## 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`).

##### Copy to your AI assistant

Copy this block into ChatGPT, Claude, Cursor, or any LLM to start using this actor: Actor ID `parsebird/ethosia-jobs-scraper` on Apify. Call it with `ApifyClient` — e.g. `client.actor("parsebird/ethosia-jobs-scraper").call(run_input={"startUrls": [{"url": "https://ethosia.co.il/job-sitemap.xml"}], "maxItems": 10})` or with `searchQuery`/`searchQueries` (keyword search), `location`/`locations` (filter by published location text), `inputs` (an array of {id, query, location, urls} for fully custom targets), `monitorMode` (`snapshot` or `compare`) with a `stateKey` to track changes across scheduled runs, plus filters (`category`/`categories`, `skills`, `seniorities`, `experienceMin`/`experienceMax`, `salaryMin`/`salaryMax`, `remote`, `languages`) and `sortBy`/`sortOrder`. Each dataset item returns `title`, `url`, `applyUrl`, `location`, `description`, `requirements`, `category`, `seniority`, `postedDate`, `remote`/`remoteType`, `status`, and — in monitoring runs — `changeType` (`NEW`/`UPDATED`/`UNCHANGED`/`REMOVED`), `changedFields`, `firstSeenAt`, and `lastSeenAt`. Full field reference and the API spec are on the Actor's API tab, and you can get an Apify API token from the Integrations tab of your Apify account.

#### What does Ethosia Israel Tech Jobs Scraper do?

[Ethosia](https://ethosia.co.il/) is a long-running Israeli HR and recruitment agency that posts hundreds of open tech, biotech, and corporate roles. This actor turns its public listings into a structured, monitorable feed:

- 🔍 **Flexible discovery** — start from the job sitemap, a single job URL, a category/listing page, or a keyword search; combine several searches and locations with batch mode.
- 📋 **Full job detail extraction** — title, description, a separately-detected requirements block, location, category, seniority, experience range, apply link, and posted/modified dates.
- 🛰️ **Change monitoring** — run on a [schedule](https://docs.apify.com/platform/schedules) with a `stateKey` to get only what's new, updated, or removed since the last run, instead of re-reading the same listings.
- 🎯 **Rich filtering** — location, category, skills, seniority, experience range, salary range, remote/hybrid, and language, all matched against Ethosia's own published text (nothing invented).
- ⚡ **No browser needed** — Ethosia has no bot protection, so this runs as a lightweight, fast HTTP actor.
- 🔌 **API & integrations** — trigger runs via the [Apify API](https://docs.apify.com/api/v2) or connect to Zapier, Make, and n8n through [Apify integrations](https://apify.com/integrations).

#### What data can you extract from Ethosia?

| Field | Description |
|-------|-------------|
| `title`, `url`, `applyUrl` | Job title, public listing URL, and the source-published application link |
| `location`, `category`, `seniority` | Published location text, role classification, and career-stage label |
| `description`, `requirements` | Role description, with a separately detected requirements section when the listing has one |
| `postedDate`, `modifiedDate` | Source-published posting and last-modified timestamps |
| `experience`, `experienceMin`, `experienceMax` | Published experience requirement, parsed into a numeric range when possible |
| `remote`, `remoteType` | Explicit remote/hybrid work evidence detected in the listing text |
| `salary`, `salaryMin`, `salaryMax` | Published salary evidence, when Ethosia discloses it (rare — never invented) |
| `changeType`, `changedFields`, `firstSeenAt`, `lastSeenAt` | Monitoring fields: what changed since the last run with this `stateKey`, and when the role was first/last observed |

#### How to use Ethosia Israel Tech Jobs Scraper

1. Click **Try for free** on the Actor page, or start a run via the API.
2. Choose a discovery source: leave the default **job sitemap** in Start URLs, add a **Search query**, set a **Location**, or define **Advanced targets** for full control.
3. Optionally narrow results with **Category**, **Skills**, **Seniority**, **Experience**, **Salary**, **Remote only**, or **Languages** filters.
4. For recurring monitoring, set **Monitor mode** to *Compare to saved state* and give it a **State key** — then schedule the Actor to run daily or weekly and it will return only new, updated, or removed roles each time.
5. Click **Start** and open the **Dataset** tab — export results as JSON, CSV, Excel, or XML, or pull them via the [Apify API](https://docs.apify.com/api/v2).

