## 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

## GulfTalent Jobs Scraper

Extract job listings from GulfTalent (gulftalent.com) including title, company, country, industry, level, and date.

### Input

- `query` (string, optional): Job title keyword (e.g., "engineer"). Default: empty string (no filter).
- `country` (string, optional): Country slug (e.g., "uae", "saudi-arabia"). Default: empty string (no filter).
- `maxItems` (integer, optional): Maximum number of jobs to scrape. Default: 20.

### Output

Each item in the dataset contains:

- `jobId`: Job ID from the URL
- `title`: Job title
- `company`: Company name
- `country`: Country name (from JSON-LD)
- `industry`: Industry (from JSON-LD or HTML fallback)
- `level`: Job level (heuristic from title)
- `date`: Date posted (as string)
- `url`: Absolute URL to the job (desktop version)
- `scrapedAt`: ISO timestamp of scraping

### Notes

- Uses mobile version of the site (`/mobile/...`) to avoid Akamai WAF blocking.
- Requires Apify Proxy (RESIDENTIAL group by default) to avoid IP blocking.
- Charges per job scraped (`job-scraped` event at $0.008 per job).
- Failed runs are not billed.

# 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 = {
    "query": "",
    "country": "",
    "maxItems": 20
};

// Run the Actor and wait for it to finish
const run = await client.actor("rocketapi/gulftalent-jobs").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 = {
    "query": "",
    "country": "",
    "maxItems": 20,
}

# Run the Actor and wait for it to finish
run = client.actor("rocketapi/gulftalent-jobs").call(run_input=run_input)

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

## CLI example

```bash
echo '{
  "query": "",
  "country": "",
  "maxItems": 20
}' |
apify call rocketapi/gulftalent-jobs --silent --output-dataset

```

## MCP server setup

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

```

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).
