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. For more details, see Apify documentation as [Markdown index](https://docs.apify.com/llms.txt) and [Markdown full-text](https://docs.apify.com/llms-full.txt). # README ### Unstop Jobs & Internship Scraper Extract hackathons, jobs, internships, competitions, quizzes, scholarships, workshops, and conferences from [Unstop](https://unstop.com/) (formerly Dare2Compete) — India's largest platform for student and early-career opportunities.

Unstop lists jobs, internships, hackathons, case competitions, quizzes, scholarships, workshops, and conferences, most aimed at students and early-career professionals across India. You can search by keyword, browse by opportunity type, or paste Unstop URLs directly. This makes the actor a practical **Unstop API alternative** for anyone who needs Unstop's opportunity data outside the website — recruiters, campus placement teams, hackathon organizers, and researchers tracking student engagement trends. - 🔍 **Keyword search** — matches across opportunity titles and organizer names (e.g. searching "finance" also surfaces listings from organizers like "Indexia Finance") - 🗂️ **8 opportunity types** — Hackathons, Competitions, Jobs, Internships, Quizzes, Scholarships, Workshops, and Conferences, selectable individually or combined - 🔗 **Direct URL support** — paste a listing URL (e.g. `unstop.com/hackathons`) to collect a whole type, or a single-opportunity URL to grab exactly one - 💰 **Prize and fee data** — cash prize amounts (with currency symbol), and whether registration is Free or Paid - 📊 **Registration signals** — live registration counts per opportunity, useful for gauging popularity and deadlines - 🎯 **Eligibility and skill tags** — structured eligibility labels (Undergraduate, Fresher, Engineering Students, etc.) and required-skill tags per listing - 🔄 **Schedule recurring runs** — track newly posted opportunities daily or weekly with [Apify scheduling](https://docs.apify.com/platform/schedules) - 🔗 **API access and integrations** — connect to Google Sheets, Zapier, Make, webhooks, or any workflow via the [Apify API](https://docs.apify.com/api/v2) ### What data can you extract from Unstop? | Field | Description | |-------|-------------| | `title` | Opportunity title | | `opportunityType` | hackathons, competitions, jobs, internships, quizzes, scholarships, workshops, or conferences | | `organizer` | Hosting company, institution, or organization | | `deadline` / `deadlineText` | Registration close date (ISO 8601) and the original human-readable text (e.g. "9 days left") | | `status` | live, closed, or upcoming | | `prize` | Cash prize with currency symbol, when listed | | `registrationFee` | Free or Paid | | `registrationCount` | Number of registrations so far | | `eligibility` | Eligibility labels (Undergraduate, Postgraduate, Fresher, etc.) | | `mode` / `location` | online or offline, plus city/state for offline opportunities | | `tags` | Topic and skill tags | | `url` | Direct link to the opportunity page on Unstop | Some fields — `prize`, `location`, and `organizerType` — are populated only when Unstop lists them for that opportunity, and are `null` otherwise. Jobs and quizzes, for example, rarely carry a cash prize. ### How to scrape Unstop 1. Go to the [Unstop Jobs & Internship Scraper](https://apify.com/parsebird/unstop-jobs-internships-scraper) page on Apify Store 2. Click **Try for free** to open the Actor console 3. Leave the defaults to collect the newest hackathons, or enter a **Search keyword** and pick one or more **Opportunity types** 4. Alternatively, paste Unstop URLs into **Start URLs** to target a specific listing page or single opportunity 5. Set **Max Results** to control how many opportunities to collect (0 = no cap) 6. Click **Start** and wait for the run to finish 7. Download your data in **JSON, CSV, Excel**, or connect via the **Apify API** ### Input parameters | Parameter | Type | Required | Default | Description | |-----------|------|----------|---------|-------------| | `searchKeyword` | string | No | `""` | Word or phrase to search across opportunity titles and organizers.

You only pay for opportunities actually returned. **Cost examples (Free plan):** | Opportunities | Cost | |----------------|------| | 100 (default run) | $0.35 | | 500 | $1.75 | | 1,000 | $3.50 | | 5,000 | $17.50 | Apify offers a **free trial** with $5 of platform credits — enough to scrape over 1,400 opportunities at no cost. ### Is it legal to scrape Unstop? This Actor extracts publicly available opportunity listings from [Unstop.com](https://unstop.com/) via the same search endpoint the website itself uses to render its listing pages. It does not bypass login walls, access private accounts, or collect personal user data — only opportunity details that organizers have made public for visibility and registration. Scraping publicly available data is generally considered legal based on precedent, including the US Ninth Circuit's decision in *hiQ Labs v. LinkedIn*. Users are responsible for ensuring their use of scraped data complies with applicable laws and [Unstop's Terms of Service](https://unstop.com/terms-conditions). For more information, read Apify's blog post on [web scraping legality](https://blog.apify.com/is-web-scraping-legal/). ### FAQ **Does the keyword search match organizer names, not just titles?** Yes. `searchKeyword` matches across both opportunity titles and organizer names, so searching "finance" also returns listings organized by companies like "Indexia Finance" even if "finance" isn't in the title. **Can I collect opportunities from more than one type in a single run?** Yes. Select multiple values in `opportunityTypes` (e.g. `["hackathons", "competitions", "internships"]`) and the actor collects from all of them, up to your `maxResults` cap. **What happens if I provide both a search keyword and Start URLs?** Start URLs take priority — when `startUrls` is set, `opportunityTypes` is ignored. The keyword still applies when browsing by type without Start URLs. **Can I scrape a single opportunity instead of a whole listing?** Yes. Paste the direct URL of the opportunity (e.g. `https://unstop.com/hackathons/some-hackathon-name-123456`) into `startUrls` and the actor returns just that one record. **Why are `prize`, `location`, or `organizerType` sometimes null?** Unstop only populates these fields when the organizer provides that information. Jobs and quizzes rarely carry a cash prize, and online-only opportunities have no physical location. **Can I schedule recurring runs?** Yes. Use [Apify scheduling](https://docs.apify.com/platform/schedules) to run the Unstop Jobs & Internship Scraper daily or weekly and catch newly posted opportunities. Combine with [webhooks](https://docs.apify.com/platform/integrations/webhooks) or [integrations](https://docs.apify.com/platform/integrations) to automate your pipeline. **Can I access the data via API?** Yes. Every run produces a dataset accessible via the [Apify API](https://docs.apify.com/api/v2). Integrate with Python, JavaScript, Google Sheets, Zapier, Make, or any HTTP-capable tool. See the [API tab](https://apify.com/parsebird/unstop-jobs-internships-scraper/api) for code examples. Found an issue or have a feature request?
