## What's an Apify Actor?

Actors are web data automations that power AI and operations. They run on the Apify platform to scrape websites, process data, connect APIs, and automate workflows.
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.

- **AI agents and MCP clients** — the [Apify MCP server](https://docs.apify.com/integrations/mcp.md) at `https://mcp.apify.com` (remote, streamable HTTP, OAuth on first use).
- **Agentic workflows and local Actor development** — [Agent Skills](https://apify.com/.well-known/agent-skills/index.json) with the [Apify CLI](https://docs.apify.com/cli/docs.md): `npm install -g apify-cli`, then `apify login`.
- **JavaScript/TypeScript projects** — the official [JS/TS client](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/js/docs.md): `npm install apify-client`.
- **Python projects** — the official [Python client](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/python/docs.md): `pip install apify-client`.
- **Any other language** — the [REST API](https://docs.apify.com/api/v2.md).

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

### What does Hirist.tech IT Jobs Scraper do?

This Actor scrapes [hirist.tech](https://www.hirist.tech/), a job board focused specifically on IT and tech roles in India, searching by one or more tech keywords and normalizing every listing into one schema.

- 🔎 **Keyword-based search** — any of Hirist's tech categories (python, react, java, data-science, devops, machine-learning, node-js, aws, android, ios, and many more), each run as its own search
- 📍 **City and experience filters** — narrow to specific Indian tech hubs and an experience band
- ⭐ **Company rating included** — AmbitionBox rating and review count come with every listing, no extra lookup needed
- 💰 **Salary and experience parsed** — structured min/max fields plus the raw display text, with salary correctly marked when a listing hides it
- 📄 **Optional full-description mode** — opens each listing in a real browser tab for the complete job description; off by default so quick sweeps stay fast and cheap
- ⏱️ **Scheduling** — run this Actor daily or weekly via Apify Scheduler to catch newly posted listings
- 🔌 **API access** — trigger runs and pull results programmatically via the Apify API or client libraries
- 📊 **Flexible export** — download results as JSON, CSV, or Excel, or query them via API

### Use cases

- **Recruitment intelligence** — track which companies are hiring for specific tech stacks and how salaries compare
- **Job aggregation** — feed normalized Hirist.tech listings into your own job board or Slack/email digest
- **Market research** — analyze salary and experience trends by keyword and city over time with scheduled runs
- **Skills demand analysis** — aggregate the `skills` field across hundreds of listings to see what's trending
- **Company research** — cross-reference `companyRating`/`companyReviewsCount` before applying or recruiting

### How it works

1. Go to the [Hirist.tech IT Jobs Scraper](https://apify.com/parsebird/hirist-tech-jobs-scraper) page on Apify Store
2. Click **Try for free** — new users get a free trial to test the Actor before paying
3. Enter one or more **keywords** (e.g. `python`, `react`), or leave empty to browse the newest jobs
4. Optionally filter by **city** and **experience band**, and set `maxJobs`/`maxPages` to cap the run
5. Toggle **scrapeDetails** on if you need full descriptions (slower, uses a browser)
6. Click **Start** — the Actor searches and normalizes every listing
7. When the run finishes, download your data as **JSON, CSV, or Excel**, or fetch it via the API

### Use with the Apify API

**Python**

```python
from apify_client import ApifyClient

client = ApifyClient("YOUR_API_TOKEN")

run = client.actor("parsebird/hirist-tech-jobs-scraper").call(run_input={
    "keywords": ["python", "react"],
    "cities": ["bangalore"],
    "experience": "2-5",
    "maxJobs": 100,
})

for item in client.dataset(run["defaultDatasetId"]).iterate_items():
    print(f"{item['title']} @ {item['company']} - {item['salaryRaw']} - {item['experienceRaw']}")
```

