## 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.

#### 🎉 Job postings pulled DIRECT from 90,000+ employer ATS platforms — deduplicated and AI-enriched

##### Built for recruiters, sales teams, and data professionals who need fresh, structured hiring data without scraping a single job board

***

### 📋 Overview

**Most "job scrapers" scrape one job board.** This one is different — it pulls deduplicated job postings **straight from the employer's own applicant tracking system** (Greenhouse, Lever, Workday, Paylocity, Ashby and 90,000+ others), then enriches every posting with an AI layer the boards simply don't have.

**What the ATS source gives you that a board scrape cannot:**

- ✅ **Direct from the source**: Postings come from the employer's own ATS, not a recycled job board — fresher, deduplicated, and far less spam.
- 🎯 **AI-enriched, every row**: Inferred salary (value / min / max / currency / unit), key skills, experience level, work arrangement, and visa sponsorship — structured and ready to filter.
- 💎 **Hiring-manager contacts**: Where present in the posting, the AI extracts the hiring-manager name and email — turning every "we're hiring" into a warm B2B lead.
- ⚡ **Filter-rich**: Keyword/title with boolean `OR`/`AND`, location, time window (1h → 6m), remote, work arrangement, employment type, experience level, company and ATS source.
- 💰 **Transparent pricing**: Pay only per job posting returned — no rental, no surprises.
- ✨ **Vendor-neutral**: Clean camelCase fields, normalized locations, lat/lng and timezones — drop it straight into your pipeline.

***

### ✨ Features

- 💼 **Direct-from-employer ATS aggregation**: 90,000+ company ATS platforms, deduplicated into one clean feed.
- 🤖 **AI salary inference**: value, min, max, currency and unit — benchmark compensation across thousands of live roles.
- 🛠️ **Key-skills extraction**: structured skill lists per posting for sourcing and matching.
- 🎓 **Experience & work-arrangement tags**: filter by 0–2 / 2–5 / 5–10 / 10+ years and On-site / Hybrid / Remote.
- 🛂 **Visa-sponsorship detection**: spot sponsorship-friendly roles instantly.
- 👤 **Hiring-manager name + email**: recruiting and sales-prospecting leads, where the posting includes them.
- 🌍 **Normalized geo**: derived cities, regions, countries, timezones and lat/lng on every row.
- 🔍 **Boolean keyword & location search**: combine terms with `OR` / `AND` and quoted phrases.
- 📆 **Time-window control**: last 1 hour, 24 hours, 7 days or 6 months.
- 📤 **Export anywhere**: JSON, CSV or Excel straight from the Apify dataset.

***

### 🎬 Quick Start

Pick a keyword, a location and a time window, then run. The actor paginates automatically and returns one clean row per job posting.

```bash
curl -X POST 'https://api.apify.com/v2/acts/sian.agency~active-job-postings-scraper/runs?token=YOUR_TOKEN' \
-H 'Content-Type: application/json' \
-d '{"keyword": "\"Data Engineer\"", "location": "\"United States\"", "timeFrame": "7d", "maxResults": 100}'
```

***

### 🚀 Getting Started (3 Simple Steps)

#### Step 1: Set your search

Enter a keyword/title (boolean `OR`/`AND` supported) and a location using full names (`"United States"`, not `US`).

#### Step 2: Tune the filters

Choose a time window and, optionally, remote-only, work arrangement, employment type, experience level, company or ATS source.

#### Step 3: Run

Press **Start**. In under a minute you'll have:

- A clean dataset of deduplicated job postings
- AI-enriched salary, skills, experience and work-arrangement fields
- Hiring-manager contacts where available, ready to export

### ❓ Frequently Asked Questions

**Q: Is this a LinkedIn / Indeed scraper?**
A: No. It pulls postings direct from employers' own ATS platforms (Greenhouse, Lever, Workday, and 90,000+ more), deduplicated — not from a job board.

**Q: How many postings can I get?**
A: FREE tier: 25 per run. PAID tier: up to your `maxResults` (the actor paginates automatically).

**Q: Where do the salary, skills and hiring-manager fields come from?**
A: They're AI-inferred from the posting text. Salary inference and enrichment populate on most rows; hiring-manager name/email appear only when the posting itself contains them.

**Q: What output formats are available?**
A: JSON, CSV and Excel — export directly from the Apify dataset.

**Q: Can I filter by remote roles?**
A: Yes — use the Remote toggle, or pick a specific work arrangement (On-site / Hybrid / Remote OK / Remote Solely).

**Q: How fresh is the data?**
A: Choose a time window from the last hour up to the last 6 months. Narrower windows return the freshest postings.

