## What's an Apify Actor?

Actors are web data automations that power AI and operations. They run on the Apify platform to scrape websites, process data, connect APIs, and automate workflows.
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.

- **AI agents and MCP clients** — the [Apify MCP server](https://docs.apify.com/integrations/mcp.md) at `https://mcp.apify.com` (remote, streamable HTTP, OAuth on first use).
- **Agentic workflows and local Actor development** — [Agent Skills](https://apify.com/.well-known/agent-skills/index.json) with the [Apify CLI](https://docs.apify.com/cli/docs.md): `npm install -g apify-cli`, then `apify login`.
- **JavaScript/TypeScript projects** — the official [JS/TS client](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/js/docs.md): `npm install apify-client`.
- **Python projects** — the official [Python client](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/python/docs.md): `pip install apify-client`.
- **Any other language** — the [REST API](https://docs.apify.com/api/v2.md).

For usage examples, see the [API](#api) section below.

# README

### What does Forasna.com Egypt Jobs Scraper do?

**Forasna.com Egypt Jobs Scraper** extracts **public job listings** from [Forasna.com](https://www.forasna.com/) — Egypt's jobs board with thousands of open vacancies. Paste a search URL or a single job URL and export structured data: **title, company, location, salary, company logo, and listing URL** — without writing code.

Run it on the **Apify platform** to schedule crawls, export JSON/CSV/Excel, and integrate results via API.

### Why scrape Forasna.com?

- **Recruitment research** — Track hiring across Egyptian cities and industries.
- **Job aggregation** — Feed vacancies into dashboards, alerts, or matching tools.
- **Market intelligence** — Monitor employers, salary ranges, and open roles.
- **Lead generation** — Collect company names and job URLs for outreach.

### How to use Forasna.com Egypt Jobs Scraper

1. Open the Actor in Apify Console.
2. Add one or more **Forasna.com search or job URLs** under **Start URLs**.
3. Set **Maximum items** (jobs per start URL).
4. Keep **Apify Proxy** enabled if the site blocks datacenter traffic.
5. Run the Actor and download results from the **Dataset** tab.

### Input

Supported start URLs:

- All open jobs: `https://www.forasna.com/وظائف-خالية`
- Homepage: `https://www.forasna.com/`
- Job detail: `https://forasna.com/job/p/{slug}-{id}`

### Output

Each result is a structured job object:

```json
{
  "id": "438339",
  "title": "سائق (رخصة مهنية)",
  "company": "شركة ابناء مخلوف لصناعة الشنط والاكياس",
  "location": "مدينة العبور، القليوبية",
  "salary": "الراتب غير معلن",
  "imageUrl": "https://forasna-images.wuzzuf-data.net/uploads/logos/thumb_clogo_example.png",
  "url": "https://forasna.com/job/p/example-438339",
  "searchUrl": "https://www.forasna.com/وظائف-خالية"
}
```

### How much does it cost?

This Actor uses a lightweight **HTTP crawler (no browser)**. Enable **Apify Proxy (datacenter)** when Cloudflare blocks direct requests.

### FAQ

#### Does this Actor log in?

No. It only reads publicly listed job cards. Login, CV upload, and applicant dashboards are out of scope.

#### How does maxItems work?

`maxItems` is counted **per start URL**, not across the whole run.

## MCP server setup

```json
{
    "mcpServers": {
        "apify": {
            "type": "http",
            "url": "https://mcp.apify.com/?tools=fetch-actor-details,rainminer/forasna-com-scraper"
        }
    }
}

```

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).
