# Data Scientist Skills From Live Job Postings

**Use case:** 

A ready-made run over live data science postings on seven public job boards, reported as one row per skill with employers, seniority and co-skills. In the run behind this page Python appeared in 88% of ads, SQL in 72% and machine learning in 60%, with LLMs already at 20%.

## About this Actor

This example demonstrates how to use [Skills in Demand: What Employers Are Hiring For Now](https://apify.com/precious_bathmat/skills-in-demand.md) with a specific input configuration.

## How to integrate an Actor?

This Task's input is already configured above. Use it as-is rather than inventing a new one.

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 full API examples (JavaScript, Python, CLI, MCP, OpenAPI), see this Task's Actor page: https://apify.com/precious_bathmat/skills-in-demand.md

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`).
