### Understanding Proxies:

When scraping data or browsing anonymously, proxies are essential. They act as intermediaries, masking your original IP address and allowing you to send requests from another location.

#### Why Use Proxies?

- Avoid IP Blocks: By routing requests through proxies, you prevent the target website from recognizing your IP as a scraper or spammer.
- Access Geo-restricted Content: Proxies let you access content or websites restricted by location.
- Enhance Anonymity: Hide your actual IP, ensuring privacy while scraping or browsing.

#### Types of Proxies

1. Residential Proxies
   - Real IP addresses provided by ISPs to home users.
   - They mimic regular users, making them harder to detect.
   - Best for: Long-term, undetectable scraping, and avoiding blocks.
2. Data Center Proxies
   - IP addresses from servers in data centers.
   - Faster and cheaper than residential proxies but easier to detect and block.
   - Best for: High-speed scraping, but with a higher risk of detection.
3. Mobile Proxies
   - IPs provided by mobile carriers (3G/4G/5G networks).
   - Very difficult to detect, as they appear as regular mobile users.
   - Best for: Mobile-related scraping or avoiding sophisticated blocks.

#### Rotating Proxies vs. Straight Proxies

- Rotating Proxies: Every request you send goes through a different proxy, making it harder for websites to detect patterns.
- Straight Proxies: All requests are sent through the same proxy, making it easier to track your IP.

# Actor output Schema

## `dataset` (type: `string`):

JSON array of scraped job records. Fetch this URL after the run completes to retrieve results.

## `run` (type: `string`):

Apify Console link to inspect this run's logs, input, and output.

# API

You can run this Actor programmatically using our API. Below are code examples in JavaScript, Python, and CLI, as well as the OpenAPI specification and MCP server setup.

## JavaScript example

```javascript
import { ApifyClient } from 'apify-client';

// Initialize the ApifyClient with your Apify API token
// Replace the '<YOUR_API_TOKEN>' with your token
const client = new ApifyClient({
    token: '<YOUR_API_TOKEN>',
});

// Prepare Actor input
const input = {
    "searchQueries": [
        "Web Developer"
    ],
    "startUrls": [
        {
            "url": "https://www.ziprecruiter.de/jobs/search?q=Web+Developer&l=Berlin"
        }
    ],
    "locations": [
        "Berlin"
    ],
    "maxJobs": 20
};

// Run the Actor and wait for it to finish
const run = await client.actor("rigelbytes/ziprecruiter-scraper").call(input);

// Fetch and print Actor results from the run's dataset (if any)
console.log('Results from dataset');
console.log(`💾 Check your data here: https://console.apify.com/storage/datasets/${run.defaultDatasetId}`);
const { items } = await client.dataset(run.defaultDatasetId).listItems();
items.forEach((item) => {
    console.dir(item);
});

## Python example

```python
from apify_client import ApifyClient

# Initialize the ApifyClient with your Apify API token
# Replace '<YOUR_API_TOKEN>' with your token.
client = ApifyClient("<YOUR_API_TOKEN>")

# Prepare the Actor input
run_input = {
    "searchQueries": ["Web Developer"],
    "startUrls": [{ "url": "https://www.ziprecruiter.de/jobs/search?q=Web+Developer&l=Berlin" }],
    "locations": ["Berlin"],
    "maxJobs": 20,
}

# Run the Actor and wait for it to finish
run = client.actor("rigelbytes/ziprecruiter-scraper").call(run_input=run_input)

# Fetch and print Actor results from the run's dataset (if there are any)
print("💾 Check your data here: https://console.apify.com/storage/datasets/" + run["defaultDatasetId"])
for item in client.dataset(run["defaultDatasetId"]).iterate_items():
    print(item)
