## 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.

> **Unofficial.** This Actor is not affiliated with, endorsed by, or sponsored by Fantastic Jobs. It collects publicly available data only.

This actor scrapes job listings from Fantastic Jobs, extracting company name, job title, location, job URL, and company logo URL. It requires only the start URL and optionally a maximum number of items.

The actor scrapes job listings from any Fantastic Jobs page by providing a start URL. You can set a maximum number of items to collect, with a free preview limit of 10 items and paid users up to 1,000,000.

[**Open the input and run it**](https://apify.com/parseforge/fantastic-jobs-scraper/input?fpr=vmoqkp). Paste a Fantastic Jobs URL, set maxItems, and the first rows land in under a minute.

| Target Audience | Primary Use Cases |
|---|---|
| job seekers, recruiters, HR analysts, market researchers, data scientists, career coaches | Monitor job postings, analyze hiring trends, build job databases, track competitor hiring, research salary benchmarks, automate job search |

### What this Fantastic Jobs scraper does not do

- **No search functionality.** The actor scrapes whatever is on the page; it does not search across multiple queries or keywords.
- **No pagination beyond the initial page.** Only the listings visible on the provided URL are scraped; the actor does not follow pagination links.
- **No detailed job descriptions.** Only the fields listed (company name, job title, location, job URL, company logo URL) are extracted; full descriptions are not scraped.
- **Rate limiting.** Fantastic Jobs may block excessive requests; use reasonable maxItems and avoid rapid repeated runs.
- **Free preview limit.** Free users are limited to 10 items per run. Paid users can set maxItems up to 1,000,000.

### Fantastic Jobs Data Use Cases

#### Monitor competitor hiring

A market researcher runs the actor with the start URL of a competitor's company page on Fantastic Jobs, sets maxItems to 100, and reads the companyName and jobTitle fields. The decision it supports: which roles the competitor is actively filling.

#### Build a local job database

A career coach scrapes job listings for a specific city by using the Fantastic Jobs search URL for that location, sets maxItems to 500, and collects all fields. The decision it supports: identifying the most in-demand jobs in the area.

#### Track hiring trends over time

A data scientist schedules the actor to run weekly on the Fantastic Jobs homepage, sets maxItems to 1000, and stores the jobTitle and companyName fields. The decision it supports: detecting shifts in job categories and employer activity.

#### Automate job search alerts

A job seeker runs the actor on a saved search URL from Fantastic Jobs, sets maxItems to 50, and uses the jobUrl field to visit new listings. The decision it supports: which new postings to apply for.

***

### Beyond business use cases

- **Research.** Analyze job market trends by scraping multiple pages and comparing fields over time.
- **Journalism.** Investigate hiring patterns in specific industries or regions using the extracted data.
- **Public interest.** Track job availability in local areas to inform community resources.
- **Side projects.** Build a personal job alert system or a custom job board aggregator.

### Use This Fantastic Jobs Scraper as an API

Call it from anything that can send an HTTP request. This returns the dataset in the same response:

```bash
curl -X POST \
  "https://api.apify.com/v2/acts/parseforge~fantastic-jobs-scraper/run-sync-get-dataset-items" \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer $APIFY_TOKEN" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{ "startUrl": "https://fantastic.jobs", "maxItems": 10 }'
```

`$APIFY_TOKEN` is your Apify API token, from Settings in the console. For larger jobs, start the run asynchronously and collect results with a webhook. Client libraries exist for Node.js and Python as `apify-client`, and the full reference is in the [Apify API documentation](https://docs.apify.com/api/v2).

Save a tested input as an Apify Task and attach a [schedule](https://docs.apify.com/platform/schedules) for recurring collection.

***

### Troubleshooting

**No data returned** Verify the start URL is correct and the page contains job listings. Try the default homepage URL.

**Only 10 items scraped** You are on the free tier. Upgrade your Apify account or set maxItems to a higher value if you are a paid user.

**Error: page not found** The URL is invalid or the page no longer exists. Check the URL and try again.

**Empty fields in output** The page structure may have changed. Contact support or try a different URL.

**Rate limit error** Reduce maxItems or add a delay between runs. Avoid running the actor too frequently.

**Something else.** Open an issue with the run ID, your input with any secrets removed, what you expected and what came back, or email parseforge@protonmail.com.

echo '{
  "startUrl": "https://fantastic.jobs",
  "maxItems": 10
}' |
apify call parseforge/fantastic-jobs-scraper --silent --output-dataset

```

## MCP server setup

```json
{

    }
}

```

The hosted server signs you in with OAuth on first connect, so no API token belongs in this config. Clients without OAuth support can send an `Authorization: Bearer <APIFY_API_TOKEN>` header instead, using a token from API & Integrations in Apify Console (https://console.apify.com/settings/integrations).
