## 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

## 💼 Totaljobs Scraper — UK Job Listings with Salaries, Company & Full Descriptions

**Scrape [Totaljobs.com](https://www.totaljobs.com) — one of the UK's largest job boards — by keyword and location. Every job comes back with company, location, salary (raw + parsed min/max/currency/period), the exact posted & expiry dates, employment type, industry, and the full job description. One flat per-job price — full details included, no two-tier upsell.**

### Why this one?

- 🔎 **Search the way the site does** — a keyword (`developer`, `registered nurse`, `warehouse operative`) and a UK location (`London`, `Manchester`, `Birmingham`). Leave the location blank to sweep the whole UK for a keyword.
- 💷 **Salaries, actually parsed** — `salary_raw` plus structured `salary_min` / `salary_max` / `salary_currency` / `salary_period` (per year / day / hour), taken from the posting's own structured data where available.
- 📝 **Full descriptions included** — a snippet from the results page plus the complete plaintext **and** HTML description from each posting. In the base price.
- 🏢 **Company / advertiser** — company name, the advertiser's Totaljobs profile URL, and the company logo.
- 🌍 **Location, resolved** — the listing location string plus town, region, postcode (when published) and country from the posting's structured address.
- 📅 **Time-aware** — the relative "posted X ago", the exact `date_posted` (ISO) and the `valid_through` expiry date on every job.
- 🏷️ **Employment type & industry** — `employment_type` (Full-time / Contract / Remote-working…) and the site's `industry` classification.

No login, no API key, no browser automation — the actor reads the server-rendered pages directly (25 jobs per request), so it is fast and stable.

### Input

| Field | What it does |
|---|---|
| **Keywords** | Job title or skill, e.g. `python developer`. Leave empty to sweep everything in the location. |
| **Location** | UK city/town/region, e.g. `London`. Leave empty to search the whole UK by keyword. |
| **Number of jobs** | Stop after this many jobs (0 = every job the query serves). |
| **Scrape the full job description** | On by default. Opens each posting for the full description, exact dates, employment type, industry and structured salary. Included in the same per-job price. |
| **Proxy** | Defaults to a **UK (GB) residential** proxy — this is **required**; Totaljobs blocks non-UK IPs. |

### Output (one row per job, deduplicated by Totaljobs job id)

`job_id`, `job_url`, `title`, `company`, `hiring_organization_url`, `location`, `town`, `region`, `postcode`, `country`, `salary_raw`, `salary_min`, `salary_max`, `salary_currency`, `salary_period`, `employment_type`, `industry`, `posted_relative`, `date_posted`, `valid_through`, `direct_apply`, `label`, `company_logo`, `snippet`, `description_text`, `description_html`, `search_keywords`, `search_location`, `scraped_at`.

Export to **JSON, CSV, Excel**, or pull via the Apify API.

### Pricing

Flat **pay-per-job** — you are charged once for each job actually returned (full description included, no separate "details" tier). Because Totaljobs must be reached through a UK residential proxy, the price reflects that cost while still undercutting the comparable full-detail Totaljobs scrapers on the Store.

### Legality & responsible use

This actor collects **publicly available** information from Totaljobs.com. You are responsible for complying with Totaljobs.com's Terms of Service and with any applicable laws. Job postings can contain **personal data** (for example named recruiters); processing it lawfully (GDPR/UK-GDPR and similar) is your responsibility as the operator. Use the data for legitimate purposes only.

# Actor input Schema

## `keywords` (type: `string`):

Job title or skill, exactly as you would type it into Totaljobs — e.g. 'registered nurse', 'python developer', 'warehouse operative'. Leave empty to sweep everything in the location.

## `location` (type: `string`):

UK city, town or region as Totaljobs shows it — e.g. 'London', 'Manchester', 'Birmingham'. Leave empty to search the whole UK by keyword.

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

Stop after this many jobs. Set 0 for every job Totaljobs serves for the query.

## `fetchDetails` (type: `boolean`):

Opens each posting for the full description, exact posted date, expiry date, employment type, industry and structured salary (currency, period, min/max). Slower, but included in the same per-job price.

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

Totaljobs.com blocks non-UK IPs, so this scraper defaults to a UK residential proxy — leave it as-is unless you know what you are doing.

## `requestConcurrency` (type: `integer`):

Parallel requests for the description add-on. Keep modest to respect the site.

## Actor input object example

```json
{
  "keywords": "developer",
  "location": "London",
  "maxItems": 50,
  "fetchDetails": true,

}
```
