## 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.

Extract job listings from **Naukri.com** (India's largest job portal) by keyword and location. Get clean, structured data — title, company, experience, salary, location, skills, description, and a direct apply URL — ready for your spreadsheet, database, ATS, or AI pipeline.

***

### 💡 What you can do with it

- **Recruiters & staffing agencies** — aggregate every open role for a skill in a city, daily.
- **Job boards & aggregators** — fill gaps in your listings with India + Gulf coverage.
- **Sales & lead-gen** — a list of companies actively hiring is a list of companies that are growing and spending.
- **Market & salary research** — track demand and pay ranges for any role over time.
- **AI / LLM pipelines** — structured job data to power agents, matching, and analysis.

***

### 🚀 Quick start

Give it a keyword and (optionally) a location:

```json
{
    "keyword": "data analyst",
    "location": "mumbai",
    "maxItems": 100
}
```

Click **Start**, and in under a minute you get a table like this:

| Title | Company | Rating | Experience | Salary | Location | Posted |
|-------|---------|--------|-----------|--------|----------|--------|
| Data Analyst | Capgemini | 3.6 | 4-9 Yrs | — | Hybrid - Mumbai | 4 days ago |
| Immediately Hiring - Data Analyst | Millennium Organisation | 4.2 | 2-4 Yrs | 3-6 Lacs PA | Mumbai (All Areas) | 1 week ago |

Export to **CSV, Excel, JSON, or Google Sheets**, or pull it via the API.

***

### ⚙️ Input

| Field | Required | Description |
|-------|----------|-------------|
| `keyword` | ✅ | Role or keyword, e.g. `data analyst`, `java developer`, `accountant`. |
| `location` | — | City/region, e.g. `mumbai`, `bangalore`, `delhi ncr`, `remote`. Blank = all India. |
| `maxItems` | — | Stop after this many jobs (default `100`). You are charged per job returned. |
| `freshnessDays` | — | Keep only jobs posted within N days (e.g. `7` for the last week). |
| `proxyConfiguration` | — | Residential proxies (default & recommended). |

***

### 📤 Output

Each job is one clean record:

| Field | Example |
|-------|---------|
| `jobId` | `"310726021189"` |
| `title` | `"Immediately Hiring - Data Analyst"` |
| `company` | `"Millennium Organisation"` |
| `companyRating` | `4.2` |
| `experience` | `"2-4 Yrs"` |
| `salary` | `"3-6 Lacs PA"` |

| `description` | `"Hands-on experience in Power BI…"` |
| `postedLabel` | `"1 week ago"` |
| `applyUrl` | `"https://www.naukri.com/job-listings-…"` |
| `searchKeyword`, `searchLocation`, `scrapedAt` | your query + a timestamp on every row |

***

### 💰 Pricing

**Pay-per-result: you are charged only for jobs actually delivered.** No monthly fee, no charge for empty runs. Set `maxItems` to cap your spend exactly.

***

### ❓ FAQ

**Do I need a Naukri account?** No. It reads public listings only.

**Which fields aren't included?** Recruiter personal contact details are **intentionally not collected** — this actor returns job- and company-level public data only.

**How fresh is the data?** Every run scrapes live. Use `freshnessDays` to keep only recent posts.

**Can it do the whole of India / the Gulf?** Yes — leave `location` blank for all-India, or use any city. Gulf roles surface via `naukrigulf`-style keywords and locations.

**A field came back empty.** Some jobs hide salary or rating on Naukri itself — those fields are returned empty rather than guessed.

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).