**JavaScript**

```javascript
import { ApifyClient } from 'apify-client';

const client = new ApifyClient({ token: 'YOUR_API_TOKEN' });

const run = await client.actor('parsebird/hirist-tech-jobs-scraper').call({
    keywords: ['python', 'react'],
    cities: ['bangalore'],
    experience: '2-5',
    maxJobs: 100,
});

const { items } = await client.dataset(run.defaultDatasetId).listItems();
items.forEach((item) => {
    console.log(`${item.title} @ ${item.company} - ${item.salaryRaw} - ${item.experienceRaw}`);
});
```

### How much does it cost to run?

This Actor uses **Pay-per-event** pricing — you only pay for jobs actually returned, with no separate platform rental fee.

| Plan | Price per event | Price per 1,000 |
|------|-----------------|-----------------|
| Free | $0.0049 | $4.90 |
| Bronze | $0.0045 | $4.50 |
| Silver | $0.0039 | $3.90 |
| Gold | $0.0033 | $3.30 |

One `job-scraped` event is charged for each job successfully normalized and pushed to the dataset — whether or not `scrapeDetails` is on. A 500-job run costs about $2.45 on the Free plan or $1.65 on Gold. Start with the free trial and a low `maxJobs` to preview results before scaling up.

### FAQ

**Do I need `scrapeDetails` on?**
Only if you need the full job description. The default listing feed already includes title, company, rating, location, salary, experience, and skills — that's enough for most lead-gen and analytics use cases, and it's much faster since it doesn't need a browser.

**What happens if I leave `keywords` empty?**
The Actor searches a broad set of popular IT keywords and merges the results, sorted newest-first — Hirist.tech's own search doesn't support keyword-free browsing without being logged in, so this is the closest equivalent.

**Why is `salaryMin`/`salaryMax` sometimes null?**
Many recruiters on Hirist.tech choose not to disclose salary. When that's the case, `salaryHidden` is `true` and `salaryRaw` reads `"Not Disclosed"` rather than showing a fabricated number.

**Can I combine multiple keywords and cities?**
Yes. Each keyword runs its own search; city and experience filters apply to every keyword search. Results are deduplicated by job ID across all combinations.

**Can I schedule recurring runs?**
Yes. Use Apify's [Scheduler](https://docs.apify.com/platform/schedules) to run this Actor daily or weekly and catch newly posted listings.

**Is it legal to scrape Hirist.tech?**
Hirist.tech's search results are publicly viewable without a login. You're responsible for complying with Hirist's Terms of Service for your specific use case. See Apify's [blog post on the legality of web scraping](https://blog.apify.com/is-web-scraping-legal/) for general background.

**Can I access results via API?**
Yes. Every run's dataset is available through the [Apify API](https://docs.apify.com/api/v2) and client libraries (Python, JavaScript) — see the Actor's **API** tab for ready-made snippets.

**Something not working?**
Open an issue on the Actor's **Issues** tab in Apify Console — the ParseBird team monitors it directly.

# Actor input Schema

## `keywords` (type: `array`):

Tech search keywords, e.g. python, react, java, data-science, devops, machine-learning, node-js, aws, android, ios. Each runs its own search. Leave empty to browse the newest jobs across a broad set of popular keywords.

## `cities` (type: `array`):

City filters. Leave empty for all India.

## `experience` (type: `string`):

Experience band.

## `maxJobs` (type: `integer`):

Maximum total jobs across all keywords and cities. 0 = unlimited (bounded by the time budget).

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

Maximum pages to paginate per keyword+city combination (each page pulls up to ~20 jobs). 0 = unlimited.

## `scrapeDetails` (type: `boolean`):

If enabled, opens each job's detail page for the full description (uses a browser, slower). The listing feed already includes title, company, rating, location, salary, experience, and skills, so leave this off for fast, high-volume sweeps.

## `requestDelay` (type: `integer`):

Delay between API page requests in milliseconds.

## `maxConcurrency` (type: `integer`):

Parallel browser tabs for detail-page scraping. Keep at 2-3 to avoid rate limiting.

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

Hirist has minimal bot protection; residential proxies recommended for very high-volume runs.
