Actors are a software tools running on the Apify platform, for all kinds of web data extraction and automation use cases. 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. In JavaScript/TypeScript projects, use official [JavaScript/TypeScript client](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/js.md): ```bash npm install apify-client ``` In Python projects, use official [Python client library](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/python.md): ```bash pip install apify-client ``` In shell scripts, use [Apify CLI](https://docs.apify.com/cli/docs.md): ````bash # MacOS / Linux curl -fsSL https://apify.com/install-cli.sh | bash # Windows irm https://apify.com/install-cli.ps1 | iex ```bash In AI frameworks, you might use the [Apify MCP server](https://docs.apify.com/platform/integrations/mcp.md). If your project is in a different language, use the [REST API](https://docs.apify.com/api/v2.md). For usage examples, see the [API](#api) section below. For more details, see Apify documentation as [Markdown index](https://docs.apify.com/llms.txt) and [Markdown full-text](https://docs.apify.com/llms-full.txt). # README ## Built In Scraper - US Tech Jobs & Companies Extract tech job listings from [BuiltIn.com](https://builtin.com) — a leading US tech job board covering engineering, design, data, product, marketing, and sales roles. Get structured data including company info, locations, work arrangements, and descriptions. No code needed. --- ### What data can you extract? Every job listing includes: **Job details** - Job title and unique ID - Full description (plain text + raw HTML) - Salary: structured min/max + display text (e.g. "170K-234K Annually") - Experience level (Junior, Mid, Senior, Expert/Leader) - Work arrangement (Remote, Hybrid, In-Office) - Posting date - Direct link to the full job posting **Company details** - Company name and logo URL - Company HQ location - Number of employees - Year founded - Industries (e.g. "eCommerce", "Fintech", "Software") - Company description ("What We Do") **Company enrichment** (optional, with `includeCompanyInfo: true`) - Company profile URL on Built In - Company website URL - Tech stack (e.g. "Golang", "React", "PostgreSQL", "AWS") - All office locations (e.g. "San Francisco", "New York", "London") - Total active job openings - Link to all company jobs on Built In **Location** - City and state (e.g. "San Francisco, CA", "New York, NY") **Meta** - Source URL on Built In - Which search query or URL found the job - Scrape timestamp --- ### Pricing **$3 per 1,000 jobs** — simple, predictable pricing. | Jobs | Cost | |------|------| | 10 jobs | **$0.03** | | 100 jobs | **$0.30** | | 1,000 jobs | **$3.00** | Every job includes company info, location, work arrangement, and description. No hidden fees, no monthly subscription. --- ### Use with AI Agents (MCP) Connect this actor to any MCP-compatible AI client — Claude Desktop, Claude.ai, Cursor, VS Code, LangChain, LlamaIndex, or custom agents. **Apify MCP server URL:** ```` https://mcp.apify.com?tools=nanoscrape/builtin-scraper ```` **Example prompt once connected:** > "Use `builtin-scraper` to find software engineering jobs in San Francisco. Return the top 20 as a table with title, company, and work arrangement." > "Use `builtin-scraper` to extract remote tech jobs. Show me companies hiring for data roles." --- ### How to use The scraper supports two input modes: #### 1. Search URLs (recommended) Go to [builtin.com/jobs](https://builtin.com/jobs), pick a category or city, and paste the URL. All filters are preserved automatically. ```json { "searchUrls": [ "https://builtin.com/jobs/dev-engineering", "https://builtin.com/jobs/remote", "https://builtin.com/jobs/san-francisco" ] } ```` **Supported categories:** - `/jobs/dev-engineering` — Software Engineering - `/jobs/design-ux` — Design & UX - `/jobs/data-analytics` — Data & Analytics - `/jobs/product` — Product - `/jobs/marketing` — Marketing - `/jobs/sales` — Sales - `/jobs/remote` — Remote only - `/jobs/{city}` — By city (e.g. san-francisco, new-york, chicago, austin, seattle, denver, boston, los-angeles) #### 2. Search Keywords Enter one or more keywords. The scraper searches Built In and returns matching jobs. ```json { "searchQueries": ["software engineer", "product manager", "data scientist"], "maxResultsPerQuery": 50 } ``` *** ### Input reference | Field | Type | Description | |-------|------|-------------| | `searchUrls` | string\[] | Category or city URLs from [builtin.com/jobs](https://builtin.com/jobs). | | `searchQueries` | string\[] | One or more search keywords. | | `maxResultsPerQuery` | integer | Max results per keyword/URL (default 100). | | `maxResults` | integer | Total cap across all modes (default 10, 0 = unlimited). | | `includeJobDetails` | boolean | Fetch each job's detail page for full description, salary, experience level, and company info (default: true). | | `includeCompanyInfo` | boolean | Fetch company profile page for tech stack, website, and office locations (default: false). | | `maxConcurrency` | integer | Parallel detail/company page fetches (default 5). | | `proxyConfiguration` | object | Proxy settings. Datacenter proxies work great. | *** ### Output example ```json { "id": "8234567", "title": "Senior Software Engineer", "company": "Stripe", "company_logo_url": "https://cdn.builtin.com/cdn-cgi/image/f=auto,q=80/logos/stripe-logo.png", "location": "San Francisco, CA", "work_arrangement": "Remote or Hybrid", "salary_min": 170000, "salary_max": 234000, "salary_currency": "USD", "salary_period": "year", "salary_text": "170K-234K Annually", "experience_level": "Senior", "description_snippet": "We're looking for a Senior Software Engineer to join our Payments team...", "description_full": "About the Role\nWe're looking for a Senior Software Engineer to join our Payments team...", "company_hq": "San Francisco, CA", "company_employees": "8,000 Employees", "company_founded": "2010", "company_industries": ["Fintech", "Software", "Payments"], "company_description": "Stripe is a technology company that builds economic infrastructure for the internet...", "company_profile_url": "https://builtin.com/company/stripe", "company_website": "https://stripe.com", "company_tech_stack": ["Ruby", "Go", "React", "PostgreSQL", "AWS", "Kafka", "Kubernetes"], "company_offices": ["San Francisco", "New York", "Dublin", "Singapore", "Tokyo"], "company_total_jobs": 62, "company_all_jobs_url": "https://builtin.com/jobs?companyId=12345&allLocations=true", "posted_at": "6 Hours Ago", "source_url": "https://builtin.com/job/senior-software-engineer/8234567", "source_platform": "builtin.com", "search_query": "https://builtin.com/jobs/dev-engineering", "scraped_at": "2026-05-04T14:30:00Z" } ``` *** ### Speed | Jobs | ~Time | Memory | |------|-------|--------| | 10 | **~5 seconds** | ~16 MB | | 100 | **~30 seconds** | ~16 MB | | 1,000 | **~5 minutes** | ~20 MB | *** ### Integrations This actor works with all Apify integrations: - **API** — trigger runs and download results programmatically - **Webhooks** — get notified when a run completes - **Zapier & Make** — connect to 5,000+ apps - **Google Sheets** — export directly to a spreadsheet - **Slack, Email** — get notifications with results *** ### Related actors - [Indeed Scraper](https://apify.com/santamaria-automations/indeed-scraper) — 60+ countries, salary & company enrichment - [LinkedIn Jobs Scraper](https://apify.com/santamaria-automations/linkedin-jobs-scraper) — LinkedIn job listings - [RemoteOK Scraper](https://apify.com/nanoscrape/remoteok-scraper) — Remote job listings worldwide - [Welcome to the Jungle Scraper](https://apify.com/santamaria-automations/welcome-to-the-jungle-scraper) — European tech jobs *** Something not working?
