# Most In-Demand Skills Right Now, From Live Job Ads

**Use case:** 

A ready-made run across every posting on seven public job boards, roughly 1,700 of them, reporting one row per skill: how many postings ask for it, what share of the market that is, which companies are hiring, the entry-to-lead split and what the skill is asked for alongside. A snapshot of what is open right now, not a forecast. Change the role filter to narrow it to your own market.

## About this Actor

## 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`).
