## 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

## Ledigajobb.se Scraper

Extract job listings from [ledigajobb.se](https://ledigajobb.se), a major Swedish general job board, as clean structured JSON. Search by keyword or filter by city and get job titles, employers, locations, employment type, salary (when published) and full descriptions in one run.

No login. No cookies. No browser automation. The actor reads ledigajobb.se's own listing pages to find jobs, then parses the `JobPosting` structured data embedded on each job page — the same data Google reads to power its job search results.

### What this actor does

Given a search keyword and/or a Swedish city, this actor finds matching job listings on ledigajobb.se and returns one row per job with:

- Job title
- Hiring company and company website
- Workplace city, region and country
- Employment type (Heltid/full-time, Deltid/part-time, ...)
- Industry/occupation category
- Salary range, currency and period, when the recruiter published one
- Full job description
- Posted date and expiry date
- Company logo and direct job URL

ledigajobb.se is one of the larger general job boards in Sweden, positioning itself as a successor destination after Blocket Jobb shut down. It complements Sweden's public employment service board and pan-European staffing agencies already in this catalog.

### Why use it

- **Job market research** — track how many roles match a keyword or city across the Swedish market.
- **Recruitment and sourcing** — build a live feed of open positions for a role, sector or region.
- **Salary benchmarking** — the share of listings with a published salary gives a real market signal per role.
- **Aggregators and job boards** — feed Swedish listings into your own product.

### How to scrape ledigajobb.se data

1. Open the actor and set a **Search Query** (for example `sjuksköterska`, `lager`, `projektledare`). Swedish keywords work best since ledigajobb.se is a Swedish board. Multiple words are matched as an AND against the job title.
2. Optionally set **Location** to a Swedish city or municipality (for example `stockholm`, `göteborg`, `malmö`) to scope results to that area. Leave empty for all of Sweden.
3. Set **Max Results** to how many listings you want.
4. Leave the proxy on the default automatic setting and click **Start**.

The actor paginates ledigajobb.se's own listing pages (`/lediga-jobb`, or `/lediga-jobb/{city}` when a location is set) to find candidate job cards, filters them client-side against your search query, then fetches each matching detail page and parses the structured `JobPosting` data (the same schema.org markup ledigajobb.se feeds to Google for its job-search rich results) plus the full description. Results are written to the dataset as they're collected. Export as JSON, CSV or Excel.

Leave **Search Query** and **Location** empty (or use `{}` as input) and the actor returns the newest listings from ledigajobb.se with no filter — a run with no input still returns data.

### Input

| Field | Type | Description |
|-------|------|-------------|
| `searchQuery` | string | Keyword to filter job listings by (matched against the job title). Swedish keywords work best. Leave empty for the newest listings with no filter. |
| `location` | string | Swedish city or municipality to filter by (e.g. `stockholm`, `göteborg`, `malmö`). Leave empty for all of Sweden. |
| `maxResults` | integer | Maximum number of listings to return. |
| `proxyConfiguration` | object | Apify proxy settings. ledigajobb.se has no active anti-bot challenge (Cloudflare CDN only, verified live), so the default automatic proxy is sufficient — no residential tier needed. |

#### Example input

```json
{
    "searchQuery": "sjuksköterska",
    "location": "stockholm",
    "maxResults": 20,
    "proxyConfiguration": {
        "useApifyProxy": true
    }
}
```

### Cost estimate

This actor uses plain HTTP requests (listing pages + server-rendered detail pages) with no browser, so runs are cheap and fast. Each result costs one detail-page request plus a small, shared cost for the listing pages used to discover candidates. Exact cost depends on your Apify plan and proxy usage — check your run's usage summary for the exact figure. That figure only settles after the run reports SUCCEEDED; reading it mid-run shows a cost far below the eventual total.

### Limitations

- **Salary** is only populated when the recruiter filled it in on ledigajobb.se — most listings leave it blank, so `salaryMin`/`salaryMax`/`salaryCurrency`/`salaryPeriod` are `null` on the majority of results. This is a fact about the source data, not a scraping gap.
- **Search matches the job title text**, not the full description — ledigajobb.se's own search page (`/sok`) is disallowed by `robots.txt`, so this actor paginates the public listing pages instead and filters client-side against the title, which is robots-compliant.
- **Location** filters by the site's own city/municipality path (e.g. `/lediga-jobb/stockholm`). An unrecognized city returns no results rather than an error.

### Related scrapers

Building a Swedish or European jobs dataset? These sibling actors follow the same clean-JSON approach:

- **Adecco Scraper** — pan-European staffing agency listings, including Sweden
- **Manpower Scraper** — pan-European staffing agency listings, including Sweden
- **Randstad Scraper** — pan-European staffing agency listings, including Sweden
- **Jobbird Scraper** — the Dutch equivalent general job board
- [EU Vacancy Feed](https://apify.com/studio-amba/eu-vacancy-feed) — runs this board alongside up to 49 other European job boards (general boards, public employment services, and sector boards), merges everything into one deduplicated feed, and flags vacancies posted on more than one board at once.

### Maintained by Studio Amba

We run 700+ scrapers for European websites, and the priority is keeping
every one of them working. Automated runs test this actor against the live
site and verify the output is complete. When the website changes, the
scraper usually gets repaired the same day, without you having to report
anything. Questions and issues go straight to the people who built it, and
most get an answer the same day.

### Need this data on a schedule, or a custom version?

We run this scraper as a managed service for businesses: scheduled runs,
deduplication, delta detection, and delivery to your inbox, Google Sheets,
or API, maintenance included. We can also build a custom version with your
exact fields and filters, or combine multiple sources into one feed.

# Actor input Schema

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

Keyword to filter job listings by (matched against the job title, e.g. 'sjuksköterska', 'lager', 'projektledare'). Swedish keywords work best since ledigajobb.se is a Swedish board. Leave empty to get the newest listings with no filter.

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

Swedish city or municipality to filter by (e.g. 'stockholm', 'göteborg', 'malmö'). Leave empty for all of Sweden.

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