## 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

## Jobindex Scraper

Scrape job listings from **Jobindex.dk**, Denmark's largest and best-known job board. Give it a Danish keyword and it returns clean, structured job data: titles, companies, locations, posting dates, deadlines, and direct application links. No login, no cookies, no browser automation.

### What this actor does

Jobindex.dk lists tens of thousands of active vacancies across every Danish industry. This scraper searches the board by keyword, walks the paginated results, and outputs one clean JSON row per job. It reads the same structured data the site uses to render its results, so you get reliable fields instead of brittle HTML scraping.

### Why use it

- **Recruitment and sourcing** — build a live feed of open roles for a market or discipline.
- **Labour-market research** — track hiring volume, employers, and locations over time.
- **Job aggregation** — feed a job board or newsletter with fresh Danish vacancies.
- **Competitor hiring intelligence** — see who is hiring, for what, and where.
- **Lead generation** — companies actively hiring are companies that are growing.

No account and no cookies are required. The actor runs over Danish residential proxies for reliable, geo-correct access.

### How to scrape Jobindex data

1. Add the actor to your Apify account (or run it via the API).
2. Enter a **Danish search keyword** in `searchQuery` — for example `udvikler` (developer), `sygeplejerske` (nurse), `ingeniør` (engineer), or `lærer` (teacher).
3. Optionally set a **location** filter such as `København`, `Aarhus`, or `Odense`.
4. Set **maxResults** to how many listings you want.
5. Keep the default **residential DK proxy** configuration.
6. Run the actor. Results appear in the dataset and can be exported to JSON, CSV, Excel, or fetched via the API.

Because Jobindex is a Danish-language site, searches work best with Danish keywords. Search a broad term (`udvikler`) for volume, or a specific title for precision.

### Input

| Field | Type | Description |
|-------|------|-------------|
| `searchQuery` | string | Danish search keyword. Defaults to `udvikler` (developer) if empty. |
| `location` | string | Optional city/region filter (matches area, city, and postal code). Leave empty for all of Denmark. |
| `maxResults` | integer | Maximum number of listings to scrape. Default `100`. |
| `proxyConfiguration` | object | Proxy settings. Defaults to Apify residential proxies in Denmark (DK). |

#### Example input

```json
{
    "searchQuery": "udvikler",
    "location": "København",
    "maxResults": 100,
    "proxyConfiguration": {
        "useApifyProxy": true,
        "apifyProxyGroups": ["RESIDENTIAL"],
        "apifyProxyCountry": "DK"
    }
}
````

### Output

Each job listing is a flat JSON object.

| Field | Type | Description |
|-------|------|-------------|
| `jobTitle` | string | Job position title (Danish). |
| `company` | string | Hiring company name. |
| `location` | string | Full workplace location (street, postal code, city). |
| `area` | string | City or region label shown on the listing. |
| `zipcode` | string | Danish postal code. |
| `remote` | boolean | Whether the job offers remote / home working. |
| `postedDate` | string | When the job was first posted (ISO 8601). |
| `deadline` | string | Application deadline / last active date (ISO 8601). |
| `applicationUrl` | string | Direct link to apply for the job. |
| `companyUrl` | string | Company website or Jobindex company profile. |
| `companyLogo` | string | URL of the company logo image. |
| `source` | string | Original source of the posting, if provided. |
| `jobId` | string | Jobindex internal job identifier. |
| `url` | string | Direct URL to the job listing on Jobindex. |
| `scrapedAt` | string | ISO 8601 timestamp of when the data was collected. |

#### Example output

```json
{
    "jobTitle": "Junior Frontend-udvikler",
    "company": "Vertica A/S",
    "location": "Åboulevarden 69, 8000 Aarhus C",
    "area": "Aarhus C",
    "zipcode": "8000",
    "remote": false,
    "postedDate": "2026-07-08T00:00:00.000Z",
    "deadline": "2026-08-05T00:00:00.000Z",
    "applicationUrl": "https://vertica.career.emply.com/apply/junior-frontend-udvikler/gncb4x#jobdk",
    "companyUrl": "https://www.vertica.dk/",
    "companyLogo": "https://www.jobindex.dk/img/logo/3_applogo_vertica_600_20260106.png",
    "source": null,
    "jobId": "h1681591",
    "url": "https://www.jobindex.dk/vis-job/h1681591",
    "scrapedAt": "2026-07-10T09:00:00.000Z"
}
```

### Cost estimate

Jobindex serves 20 listings per request, so a run is cheap and fast. Scraping a few hundred jobs takes seconds of compute and a handful of proxy requests. Pricing follows Apify's pay-per-result model: you are charged per job listing returned, so cost scales directly with `maxResults`.

### Limitations and notes

- **Danish keywords work best.** Jobindex is a Danish-language board; English terms return fewer or no matches.
- **Location is filtered on the fetched results.** Jobindex does not expose a simple location query parameter, so the `location` filter matches against each job's area, city, and postal code. A rare location combined with a low `maxResults` may return fewer rows than requested.
- **No salary field.** Danish job listings on Jobindex rarely publish salary, so no salary column is provided.
- **Result depth.** Jobindex caps a single search at roughly 50 pages (about 1,000 listings). Narrow the keyword to reach deeper into a large result set.

# Actor input Schema

## `searchQuery` (type: `string`):

Danish search keyword (e.g. 'udvikler' = developer, 'sygeplejerske' = nurse, 'ingeniør' = engineer). Defaults to 'udvikler' if empty.

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

Optional city or region filter (e.g. 'København', 'Aarhus', 'Odense'). Matches on the job's area, city and postal code. Leave empty for all of Denmark.

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