## What's an Apify Actor?

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.

# README

## Job Market Intelligence API

Scrape and analyze job listings from Indeed, LinkedIn, and Glassdoor. Get structured data on job titles, companies, salaries, skills, and location-based salary analysis.

### Features

- **Multi-source search** — Query Indeed, LinkedIn, and Glassdoor simultaneously
- **Keyword & location filtering** — Search by job title/keywords and location
- **Salary parsing** — Extract and normalize salary ranges (hourly, yearly, etc.) to yearly equivalents
- **Skill extraction** — Automatically detect ~150+ known skills in job titles and descriptions
- **Deduplication** — Remove duplicate listings by company + title + location
- **Salary analysis** — Compute averages, min/max, and breakdowns by location and keyword
- **Configurable output** — Control max results and enable/disable salary analysis
- **Webhook support** — Optional notification on run completion

### Input

| Field | Type | Required | Default | Description |
|-------|------|----------|---------|-------------|
| `keywords` | `array[string]` | ✅ | — | Job search keywords (e.g., `["software engineer"]`) |
| `location` | `string` | ❌ | — | Job location filter (e.g., `"remote"`, `"New York"`) |
| `sources` | `array[string]` | ❌ | `["indeed","linkedin","glassdoor"]` | Job boards to search |
| `maxResults` | `integer` | ❌ | `20` | Max listings per source per keyword |
| `includeSalaryAnalysis` | `boolean` | ❌ | `true` | Compute salary statistics in output |
| `webhookUrl` | `string` | ❌ | — | URL for completion notification |

#### Example Input

```json
{
  "keywords": ["software engineer", "data scientist"],
  "location": "remote",
  "sources": ["indeed", "glassdoor"],
  "maxResults": 10,
  "includeSalaryAnalysis": true
}
````

### Output

Each job listing contains:

| Field | Type | Description |
|-------|------|-------------|
| `timestamp` | `string` | ISO 8601 timestamp of when the listing was scraped |
| `source` | `string` | Origin job board (`indeed`, `linkedin`, `glassdoor`) |
| `title` | `string` | Job title |
| `company` | `string` | Employer name |
| `location` | `string` | Job location |
| `salary` | `string` | Raw salary text |
| `salaryMin` | `number` | Minimum salary value |
| `salaryMax` | `number` | Maximum salary value |
| `salaryType` | `string` | Pay type (`yearly`, `hourly`, `monthly`, etc.) |
| `description` | `string` | Job description snippet |
| `postingDate` | `string` | Relative or absolute posting date |
| `url` | `string` | Link to the original job listing |
| `skills` | `array[string]` | Detected skills from title and description |
| `jobType` | `string` | Employment type (e.g., Full-time) |

When `includeSalaryAnalysis` is enabled, a special analysis entry is appended with fields for salary statistics by keyword, location, and top skills.

### Quick Start

```bash
## Install dependencies
python3 -m venv .venv
source .venv/bin/activate
pip install -r requirements.txt

## Run locally
APIFY_ACTOR_PYTHON_VENV_PATH=.venv apify run --purge

## Deploy to Apify
apify push

## Run on Apify cloud
apify call job-market-intel --input '{"keywords":["software engineer"],"location":"remote","sources":["indeed"],"maxResults":5}'
```

### Notes

- **Indeed** — Scrapes public job search results. Works with standard HTTP requests.
- **Glassdoor** — Scrapes public job search results. Works with standard HTTP requests.
- **LinkedIn** — LinkedIn aggressively blocks automated HTTP scraping. Results may be limited or empty without using a browser-based crawler.
- Salary analysis normalizes all amounts to yearly equivalents for consistent comparison.
- Rate limiting and respectful scraping practices are implemented — delays vary by source.

# Actor input Schema

## `keywords` (type: `array`):

Job search keywords (e.g., software engineer, data scientist)

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

Job location filter (optional, e.g., remote, New York, London)

## `sources` (type: `array`):

        "software engineer"
    ],
    "location": "remote",
    "sources": [
        "indeed"

// Run the Actor and wait for it to finish
const run = await client.actor("second_coming/job-market-intel").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) => {
