## 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 Internshala Scraper do?

This Actor scrapes [internshala.com](https://internshala.com/) search results for both content types the site offers — **internships** (paid, monthly stipend, popular with students) and **jobs** (annual salary, explicitly fresher-friendly) — and normalizes every listing into one schema.

- 🔎 **Category + city search** — any free-text profile (Marketing, Web Development, Data Science, Content Writing, and 100+ others) crossed with any Indian city
- 🏠 **Work-from-home and part-time filters** — narrow to fully remote or part-time roles specifically
- 💰 **Stipend / salary tiers** — minimum monthly stipend for internships, minimum annual salary (in lakhs) for jobs
- 🏅 **Badges** — actively hiring, early applicant, job offer on completion (PPO), and for-women listings, detected directly from the page where Internshala shows them
- 📄 **Optional full detail mode** — description, complete skills list, perks, number of openings, eligibility text, and application deadline (converted from IST to UTC) for every listing
- ⏱️ **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

### What data can you extract?

| Field | Description |
|-------|-------------|
| `title` / `company` / `companyLogoUrl` | Listing title, hiring company, and logo |
| `locations` / `workMode` | City list (or "Work from home"), and `wfh`/`onsite`/`partial_wfh` |

| `description` / `perks` / `whoCanApply` / `openings` / `applicationDeadline` / `aboutCompany` | Full detail-page fields, populated only when `includeDetails` is on (`null`/`[]` otherwise, so your schema stays stable either way) |

### Use cases

- **Lead generation for career services** — build filtered internship/job feeds for a college placement cell or career platform
- **Market research** — track stipend/salary trends by category and city over time with scheduled runs
- **Job aggregation** — feed normalized Internshala listings into your own job board or Slack/email digest
- **Recruitment intelligence** — monitor which companies are actively hiring, offering PPOs, or hiring for women-focused roles in your category
- **Skills demand analysis** — aggregate the `skills` field across hundreds of listings to see what's in demand

### How it works

1. Go to the [Internshala Scraper](https://apify.com/parsebird/internshala-scraper) page on Apify Store
2. Click **Try for free** — new users get a free trial to test the Actor before paying
3. Choose **Internships** or **Jobs**, then enter a **category** and/or **city** (or leave both empty for everything)
4. Optionally enable **work-from-home**/**part-time**, set a minimum **stipend**/**salary**, or pick **badges**
5. Toggle **Include full details** if you need descriptions, perks, and deadlines (slower, richer)
6. Click **Start** — the Actor paginates through matching search results 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/internshala-scraper").call(run_input={
    "mode": "internships",
    "category": "Marketing",
    "location": "Mumbai",
    "minStipend": 8000,
    "maxResults": 100,
})

for item in client.dataset(run["defaultDatasetId"]).iterate_items():
    stipend = item.get("stipend") or {}
    print(f"{item['title']} @ {item['company']} - {stipend.get('raw')}")
```

**JavaScript**

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

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

const run = await client.actor('parsebird/internshala-scraper').call({
    mode: 'internships',
    category: 'Marketing',
    location: 'Mumbai',
    minStipend: 8000,
    maxResults: 100,
});

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

### How much does it cost to run?

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

**Listing scraped** (every run):

| Plan | Price per event | Price per 1,000 |
|------|-----------------|-----------------|
| Free | $0.00199 | $1.99 |
| Bronze | $0.00149 | $1.49 |
| Silver | $0.00119 | $1.19 |
| Gold | $0.00099 | $0.99 |

**Detail fetched** (only charged when `includeDetails` is on, in addition to the listing event):

| Plan | Price per event | Price per 1,000 |
|------|-----------------|-----------------|
| Free / Bronze / Silver | $0.00099 | $0.99 |
| Gold | $0.00079 | $0.79 |

A 500-listing run without details costs about $1.00 (Free) to $0.50 (Gold). The same run with `includeDetails` on costs about $1.50 (Free) to $0.89 (Gold). Start with the free trial and a low `maxResults` to preview results before scaling up.

### FAQ

**Does this cover both internships and jobs?**
Yes — set `mode` to `internships` or `jobs`. Internships return a `stipend` object (monthly); jobs return a `salary` object (annual) and `experienceYears` instead of `durationMonths`.

**What happens if I use an unrecognized category?**
Internshala itself falls back to a broader result set rather than returning zero results for an unrecognized category slug — stick to real category names (Marketing, Web Development, Data Science, Content Writing, Finance, etc.) for a precise match.

**Can I combine multiple filters?**
Yes, most combine freely (e.g. category + city + minimum stipend + a badge). Two verified site-level limitations: `workFromHome` always drops the city filter (Internshala's own URL structure doesn't support combining them), and for Jobs mode specifically, the "job offer" and "fast response" badges don't have a working search filter (they're internship-specific concepts on Internshala's side) — an "Early applicant" badge is still detected directly from the page for both modes.

**Why are `description`, `perks`, etc. null by default?**
Those are detail-page-only fields. Enable `includeDetails` to fetch them — it's slower (one extra request per listing) and costs an additional `detail-scraped` event, so it's off by default.

**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 Internshala?**
Internshala's search results are publicly viewable without login. You're responsible for complying with Internshala'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.
