## 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`).

# README

## Google Jobs Scraper

Scrape **Google Jobs** (the `udm=8` jobs vertical) as clean, structured JSON - the aggregated job listings Google collects from LinkedIn, Workday, company career sites and dozens of other boards, in one place. No Google API key, no proxies or CAPTCHA setup.

Powered by [ScrapeUnblocker](https://scrapeunblocker.com)'s anti-bot bypass.

### What you get per job

- **Title**, **company** and **location**
- **via** - the source board the listing came from (LinkedIn, Workday, a careers site, ...)
- **salary** when Google shows it (e.g. `$208K–$274K a year`)
- **employmentType** (Full-time, Part-time, Internship, Contractor)
- **remote** flag, **postedAge** (e.g. `13 days ago`)
- **qualifications** (e.g. `No degree mentioned`) and **benefits** (health, dental, PTO, ...)
- **logo**, a stable **jobId** and a canonical **shareUrl** to the listing

### Input

| Field | Type | Default | Description |
|-------|------|---------|-------------|
| `q` | string | **required** | The job to search, e.g. `software engineer`. |
| `location` | string | - | Optional location appended to the search, e.g. `Austin, TX`. |
| `max_results` | integer | 10 | Jobs to return (one render yields ~10). |
| `hl` | string | `en` | Google UI language (ISO). |
| `gl` | string | `us` | Google country of search (ISO-2). |
| `proxy_country` | string | - | Exit-IP country (ISO-2), or blank to auto-pick. |

### Example output (one dataset item)

```json
{
  "jobId": "z1lbbJ-TYD2HOWn6AAAAAA==",
  "title": "Staff Software Engineer - Data Infrastructure",
  "company": "Plaid",
  "location": "United States (+1 other)",
  "via": "Plaid",
  "salary": "$208K–$274K a year",
  "employmentType": "Full-time",
  "remote": false,
  "postedAge": "13 days ago",
  "qualifications": ["No degree mentioned"],
  "benefits": ["Health insurance", "Dental insurance"],
  "shareUrl": "https://www.google.com/search?ibp=htl;jobs&htidocid=z1lbbJ-TYD2HOWn6AAAAAA==#fpstate=tldetail&htivrt=jobs"
}
```

### Use cases

- **Job market intelligence** - track who is hiring for a role, where, and at what pay.
- **ATS / job-board feeds** - pull fresh listings for a role into your own board or CRM.
- **Salary & skill trends** - aggregate salary bands, employment types and required qualifications over time.
- **Competitor hiring** - watch a company's open roles, locations and posting cadence.

### Pricing

$3 per 1,000 jobs - one job is one result.

### Notes & roadmap

- One render returns the first ~10 jobs. **Deeper pagination** (Google's infinite-scroll) is on the roadmap.
- A **per-job detail mode** (full description + apply links) is planned as a follow-up.
- Google Jobs is location-sensitive - set `location`, `gl` and/or `proxy_country` to target a market.

# 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 = {
    "q": "software engineer"
};

// Run the Actor and wait for it to finish
const run = await client.actor("scrapeunblocker/google-jobs-scraper").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 = { "q": "software engineer" }

# Run the Actor and wait for it to finish
run = client.actor("scrapeunblocker/google-jobs-scraper").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 '{
  "q": "software engineer"
}' |
apify call scrapeunblocker/google-jobs-scraper --silent --output-dataset

```

## MCP server setup

```json
{
    "mcpServers": {
        "apify": {
            "type": "http",
            "url": "https://mcp.apify.com/?tools=fetch-actor-details,scrapeunblocker/google-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).
