## 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

## Jobzone.no Scraper

Extract live job listings from [jobzone.no](https://jobzone.no), a Norwegian
regional staffing and recruitment agency ("bemanningsbyrå") with offices
across Norway — Oslo, Trondheim, Bergen, Stavanger, Bodø, Tromsø and more.
Jobzone places candidates in construction, industry, logistics, retail,
health and office roles for client companies as well as its own internal
vacancies.

No login, no cookies, no CAPTCHA. The actor calls Jobzone's own public
listings API directly, so runs are fast and don't depend on rendering a
browser.

### What you get

For every open position on jobzone.no:

- Job title and full ad headline
- Hiring company (or "Jobzone" for the agency's own openings)
- Office location and workplace address
- Employment type (full-time / part-time / temp-seasonal)
- Number of vacancies on the ad
- Application deadline
- Direct URL to the listing
- Optional: full job ad text and skill tags (enable "Fetch full details")

### How to scrape Jobzone.no data

1. Open the actor and leave **Search Query** and **Location** empty to pull
   every currently open position across Norway, or fill in a Norwegian
   keyword (e.g. `tømrer`, `mekaniker`, `selger`) and/or a city (e.g.
   `Oslo`, `Trondheim`) to narrow the results.
2. Set **Max Results** to the number of listings you want (default 50).
3. Turn on **Fetch full details** if you also want the full job ad text and
   skill tags — this costs one extra request per job, so it's off by
   default.
4. Click **Start** and read the results from the Dataset tab, or pull them
   via the API.

Jobzone is a regional agency, not a national job board — at any given time
it typically has somewhere between a dozen and a few dozen open positions
site-wide. Leaving both search fields empty (browse mode) is the most
reliable way to get results; a specific keyword + city combination can
easily match zero listings if nothing in that niche happens to be open
right now.

### Input

| Field | Type | Description |
|---|---|---|
| `searchQuery` | string | Norwegian job keyword (e.g. `tømrer`, `mekaniker`, `sjåfør`). Leave empty to browse every open position. |
| `location` | string | Norwegian city or office name (e.g. `Oslo`, `Bergen`). Leave empty for all of Norway. |
| `includeDetails` | boolean | Visit each job's detail page for the full ad text and skill tags. Default `false`. |
| `maxResults` | integer | Maximum number of listings to return. Default `50`. |
| `proxyConfiguration` | object | Apify proxy settings. The default automatic proxy works fine — jobzone.no has no bot-blocking. |

Example input:

```json
{
  "searchQuery": "tømrer",
  "location": "Oslo",
  "includeDetails": true,
  "maxResults": 20
}
```

### Output

Each dataset item looks like this:

```json
{
  "jobId": "73522",
  "jobTitle": "ANLEGGSLEDER",
  "headline": "Prosjektleder / Anleggsleder – Betong. Store prosjekter. Store muligheter.",
  "company": "Jobzone",
  "location": "Hønefoss",
  "address": "Kartverksveien 5",
  "jobType": "Heltid",
  "positions": 1,
  "deadline": "Snarest",
  "imminentDeadline": false,
  "tags": ["Anleggsleder", "Prosjektleder bygg", "Betongelementer", "BAS / Formann", "Produksjonsledelse"],
  "description": "Vil du lede krevende betong- og råbyggprosjekter for en av regionens mest solide aktører? ...",
  "url": "https://jobzone.no/ledige-stillinger/73522",
  "scrapedAt": "2026-09-02T19:40:00.000Z"
}
```

`tags` and `description` are only populated when `includeDetails` is
enabled — with it off, the actor skips the detail-page request entirely for
speed.

### Why scrape jobzone.no

Jobzone doesn't publish an open jobs feed or API for third parties — the
only way to track its vacancies programmatically is to read the same
endpoint its own website uses. Useful for:

- **Regional labor-market monitoring** — track blue-collar and staffing
  demand across Jobzone's Norwegian offices over time.
- **Recruitment and HR tech** — aggregate Jobzone's listings alongside
  other Norwegian job boards for a fuller market view.
- **Competitive intelligence** — see which client companies Jobzone is
  actively staffing for, and where.

### Cost estimate

Runs are cheap: a full browse-mode run (all open positions, no details)
typically makes a single API call and finishes in a few seconds. Enabling
`includeDetails` adds one HTTP request per job — even at the site's largest
observed listing count (a few dozen), that's still well under a minute of
compute. A run's usage cost only settles after it reports SUCCEEDED.

### Limitations

- Jobzone.no's own open-position count is small (typically a dozen to a few
  dozen at any time) — this actor can only return what's currently posted.
- Salary is not disclosed on jobzone.no listings, so no salary field is
  returned.
- `AreaFreetext` filtering on Jobzone's own API doesn't reliably narrow
  results server-side, so `searchQuery` and `location` are matched
  client-side against the job title, headline, and office location/address.

# Actor input Schema

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

Job keyword to search for, in Norwegian (e.g. 'tomrer', 'mekaniker', 'selger', 'sjafor'). Leave empty to browse every currently open position -- jobzone.no lists a small, fast-moving pool of vacancies at any given time, so the empty/browse mode is the most reliable way to get results.

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

Optional Norwegian city or office name to narrow the search (e.g. 'Oslo', 'Trondheim', 'Bergen', 'Stavanger'). Leave empty for all of Norway.

## `includeDetails` (type: `boolean`):

Visit each job's detail page for the full job ad text and skill tags. Slower: one extra request per job.

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

Maximum number of job listings to return.

## `proxyConfiguration` (type: `object`):

Apify proxy settings. Default automatic (free) Apify proxy works for jobzone.no -- no residential needed.

## Actor input object example

```json
{
  "includeDetails": false,
  "maxResults": 20,
  "proxyConfiguration": {
    "useApifyProxy": true
  }
}
```
