Actors are a software tools running on the Apify platform, for all kinds of web data extraction and automation use cases. 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. In JavaScript/TypeScript projects, use official [JavaScript/TypeScript client](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/js.md): ```bash npm install apify-client ``` In Python projects, use official [Python client library](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/python.md): ```bash pip install apify-client ``` In shell scripts, use [Apify CLI](https://docs.apify.com/cli/docs.md): ````bash # MacOS / Linux curl -fsSL https://apify.com/install-cli.sh | bash # Windows irm https://apify.com/install-cli.ps1 | iex ```bash In AI frameworks, you might use the [Apify MCP server](https://docs.apify.com/platform/integrations/mcp.md). If your project is in a different language, use 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 ## Job Board Scraper — Greenhouse, Lever, Ashby & Workday (ATS Aggregator) A single **job scraper** that aggregates public **jobs data** across four major applicant tracking systems — **Greenhouse**, **Lever**, **Ashby** and **Workday** — then normalizes every posting into one schema, de-duplicates roles that appear on more than one board, and (in monitor mode) emits **hiring signals** when a company opens or closes reqs. It reads only official, public job-board endpoints (the same JSON these career sites load in your browser). It does **not** touch any login-gated page and it **filters personal data** out of the output by design. - **Greenhouse API** — `boards-api.greenhouse.io` public board API - **Lever postings** — `api.lever.co/v0/postings` public postings API - **Ashby** — `api.ashbyhq.com/posting-api/job-board` public posting API - **Workday scraper** — public `/wday/cxs/{tenant}/{site}/jobs` career-site search endpoint ### Use cases - **B2B sales & market intent** — "who is hiring a Salesforce admin / a Kubernetes SRE / a RevOps lead right now" is a strong buying signal. Monitor mode turns new reqs into `jobs_added` events you can route to sales. - **Recruiting & talent mapping** — track competitor headcount plans and open roles by department and location across every ATS at once. - **Salary / compensation research** — capture `salary_min` / `salary_max` where the board exposes it (Ashby and Lever frequently do; pay-transparency roles on others). - **Job-board aggregation** — build a clean, de-duplicated jobs feed from many companies and many ATS platforms without writing four different scrapers. ### Input ```jsonc { "targets": [ { "ats": "greenhouse", "token": "stripe", "company": "Stripe" }, { "ats": "lever", "token": "palantir", "company": "Palantir" }, { "ats": "ashby", "token": "ramp", "company": "Ramp" }, { "ats": "workday", "token": "salesforce", "company": "Salesforce", "workday": { "host": "salesforce.wd12.myworkdayjobs.com", "tenant": "salesforce", "site": "External_Career_Site" } } ], "includeDescription": false, // true = add PII-scrubbed plain-text description (max 5000 chars) "mode": "snapshot", // "snapshot" | "monitor" "maxJobsPerTarget": 0 // 0 = all public postings } ```` **Finding the token/host for each ATS** | ATS | `token` is… | Extra | | --- | --- | --- | | greenhouse | board token in `boards.greenhouse.io/` | — | | lever | slug in `jobs.lever.co/` | — | | ashby | slug in `jobs.ashbyhq.com/` | — | | workday | tenant name | also set `workday.host` / `workday.tenant` / `workday.site` from the public career-site URL `https:////` | ### Output Every job is normalized to the same whitelist of fields (no raw source JSON is ever passed through): ```jsonc { "ats": "ashby", "company": "Ramp", "job_id": "…", "canonical_key": "sha1(company|title|location)", "title": "Customer Activation Manager | Enterprise", "department": "Sales", "team": null, "location": "New York", "locations": ["New York", "Remote (US)"], "remote": false, "salary_min": 147000, "salary_max": 262000, "salary_currency": "USD", "posted_at": "2026-05-11T12:47:52.238Z", "updated_at": null, "url": "https://jobs.ashbyhq.com/ramp/…", "description_text": null, "sources": [ { "ats": "ashby", "company": "Ramp", "job_id": "…", "url": "https://…" } ] } ``` ### De-duplication & hiring signals **De-dupe.