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 ### 💛 Idealist Jobs Scraper **Scrape nonprofit and social-impact job listings from [Idealist](https://www.idealist.org)** in seconds. The **Idealist Jobs Scraper** extracts complete, structured job records — full descriptions, salaries, organizations, and locations — ready for recruiting, lead generation, job aggregation, or market research. Run it on demand or on a schedule through the Apify platform, with built-in API access, integrations, and dataset exports in JSON, CSV, Excel, and HTML. ### ✨ What does Idealist Jobs Scraper do? - 🔍 **Keyword search or full coverage** – Search by keywords (job title, skill, organization) or leave the query empty to pull every active nonprofit job. - 📄 **Complete records** – Each result includes the **full untruncated job description**, not a preview. - 💰 **Structured salary data** – Minimum, maximum, period, and currency when published. - 🏢 **Organization details** – Name, type, profile URL, and logo. - 📍 **Rich location info** – City, state, country, geo-coordinates, and remote/hybrid/onsite type. - 🎯 **Categorization** – Job functions, areas of focus, professional level, education, and job type. ### 🛠️ How to use it 1. **Set a search query** (optional) – e.g. `program manager`. Leave empty to scrape all available jobs. 2. **Set Max items** – How many jobs to return (default `50`). 3. **Run the Actor** – Get structured results in your dataset within seconds. ### 📥 Input | Field | Type | Description | |---|---|---| | `query` | string | Optional keywords to filter listings. Empty = all jobs. | | `maxItems` | integer | Maximum number of jobs to scrape (default `50`). | Example input: ```json { "query": "program manager", "maxItems": 50 } ```` ### 📊 Output Each job is saved as a structured JSON item. You can download the dataset in various formats such as JSON, HTML, CSV, or Excel. ```json { "id": "68c7021104e8428da505b114788b3c50", "title": "Program Manager", "url": "https://www.idealist.org/en/nonprofit-job/68c7021104e8428da505b114788b3c50-program-manager-vision-to-learn-sarasota", "description": "Vision To Learn POSITION TITLE: Program Manager LOCATION: Sarasota, Florida ...", "published": 1781823815, "organization": { "id": "16416ea305144488b7dbf4d20c182894", "name": "Vision To Learn", "type": "NONPROFIT", "url": "https://www.idealist.org/en/nonprofit/16416ea305144488b7dbf4d20c182894-vision-to-learn-los-angeles", "logoUrl": "https://cdn.filestackcontent.com/0eiJ02IRVSjxshd0z0r0" }, "location": { "type": "ONSITE", "city": "Sarasota", "state": "FL", "country": "US", "geo": { "lat": 27.336465, "lng": -82.531012 }, "remoteOk": false }, "jobType": ["FULL_TIME"], "professionalLevel": "NONE", "education": "FOUR_YEAR_DEGREE", "functions": ["COMMUNITY_ENGAGEMENT_OUTREACH", "OPERATIONS", "PROGRAM_MANAGEMENT"], "areasOfFocus": ["EDUCATION", "HEALTH_MEDICINE"], "salary": { "minimum": "70000.00", "maximum": "75000.00", "period": "YEAR", "currency": "USD" } } ``` #### Data fields | Field | Description | |---|---| | `id` | Unique job identifier | | `title` | Job title | | `url` | Link to the job posting | | `description` | Full job description (HTML as posted) | | `published` | Publish date (Unix timestamp) | | `organization` | Org name, type, profile URL, and logo | | `location` | City, state, country, geo-coordinates, remote/onsite/hybrid type | | `jobType` | Full-time, part-time, contract, etc. | | `professionalLevel` | Seniority level | | `education` | Required education level | | `functions` | Job functions / categories | | `areasOfFocus` | Cause areas (education, health, environment, etc.) | | `salary` | Minimum, maximum, period, and currency (when published) | ### 💵 How much does it cost? This Actor uses **pay-per-result** pricing: **$5 per 1,000 jobs** ($0.005 per job). You only pay for the jobs you actually receive — there is no per-run start fee. Scraping 50 jobs costs about **$0.25**. ### 💡 Tips - Leave `query` empty and raise `maxItems` to build a complete dataset of active nonprofit jobs. - Use the `remoteOk` and `location` fields to filter for remote roles after scraping. - Schedule recurring runs to monitor newly posted positions and feed downstream systems. ### ❓ FAQ & support **Is scraping Idealist legal?** This Actor collects only publicly available job listings. You are responsible for complying with Idealist's Terms of Service and applicable laws, and for how you use the extracted data. **How fresh is the data?** Results reflect the live, currently active listings at the time of each run. **Found a bug or need a custom field?** Open an issue on the Actor's Issues tab — feedback and custom solution requests are welcome. # Actor input Schema ## `query` (type: `string`): Optional keywords to search job listings (e.g. job title, skill, organization).
