## What's an Apify Actor?

An Actor is a serverless cloud program that runs on the Apify platform. It has two run modes.
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.

Apify vocabulary and the platform model are defined once, in the agent quickstart at https://apify.com/agents.md.

## 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.

Do not guess an integration path. Every one of them is in the agent quickstart at https://apify.com/agents.md: the Apify MCP server, Agent Skills with the Apify CLI, the JavaScript and Python clients, the REST API, and the account-free path for an agent with no human to sign in. It also carries the rule on stating cost before the first paid run.

For examples already wired to this Actor's own input schema, see the [API](#api) section below.

Each client library has reference documentation the quickstart does not restate: [JavaScript/TypeScript](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/js/docs.md) (`npm install apify-client`) and [Python](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/python/docs.md) (`pip install apify-client`).

# README

## Visa Sponsor Jobs: H-1B (H1B) Employers With Open Roles

Find open jobs at companies that sponsor US work visas. Each job comes straight from the employer's career site and
is matched to the employer's public H-1B filing record from the US Department of Labor: how many H-1B filings it
made, the job titles it filed for, and the wage it filed for a similar title.

Type a few title keywords and press Start. You get one row per open job at an employer with H-1B filings, newest
first.

> This is an unofficial tool, not affiliated with the Department of Labor, USCIS or any employer. A past H-1B filing
> does not mean a given job will be sponsored. Always confirm with the employer before you apply.

### What people use it for

- **International job seekers:** focus your search on employers that file for H-1B workers in your field.
- **Career advisors and university career offices:** keep a fresh list of open roles at sponsoring employers.
- **Recruiters and researchers:** see which hiring companies file most and what wages they file.

### Input

| Field | What it does |
|---|---|
| **Title keywords** | Search open jobs whose title contains any of these words, like `software engineer`. |
| **Location keywords** | Keep jobs whose location contains any of these, like `Remote` or `Texas`. |
| **Remote jobs only** | Keep only jobs marked remote. |
| **Minimum H-1B filings by the employer** | Keep only employers with at least this many certified H-1B filings in the data. Default 5. |
| **First seen within (days)** | Only jobs our index first saw in the last N days. |
| **Max results** | A cap on how many jobs one run returns, newest first. |
| **Only jobs not seen in my earlier runs** | Returns only new postings. Pair with a daily schedule for alerts. |

### Output

One item per job, with a `sponsor` block:

```json
{
  "company": "Cisco",
  "title": "Software Engineer",
  "location": "San Jose, California, US",
  "remote": false,
  "firstSeenAt": "2026-10-24",
  "url": "https://cisco.wd5.myworkdayjobs.com/Cisco_Careers/job/...",
  "sponsor": {
    "employerOnFilings": "Cisco Systems, Inc.",
    "h1bFilings": 300,
    "titleOnFilings": "Software Engineer",
    "titleFilings": 90,
    "filedMedianWageUsd": 150000,
    "titleMatch": "exact",
    "topFiledTitles": [{ "title": "Software Engineer", "filings": 90, "medianWageUsd": 150000 }]
  },
  "filingsData": ["LCA_Disclosure_Data_FY2026_Q3.xlsx"]
}
```

The figures in the example are illustrative. Real values come from the data.

- `h1bFilings` counts the employer's certified H-1B labor condition applications in the Department of Labor release
  named in `filingsData`. Each release covers the federal fiscal year so far. It is a sign the employer sponsors,
  not a promise.
- `filedMedianWageUsd` is the median yearly wage the employer filed for the matching title. `titleMatch` says whether
  the job title matched a filed title exactly or only looked similar.
- Employers are matched by name, so a company that files under a different legal name may be missed or, rarely,
  matched to a similarly named company. The filed name is shown in `employerOnFilings` so you can check.

### Where the data comes from

- **Jobs:** our daily index of company career sites on Greenhouse, Lever, Ashby, Workable, Recruitee and Workday,
  mostly larger US employers today. For Workday employers it holds each employer's 100 newest jobs.
- **H-1B filings:** the Department of Labor's public LCA disclosure data. It is refreshed when the department
  publishes a new quarter. We keep only employer, job title, occupation, state and filed wage, never names of
  people.

### Pricing

You pay per job returned. The price is on the Pricing tab. **Max results** caps what one run can cost.

Search open jobs whose title contains any of these words, for example "software engineer" or "data scientist".

## `locationKeywords` (type: `array`):

Keep only jobs whose location contains any of these (e.g. Remote, Texas, New York). Empty = all locations.

## `remoteOnly` (type: `boolean`):

Keep only jobs marked remote.

## `minFilings` (type: `integer`):

Keep only employers with at least this many certified H-1B filings (LCAs) in the disclosure data. Higher = employers that sponsor more often.

## `postedWithinDays` (type: `integer`):

Keep jobs our index first saw within this many days. 0 = any age.

## `maxResults` (type: `integer`):

Return at most this many jobs, newest first. 0 = no limit.

## `onlyNew` (type: `boolean`):

Remembers job IDs between your runs (in your own key-value store) and returns only new postings. Pair with an Apify schedule for daily alerts.

## Actor input object example

```json

## MCP server setup

            "type": "http",
            "url": "https://mcp.apify.com/?tools=fetch-actor-details,plainrecordlabs/visa-sponsor-jobs"

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).