** The same role can appear multiple times (posted per-shift, or listed on two ATS during a migration). Items sharing a `canonical_key` — `sha1(company | normalized_title | primary_location)` — collapse into the single most complete record, and every origin is kept in `sources[]`. **Monitor mode.** Set `"mode": "monitor"`. The actor stores a per-company snapshot (the set of `canonical_key`s) in a persistent key-value store and, on the next run, emits signal items: ```jsonc { "type": "signal", "event": "jobs_added", "company": "Stripe", "count": 5, "titles": ["…"], "total_active": 123, "ts": "…" } { "type": "signal", "event": "jobs_removed", "company": "Stripe", "count": 2, "titles": ["…"], "total_active": 123, "ts": "…" } ``` Job items have no `type` field; signal items are tagged `"type": "signal"` and operational records (a board that could not be fetched) are tagged `"type": "status"`, so all three are easy to filter apart in the dataset. ### Compliance - **Public endpoints only.** The actor calls the official, public job-board APIs that these career sites serve to anonymous browsers. It never accesses `/admin`, applicant, or any login-gated page, and for Workday it only calls the public CXS search endpoint — never an authentication host. - **Personal data is filtered out.** Output is a strict field whitelist: recruiter names, contact emails and similar fields are never mapped. When `includeDescription` is enabled, the description text is additionally run through an email/phone scrubber before it is stored. - **robots.txt** is fetched and logged for each host as a courtesy trace. - **Your responsibility.** You should review each ATS provider's Terms of Service and each target company's terms before scraping at scale, and confirm your use complies with applicable law (including data-protection rules in your jurisdiction). This actor is a tool; how you use it is up to you. ### FAQ **Which ATS platforms are supported?** Greenhouse, Lever, Ashby and Workday public boards. **Do I need an API key or login?** No. Only public endpoints are used; no authentication. **Does it use a headless browser?** No — it is pure HTTP/JSON, which is fast and cheap. **Can it fetch full job descriptions?** Yes, set `includeDescription: true`. Descriptions are converted to plain text, scrubbed of emails/phone numbers, and truncated to 5000 characters. **How does Workday pagination work?** The actor pages the public CXS endpoint 20 results at a time. Workday only returns the true total on the first page, which the actor accounts for. **What if one company or ATS fails?** Each target is isolated — a failure is recorded as a `status` item (e.g. `endpoint_unavailable`, `rate_limited`, `workday_probe_failed`) and the run continues. ### Local development ```bash npm install npm test # unit tests (sanitize / normalize / dedupe / signals / schema) npm run typecheck apify run # or: npx tsx src/main.ts (reads storage/key_value_stores/default/INPUT.json) ``` # Actor input Schema ## `targets` (type: `array`): ATS boards to aggregate. Each item: { ats, token, company, \[workday:{host,tenant,site}] }. ats is one of greenhouse|lever|ashby|workday. token is the public board token (Greenhouse board token, Lever/Ashby company slug). For workday, also provide the host/tenant/site of the public career site. ## `includeDescription` (type: `boolean`): When true, output description\_text (HTML converted to plain text, PII stripped, truncated to 5000 chars). Default false to keep payloads small and minimize data. ## `mode` (type: `string`): snapshot = output the current normalized jobs. monitor = compare against the previous run (stored in the key-value store) and emit jobs\_added / jobs\_removed hiring signals. ## `maxJobsPerTarget` (type: `integer`): Cap on jobs fetched per target. 0 = no cap (fetch all public postings). ## Actor input object example ```json { "targets": [ { "ats": "greenhouse", "token": "stripe", "company": "Stripe" }, { "ats": "lever", "token": "palantir", "company": "Palantir" }, { "ats": "ashby", "token": "ramp", "company": "Ramp" }, { "ats": "workday", "token": "salesforce", "company": "Salesforce", "workday": { "host": "salesforce.wd12.myworkdayjobs.com", "tenant": "salesforce", "site": "External_Career_Site" } } ], "includeDescription": false, "mode": "snapshot", "maxJobsPerTarget": 0 } ``` # API You can run this Actor programmatically using our API.
