## 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

## Hirist & IIMJobs Jobs Scraper - India Tech & Management Jobs

Scrape **Hirist** (hirist.tech, India's tech job board) and **IIMJobs** (iimjobs.com, MBA, finance, consulting and management jobs) **in one run and one schema**. Each job comes with its company, AmbitionBox rating, cities, experience range, salary in INR, skills, applicant count, posting date and full description. Other scrapers cover one board each and often add a start fee. This one searches both boards in parallel, has no start fee, turns "25-40 LPA" into numbers and has an **only-new-jobs** mode for daily alerts and job-board feeds. It uses the sites' public JSON API: no login, no browser, no cookies.

### What data can you get?

| Field | Example | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| `site` | `hirist` | `hirist` or `iimjobs` |
| `id` / `jobId` | `hirist-1680781` / `1680781` | Stable ID, good for deduplication |
| `title`, `designation` | `LatentBridge - Senior Backend Python Engineer`, `Senior Backend Python Engineer` | |
| `company`, `companyId` | `LatentBridge`, `13620` | Company only. Recruiter names are never output. |
| `companyRating`, `companyReviewsCount` | `3.7`, `105` | AmbitionBox rating, when the company has a profile |
| `companyType`, `companyIndustry`, `companyLogo` | `Startup`, `IT Services & Consulting` | From AmbitionBox |
| `locations` | `["Pune", "Bangalore", "Bhopal"]` | All cities of the job |
| `experienceMin`, `experienceMax` | `10`, `15` | Years |
| `salaryMin`, `salaryMax`, `salaryCurrency`, `salaryUnit`, `salaryText` | `2500000`, `4000000`, `INR`, `year`, `₹25-40 LPA` | Only when the employer shows the salary (roughly 1 job in 10) |
| `skills` | `["Python", "Django", "FastAPI"]` | The job's skill tags |
| `category` | `Backend Development`, `Banking & Finance` | The board's category |
| `workMode` | `remote` / `hybrid` / `onsite` / `null` | See Tips |
| `applicants` | `64` | Number of applications so far |
| `postedAt` | `2026-10-28T08:29:32.440Z` | ISO date |
| `description`, `descriptionHtml` | full job description | Plain text and cleaned HTML |
| `url`, `applyUrl` | `https://www.hirist.tech/j/...` | Public job page |
| `searchKeyword`, `detailFetched`, `scrapedAt` | | Run metadata |

### Use cases

- **Recruiters and staffing agencies:** see which companies are hiring for a skill or role in a city, with experience bands and salaries.
- **Job aggregators and job boards:** feed India tech and management jobs into your site. Schedule the Actor with *Only new jobs* to get each job once.
- **Salary and HR analytics:** compare disclosed LPA ranges by skill, city, experience and category on both boards.
- **Market research:** track hiring demand for skills such as GenAI, data engineering or investment banking over time.
- **Sales prospecting:** find companies that are hiring, with their AmbitionBox rating and industry.

### How to use

1. Pick the boards (`hirist`, `iimjobs` or both).
2. Add keywords (skills, titles or company names). Leave keywords empty to get the latest jobs of each board (roughly newest first).
3. Optionally filter by city, experience and posting date.
4. Run it and download JSON, CSV or Excel, or use the API.

**Python jobs on both boards (the default):**

```json
{ "sites": ["hirist", "iimjobs"], "keywords": ["python"], "maxItems": 10 }
```

**Investment banking jobs in Mumbai (IIMJobs):**

```json
{ "sites": ["iimjobs"], "keywords": ["investment banking"], "locations": ["Mumbai"], "maxItems": 50 }
```

**Product manager jobs in Gurgaon posted in the last 7 days, both boards:**

```json
{ "keywords": ["product manager"], "locations": ["Gurgaon"], "postedWithinDays": 7, "maxItems": 50 }
```

**Daily feed of all new jobs on both boards (schedule it daily):**

```json
{ "keywords": [], "postedWithinDays": 3, "maxItems": 0, "onlyNew": true, "stateKey": "daily-feed" }
```

