## 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

## ATS Jobs API with Visa Sponsorship Tags

Get every open job from company career boards on **Greenhouse, Lever, Ashby, SmartRecruiters and Recruitee** as clean JSON, with each ad tagged for:

- **Visa sponsorship**: `offered`, `refused`, `mixed` or `not_mentioned`, **with the exact sentence** the tag is based on.
- **Relocation support**: yes or no, again with the sentence.
- **Remote regions**: where a remote hire may live (`WORLDWIDE`, `US`, `EMEA`, `APAC`, `DE`, …).

Built for international job seekers, relocation and immigration services, recruiters, and job boards that need to know **"can someone from abroad actually get this job?"** without reading every ad.

### Why the tags matter

Most ads that contain the words "visa sponsorship" are **refusing** it ("Visa sponsorship is not available"). Keyword search gets this backwards. This Actor reads each ad sentence by sentence:

- an **offer** only counts in a sentence that isn't negated ("We offer visa sponsorship");
- a **refusal** is any sentence about visas or work rights that is negated or demands existing rights ("Candidates must be authorized to work in the US", "Future sponsorship for work authorization is not available");
- ads that offer it for one office and refuse it for another are tagged `mixed`.

You always get the evidence sentence, so you can check the tag yourself.

### What you can put in

| You have | Put this in `companies` |
|---|---|
| An ATS board link | `https://boards.greenhouse.io/stripe`, `https://jobs.lever.co/palantir`, `https://jobs.ashbyhq.com/openai`, `https://jobs.smartrecruiters.com/BoschGroup`, `https://acme.recruitee.com` |
| A board slug | `greenhouse:stripe`, `lever:palantir`, `ashby:openai`, `smartrecruiters:BoschGroup`, `recruitee:acme` |
| A company careers page | `https://www.figma.com/careers/`: the ATS link on the page is found for you |
| Just a name | `Figma`: tried as a Greenhouse, Lever and Ashby board |

Then narrow it down with any of these:

- **Keywords:** match the title, or the description too.
- **Locations:** for example `London`, `Germany` or `Remote`.
- **Remote only.**
- **Posted within N days.**
- **Visa filter:** `offered` keeps ads that offer sponsorship; `not_refused` drops ads that rule it out.
- **Limits:** a maximum per company and a maximum in total.

#### Example input

```json
{
  "companies": ["greenhouse:stripe", "ashby:openai", "https://jobs.lever.co/palantir", "Figma"],
  "keywords": ["engineer", "developer"],
  "visaFilter": "not_refused",
  "postedWithinDays": 14
}
```

### What you get

```json
{
  "id": "smartrecruiters:BoschGroup:744000154196709",
  "ats": "smartrecruiters",
  "company": "Bosch Group",
  "title": "Senior Software Engineer",
  "location": "Owatonna, MN, United States",
  "country": "US",
  "workplaceType": "hybrid",
  "employmentType": "Full-time",
  "department": "Engineering",
  "postedAt": "2026-10-07",
  "salary": null,
  "url": "https://jobs.smartrecruiters.com/BoschGroup/744000154196709-senior-software-engineer",
  "applyUrl": "https://jobs.smartrecruiters.com/BoschGroup/744000154196709-senior-software-engineer?oga=true",
  "description": "POSITION\nAs a Senior Software Engineer, you will create software…",
  "visaSponsorship": "refused",
  "visaEvidence": ["Future sponsorship for work authorization is not available."],
  "relocationOffered": false,
  "relocationEvidence": null,
  "remoteRegions": [],
  "scrapedAt": "2026-10-08T05:58:48+00:00"
}
```

**Field notes**

- **`company`:** Greenhouse, SmartRecruiters and Recruitee give the company's name. Lever and Ashby don't, so `company` is the board slug (for example `openai`), or the name you typed when you entered a company by name.
- **Salary:** filled in when the employer publishes one. Ashby, Lever and Recruitee often do; Greenhouse sometimes does.
- **`workplaceType`:** `unknown` when the board doesn't say.
- **`remoteRegions`:** only filled in for remote jobs. It is `["UNSPECIFIED"]` when the ad never says where a remote hire may live.
- **Run summary:** the run's key-value store has a `SUMMARY` record listing each company: which ATS was found, how many jobs were open, how many matched, and any that couldn't be found.

