## 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

## Job Board Scraper

Get every open role from a company's careers page, whichever system they use. One input, one consistent output format, across **eight systems**: Greenhouse, Ashby, Lever, Workable, Rippling, Personio, SmartRecruiters and Recruitee.

Press **Start** to see it work on Stripe, OpenAI and GitLab.

### You do not need to know which platform a company uses

That is the part that normally makes this hard. Type `stripe` and the Actor finds the board itself. All of these inputs work:

```
stripe                              # just the company name
https://jobs.ashbyhq.com/openai     # a board URL you copied
greenhouse:airbnb                   # skip detection if you know the platform
```

Companies that migrated between systems sometimes leave both boards live. When that happens you get jobs from both, and every row says which platform it came from, so you can decide what to keep.

### One format, eight platforms

Each system names its fields differently. This Actor maps them all onto the same 19 fields, so a spreadsheet of jobs from four companies on three platforms lines up:

| Field | Example |
|---|---|
| `title` | `Abuse Research Engineer` |
| `company` / `companySlug` / `platform` | `Stripe` / `stripe` / `greenhouse` |
| `department` / `team` | `Business Development` |
| `location` / `locations` | `London, United Kingdom` / array for multi-location roles |
| `isRemote` / `workplaceType` | `true` / `Remote` |
| `employmentType` | `FullTime` |
| `publishedAt` / `updatedAt` | `2026-09-09T04:35:19-04:00` |
| `url` / `applyUrl` | Direct links to the posting and the application form |
| `descriptionText` | Full description as readable plain text |
| `descriptionHtml` | The original HTML, if you want the formatting |

Not every system publishes every field. Rippling exposes titles, departments, locations and links but no descriptions or dates; Personio omits the posting URL, so the canonical job page is constructed for you. Fields a platform does not provide come back empty rather than guessed.

### What people use it for

- **Recruiting intelligence.** Track what a list of competitors is hiring for, and where, week over week.
- **Job boards and aggregators.** Fill a niche board with fresh, structured postings from company career pages rather than re-scraping other aggregators.
- **Sales prospecting.** Hiring signals say a lot. A company opening ten sales roles is expanding; one hiring its first data engineer is building a team.
- **Market research.** Compare titles, departments, and remote policy across an industry.
- **Feeding AI agents.** Full plain-text descriptions with clean metadata, ready to embed.

### Filters

| Setting | What it does |
|---|---|
| **Job title contains** | Keep only matching titles, e.g. `engineer`. Case-insensitive. |
| **Remote jobs only** | Keep only roles the company marks remote. |
| **Max jobs per company** | Leave empty for every role. Large employers post several hundred. |
| **Include the full job description** | Turn off for a compact list of titles, locations and links. |

### Duplicates are removed, so you do not pay twice

Some platforms serve the same posting more than once. Rippling's board, for example, returns 656 entries for 348 real jobs. Every posting you get is distinct, and the log tells you how many duplicates were dropped.

### Why this does not break

It reads each platform's **official public job-board API**, not their HTML. There is no page layout to change under it and no bot challenge to trip. A company that is not on a given platform returns a clean "not found" rather than an empty result, and one unknown company never stops the rest of the run.

### What it cannot do, and why

- **Only these eight platforms.** Companies using Taleo, SuccessFactors, iCIMS, BambooHR or a hand-built careers page are not covered. You will get a clear message naming the company rather than silence.
- **The board name is not always the company name.** Some companies use a different slug than you would guess. If a company is not found, open their careers page and copy the URL, which always contains the right name.
- **No salary for most postings.** Very few companies publish pay in these APIs. Where a platform exposes it, it appears in the description text.
- **No applicant or recruiter data.** Public postings only.
- **`isRemote` is left empty when a company says nothing about location.** It is not guessed, so filtering on remote only returns roles actually marked remote.

Reads public, documented APIs that these platforms publish for exactly this purpose. Fast and cheap: there is no HTML to download or render.

# Actor input Schema

## `companies` (type: `array`):

Company names, board URLs, or platform:name. All of these work: stripe, https://jobs.ashbyhq.com/openai, greenhouse:airbnb. The platform is detected automatically across all eight supported systems, so you do not need to know which one a company uses.

## `platform` (type: `string`):

Leave empty to auto-detect, which is usually what you want. Set it to skip detection when you already know the platform.

## `titleKeyword` (type: `string`):

Only keep jobs whose title contains this text, for example "engineer" or "designer". Case-insensitive. Leave empty for all jobs.

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

Only keep jobs the company marks as remote. Jobs with no location information are excluded.

## `maxJobsPerCompany` (type: `integer`):

Leave empty for every open role. Large employers can post several hundred.

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

Descriptions are long. Turn this off for a compact list of titles, locations and links.

## Actor input object example

```json
{
  "companies": [
    "stripe",
    "openai",
    "gitlab"
  ],
  "platform": "",
  "remoteOnly": false,
  "includeDescription": true
}
```

# Actor output Schema

## `csv` (type: `string`):

The same results as a CSV file.

## MCP server setup

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