**Q: Is this legal?**
A: Yes — it only returns publicly available job postings. See the legal note below.

***

### 🐛 Troubleshooting

**No postings returned**

- Broaden the keyword/location or widen the time window (try `7d` or `6m`).
- Use full location names (`"United States"`, not `US`).

**Too many / too few results**

- Adjust `maxResults`, or narrow with experience level, work arrangement or ATS source.

**Rate or quota message**

- Wait a moment and retry, or narrow the time window / lower `maxResults`.

***

### ⚖️ Is it legal to scrape data?

Our actors are ethical and do not extract any private user data. They only return job postings that employers have chosen to publish publicly on their applicant tracking systems. We therefore believe that our actors, when used for ethical purposes by Apify users, are safe.

However, you should be aware that your results could contain personal data (for example, a hiring-manager name or email that an employer published in a posting). Personal data is protected by the **GDPR** in the European Union and by other regulations around the world. You should not process personal data unless you have a legitimate reason to do so. If you're unsure whether your reason is legitimate, consult your lawyers.

You can also read Apify's blog post on the [legality of web scraping](https://blog.apify.com/is-web-scraping-legal/).

# Actor input Schema

## `keyword` (type: `string`):

🔍 **JOB TITLE / KEYWORD SEARCH:** Filter postings by job title or keyword.

**Boolean syntax supported** — quote phrases and combine with `OR` / `AND`:

- `"Data Engineer"`
- `"Software Engineer" OR "Backend Engineer"`
- `"Product Manager" AND "fintech"`

💡 **TIP:** Leave empty to pull the firehose of recent postings (use the time window and location to keep it focused).

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

📍 **LOCATION FILTER:** Use **full names**, not abbreviations — `"United States"`, not `US`. Boolean syntax supported:

- `"United States"`
- `"United States" OR "United Kingdom" OR "Canada"`
- `"New York" OR "San Francisco"`

💡 **TIP:** Combine with the Remote toggle below for remote-friendly roles.

## `timeFrame` (type: `string`):

📅 **RECENCY WINDOW:** How recently the posting was published. Narrower windows return fresher, smaller result sets.

- **1h** — posted in the last hour
- **24h** — posted in the last 24 hours
- **7d** — posted in the last 7 days (recommended)
- **6m** — posted in the last 6 months (largest set)

## `remoteOnly` (type: `boolean`):

🏠 **REMOTE ONLY:** When enabled, returns only postings whose AI-detected work arrangement is remote-friendly (Remote OK / Remote Solely).

## `workArrangement` (type: `string`):

🏢 **WORK ARRANGEMENT:** Filter by AI-detected work setup. Leave as Any to include all.

## `employmentType` (type: `string`):

📋 **EMPLOYMENT TYPE:** Filter by AI-detected employment type. Leave as Any to include all.

## `experienceLevel` (type: `string`):

🎓 **EXPERIENCE LEVEL:** Filter by AI-detected years-of-experience band. Leave as Any to include all.

## `organization` (type: `string`):

🏛️ **COMPANY FILTER:** Return only postings from specific companies (matched against the employer name on the ATS). Boolean syntax supported, e.g. `"Stripe" OR "Datadog"`.

## `atsSource` (type: `string`):

🔌 **ATS PLATFORM FILTER:** Return only postings from a specific ATS source — e.g. `greenhouse`, `lever`, `workday`, `paylocity`, `ashby`. Leave empty for all sources.

## `includeDescription` (type: `boolean`):

📝 **FULL JOB DESCRIPTION:** When enabled, adds the full job-description text to each row. Off by default to keep datasets lean and runs fast.

## `maxResults` (type: `integer`):

🔢 **MAX POSTINGS:** Maximum number of job postings to return (the actor paginates automatically). Higher values fetch more pages.

🆓 **FREE tier** is capped to keep your Apify credit safe; **PAID** runs respect this value fully.

## Actor input object example

```json
{
  "keyword": "\"Data Engineer\" OR \"Machine Learning Engineer\"",
  "location": "\"United States\" OR \"United Kingdom\"",
  "timeFrame": "7d",
  "remoteOnly": false,
  "workArrangement": "",
  "employmentType": "",
  "experienceLevel": "",

```

# Actor output Schema

## `output` (type: `string`):

One flat row per job posting with curated camelCase fields — jobTitle, organization, url, source (ATS platform), datePosted, derived locations, plus AI enrichment (salary, key skills, experience level, work arrangement, visa sponsorship, hiring-manager name/email).

## `report` (type: `string`):

HTML report with run status, success/error row counts, success rate, upstream calls, duration, and the filters used — written even on fatal crash.
