jobs to return per search term (1–5000). Runs above 100 require residential proxies — LinkedIn rate-limits IPs aggressively. Large runs (>1000) may take 10+ minutes.
## `isRemote` (type: `boolean`):

Return only remote job listings.
## `jobType` (type: `string`):

Filter by employment type.
## `hoursOld` (type: `integer`):

Only return jobs posted within the last N hours (24 = last day, 168 = last week). Cannot be combined with Easy Apply.
## `distance` (type: `integer`):

Search radius in miles from the location. Use 0 for exact location only.
## `offset` (type: `integer`):

Skip the first N results — useful for paginating large result sets.
## `easyApply` (type: `boolean`):

Return only one-click apply jobs. Cannot be combined with Posted Within.
## `linkedinFetchDescription` (type: `boolean`):

Fetch the full job description and direct apply URL for each posting. Slower but richer output.
## `linkedinCompanyIds` (type: `array`):

Restrict the search to specific companies by their LinkedIn company ID (e.g. ["1441", "2382910"]). Leave empty to search all companies.
## `descriptionFormat` (type: `string`):

Format for description text in the output.
## `enforceAnnualSalary` (type: `boolean`):

Convert hourly/monthly salaries to annual equivalents for easier comparison.
## `proxyConfiguration` (type: `object`):

Residential proxies recommended — LinkedIn rate-limits IPs after ~100 results.