#### Input fields

| Field | What it does |
|---|---|
| `sites` | `hirist`, `iimjobs` or both (default both) |
| `keywords` | One search per keyword on every board. Empty = latest jobs (all categories, roughly newest first). |
| `locations` | City/state/country names, e.g. `Bangalore`, `Bengaluru`, `Delhi NCR`, `Gurgaon`, `Hyderabad`, `Remote`, `Dubai` |
| `experienceMin` / `experienceMax` | Jobs whose experience range overlaps these years |
| `postedWithinDays` | 1, 3, 7, 15 or 30 days (0 = any time) |
| `includeDescription` | Full description and exact applicant count (default on, included in the price) |
| `maxItems` | Max jobs per board and keyword (default 100, 0 = no limit) |
| `onlyNew` / `stateKey` | Only output jobs not seen in earlier runs with the same monitor name |
| `proxyConfiguration` | Not needed normally; datacenter proxy only |

```

The dataset has three views: **Overview** (job, company, cities, experience, salary, skills), **Companies** (who is hiring, with AmbitionBox ratings) and **Descriptions**.

### Pricing

Pay per result, no start fee:

| Event | Price |
|---|---|
| `job`: one job saved to the dataset (full description included) | $0.003 |

Example: **1,000 jobs ≈ $3.00**. A daily alert that finds 40 new jobs costs about $0.12 per day. Jobs skipped by *Only new jobs* and duplicates across keywords are not charged. Set **Maximum cost per run** and the Actor stops cleanly at your budget.

### Tips and limits

- **Keyword search is ranked by relevance; empty keywords give the newest jobs.** For alerts on a keyword, add `postedWithinDays` (e.g. 3) and set `maxItems` to 0 so new jobs are not cut off by the per-search limit.
- **Only new jobs:** the first run outputs everything it finds and becomes the baseline. Later runs output only jobs that run had not seen. With a small `maxItems`, a later run can return older jobs that did not fit into the first run.
- **Salary** is shown by the employer on roughly 1 job in 10. Otherwise all salary fields are `null`.
- **workMode**: `remote` comes from the boards' work-from-home flag or a "Remote" location. `hybrid` / `onsite` come from an explicit "Work model: ..." line in the description, so they need `includeDescription`. Otherwise `null`.
- **Without descriptions** (`includeDescription: false`), runs are faster, but `description`, `descriptionHtml` and (for keyword-less runs) `category` and `applicants` are `null`.
- **Same job on both boards:** some employers post the same role on Hirist and IIMJobs. These are two separate listings with different IDs, so both are output.
- **Speed:** the Actor sends at most about one request per second per board (both boards' robots.txt ask for a crawl delay). 100 jobs with descriptions take about 2 minutes.
- **Contact details:** e-mail addresses and phone numbers inside descriptions are replaced with `[email removed]` / `[phone removed]`.

### FAQ

**Is it legal to scrape Hirist and IIMJobs?**
The Actor reads only public job listings that anyone can see without logging in. It does not collect recruiter names, e-mails or phone numbers, and it strips contact details from descriptions. You are responsible for using the data in line with the sites' terms, data protection law (e.g. India's DPDP Act, GDPR) and your own use case. If in doubt, ask a lawyer.

**Do I need a Hirist or IIMJobs account?**
No. No login and no cookies.

**Do I need a proxy?**
Usually not: the APIs answer Apify's servers directly. If you see HTTP 403/429 errors, enable Apify Proxy (datacenter). Residential proxies are not supported. If you select a RESIDENTIAL group, the Actor logs a warning and uses datacenter proxy instead.

**Why do I get fewer jobs than the site shows?**
`maxItems` caps each keyword on each board (default 100). Set it to 0 for no limit.

**My city is not recognised.**
Use the name as shown in the boards' location filter, e.g. "Gurgaon", "Delhi NCR", "Cochin/Kochi", "Vadodara". Common spellings like Bengaluru, Gurugram, New Delhi and Kochi also work. Unknown names are reported in the log.

### Integrations

Get results through the [Apify API](https://docs.apify.com/api/v2) or the JavaScript/Python clients, or connect no-code tools: **Make**, **Zapier**, **n8n**, Google Sheets, Slack and webhooks. AI agents can call this Actor through the [Apify MCP server](https://mcp.apify.com). Each run also writes a `RUN_SUMMARY` record (counts, per-search status, request statistics) to the key-value store.

### Changelog

# Actor input Schema

## `sites` (type: `array`):

Which boards to search. Both run in parallel and share one output schema; the "site" field tells you where each job came from.

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

Each entry is a separate search on every selected board, e.g. "python", "product manager", "investment banking", "chartered accountant". Results are ranked by relevance. Leave empty to get the LATEST jobs of each board (all categories, newest first). A job found by several keywords is output (and charged) once.

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

Optional city, state or country names as used on the sites, e.g. "Bangalore", "Mumbai", "Delhi NCR", "Gurgaon", "Pune", "Hyderabad", "Remote", "Dubai". A job matches if any of its locations matches. Leave empty for all of India and overseas.

## `experienceMin` (type: `integer`):

Optional. Keep jobs whose experience range overlaps this range (the sites' own filter).

## `experienceMax` (type: `integer`):

Optional. Upper end of the experience range in years.

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

Only jobs posted in the last 1, 3, 7, 15 or 30 days. 0 = any time.

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

Fetch each job's detail record for the full description (plain text and HTML) and the exact applicant count. Included in the per-job price. Turn off for faster list-only runs (description fields are then null).

## `maxItems` (type: `integer`):

Stop each search (one keyword on one board) after this many jobs. 0 = no limit.

## `onlyNew` (type: `boolean`):

Output (and pay for) only jobs not output by an earlier run with the same "Monitor name". The first run outputs everything and becomes the baseline. Ideal for scheduled job alerts and feeding a job board.

## `stateKey` (type: `string`):

Name of the "only new jobs" memory. Use a different name for each separate alert/schedule.

## `proxyConfiguration` (type: `object`):

Usually not needed: the Hirist and IIMJobs APIs answer Apify's IPs directly. If you get HTTP 403/429, enable Apify Proxy (datacenter). Residential proxies are not supported; a RESIDENTIAL group automatically falls back to datacenter proxy.