### Daily monitoring: pay only for new jobs

Turn on **Only jobs new since the last run** and schedule the Actor daily. It remembers which jobs it has already returned (per **monitor name**, or per exact input), so after the first run you only get, and only pay for, new postings. Each new job has `"isNew": true`.

### Pricing

Pay per event: you pay only for jobs you receive.

| Event | Price |
|---|---|
| Job (without tags) | $1.50 per 1,000 jobs |
| Job with visa, relocation and remote tags | $2.00 per 1,000 jobs |

Companies that can't be found and jobs that don't match your filters cost nothing. Runs stop cleanly at your spending limit.

### Data sources and compliance

- **Sources:** only each vendor's **documented public job-board API**, the feeds these systems publish so companies' open jobs can be shown on job sites. No logins, no proxies, no browser automation.
  - **Greenhouse:** Job Board API
  - **Lever:** Postings API
  - **Ashby:** Job Postings API. Jobs the company marked as unlisted are skipped.
  - **SmartRecruiters:** Posting API
  - **Recruitee:** Careers Site API
- **No personal data:** recruiter contact fields are never copied, and email addresses inside descriptions are replaced with `[email removed]`.
- **Not supported:** Workday, Workable, iCIMS, Taleo and SuccessFactors. They don't offer a comparable documented public feed, so those inputs are reported as unsupported.

### FAQ

**How accurate are the visa tags?**
They are rule-based and conservative, so every tag comes with its evidence sentence. Ads that say nothing are `not_mentioned`, not "no". Treat `offered` as a strong lead and still confirm with the employer.

**Can I use it from an AI agent or over MCP?**
Yes. It's a standard Apify Actor, so any Apify client, the Apify API or Apify's MCP server can call it.

**A company isn't found by name.**
Paste its careers page URL or its ATS board link instead.

# Actor input Schema

## `companies` (type: `array`):

One per line. Any of: an ATS board URL (https://boards.greenhouse.io/stripe, https://jobs.lever.co/palantir, https://jobs.ashbyhq.com/openai, https://jobs.smartrecruiters.com/BoschGroup, https://acme.recruitee.com), a prefixed slug (greenhouse:stripe, lever:palantir, ashby:openai, smartrecruiters:BoschGroup, recruitee:acme), a company careers page URL (the ATS link on it is found for you), or just a company name (tried as a Greenhouse, Lever and Ashby board).

## `keywords` (type: `array`):

Keep jobs whose title contains any of these words or phrases (case-insensitive, whole words). Leave empty for all jobs.

## `keywordsMatchDescription` (type: `boolean`):

Also search the job description, not just the title.

## `locations` (type: `array`):

Keep jobs whose location contains any of these (case-insensitive), e.g. "London", "Germany", "Remote", "SG". Leave empty for all locations.

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

Keep only jobs the employer marks as remote.

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

Keep jobs first published in the last N days. 0 = no limit.

## `addVisaTags` (type: `boolean`):

Reads every job ad sentence by sentence and adds visaSponsorship (offered / refused / mixed / not_mentioned) with the sentence it's based on, relocationOffered, and remoteRegions (where a remote hire may live). Billed as the 'job with tags' event instead of 'job'.

## `visaFilter` (type: `string`):

"offered" keeps only jobs whose ad offers visa sponsorship. "not_refused" drops jobs whose ad rules it out. Turns on the tags automatically.

## `includeDescription` (type: `boolean`):

Add the full plain-text job description to each result. Email addresses in descriptions are removed.

## `maxJobsPerCompany` (type: `integer`):

Stop after this many matching jobs from one company.

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

Stop the whole run after this many jobs. 0 = no limit (your run's spending limit still applies).

## `onlyNewJobs` (type: `boolean`):

Remember which jobs were already returned and output only new ones. Ideal for a daily schedule: you pay only for new jobs. The first run returns everything.

## `monitorName` (type: `string`):

Optional. Runs with the same monitor name share one memory of seen jobs. If empty, the memory is tied to this exact list of companies and filters.
