This Actor is paid per event. You are not charged for the Apify platform usage, but only a fixed price for specific events.
Since this Actor supports Apify Store discounts, the price gets lower the higher subscription plan you have.

## 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`).

|---|---|---|---|
| Title, company, cities, job URL | ✅ | ✅ | ✅ |
| Skills | ✅ | ✅ | ✅ |
| Experience (min–max years) | — | ✅ | ✅ |

| Posting date | with description option | ✅ | — |
| Remote / work from home | ✅ | ✅ | ✅ |
| Description | option | — | ✅ |
| Company size, founded year, tagline | ✅ | — | — |

### Input example

```json
{
  "keywords": ["python", "react", "data engineer"],
  "sources": ["instahyre", "hirist", "cutshort"],
  "location": "Bangalore",
  "minExperience": 3,
  "maxExperience": 8,
  "maxJobsPerSearch": 100
}
```

### Use cases

- **Recruitment agencies & staffing firms**: fresh tech openings across India in one sheet.
- **Sales prospecting**: which companies are hiring developers right now.
- **Job boards & newsletters**: aggregate India tech jobs for your audience.
- **Salary & skills research**: experience and salary ranges by skill and city.

### Pricing

**$1.50 per 1,000 jobs.** Jobs removed by your filters are not charged.

### Good to know

- Instahyre and Hirist are paginated deeply (thousands of jobs per keyword). Cutshort publishes up to 50 jobs per skill page; the scraper finds the matching skill (e.g. "React" → React.js) automatically.
- Salaries are returned only when the employer shows them. Recruiter names are not returned.
- Only public job listings are collected, without login.

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>',
});

## CLI example

```bash
echo '{
  "keywords": [
    "python"
  ],
  "proxyConfiguration": {
    "useApifyProxy": true
  }
}' |
apify call rt-solutions/india-tech-jobs-scraper --silent --output-dataset

```

## MCP server setup

```json
{
    "mcpServers": {
        "apify": {
            "type": "http",
            "url": "https://mcp.apify.com/?tools=fetch-actor-details,rt-solutions/india-tech-jobs-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).