#### How much does it cost to run Ethosia Israel Tech Jobs Scraper?

This Actor uses [pay-per-event pricing](https://docs.apify.com/platform/actors/publishing/monetize#pay-per-event-pricing-model) — you pay per job row returned, not for compute time.

| Event | Free / default | Bronze | Silver | Gold |
|-------|----------------|--------|--------|------|
| `job-scraped` (per 1,000) | $0.99 | $0.89 | $0.79 | $0.79 |

A default run returning 10 jobs costs about a cent. Monitoring runs on Compare mode typically return far fewer rows than a full snapshot (only what changed), which keeps recurring-schedule costs low. [Apify plans](https://apify.com/pricing) include monthly platform usage credits that apply toward these events.

#### Input

| Parameter | Type | Required | Default | Description |
|-----------|------|----------|---------|-------------|
| startUrls | array of URLs | No | job sitemap | Sitemap, listing, or individual job page URLs |
| searchQuery / searchQueries | string / array | No | — | Keyword search; batch queries take precedence |
| location / locations | string / array | No | — | Filter by published location text; batch locations take precedence |
| inputs | array of objects | No | — | Explicit `{id, query, location, urls}` targets, replacing the shorthand above |
| batchMode | enum | No | `cartesian` | How to combine batch queries × batch locations |
| monitorMode | enum | No | `snapshot` | `snapshot` (current results) or `compare` (only what changed) |
| stateKey | string | No | `ethosia-default` | Name for a recurring watchlist |
| maxItems | integer | No | 10 | Cap on unique jobs returned |
| category / categories, skills, seniorities | string/array | No | — | Match published classification text |
| experienceMin / experienceMax, salaryMin / salaryMax | number | No | — | Numeric range filters |
| remote | boolean | No | `false` | Keep only listings with explicit remote/hybrid evidence |
| sortBy / sortOrder | enum | No | `postedDate` / `desc` | Final dataset ordering |

console.log(items.filter((i) => i.changeType === "NEW"));
```

#### Is it legal to scrape Ethosia?

Ethosia publishes its job listings publicly for job seekers to browse without a login. This Actor only reads publicly visible pages. Scraping publicly available data is generally considered legal, but you're responsible for how you use the data and for complying with Ethosia's terms of use and applicable law. See the Apify blog on [web scraping and the law](https://blog.apify.com/is-web-scraping-legal/) for more background.

#### FAQ

**Why is `companyName` usually empty?**
Ethosia is a recruitment agency — it deliberately keeps the hiring company's identity private on most listings and routes applications through its own portal. The Actor never guesses a company name; it only reports what Ethosia discloses.

**Why is salary usually empty?**
Ethosia rarely publishes salary figures on its listings. This Actor only fills `salary`/`salaryMin`/`salaryMax` when the page actually shows a number — it never invents a value to satisfy a filter.

**How does monitoring work?**
Set `monitorMode` to `compare` and give the run a `stateKey`. Each run compares the current results against what was saved under that key last time and reports `NEW`, `UPDATED`, or `REMOVED` roles (plus `UNCHANGED` if you enable `includeUnchanged`). Use the same `stateKey` on every scheduled run of the same watchlist.

**What does `remote`/`remoteType` detect?**
The Actor looks for explicit multi-word phrases in the listing text (e.g. "hybrid work", "עבודה מהבית") rather than bare words like "remote" or "hybrid" alone, since those also appear in unrelated technical terms (e.g. "hybrid cloud architecture").

**Can I schedule this to watch for new roles automatically?**
Yes — use Apify's [Scheduler](https://docs.apify.com/platform/schedules) with `monitorMode: "compare"` and a fixed `stateKey` to get only new/changed listings on every run.

**Found a listing that doesn't parse correctly?**
Please open an issue on the Actor's Issues tab with the job URL — Ethosia's page layout is fairly consistent, but we actively maintain this Actor.
