The Actor is free to use, and you only pay for the Apify platform usage, which gets cheaper the higher subscription plan you have.

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. For more details, see Apify documentation as [Markdown index](https://docs.apify.com/llms.txt) and [Markdown full-text](https://docs.apify.com/llms-full.txt). # README ## Job Postings Scraper — Greenhouse, Lever, Ashby, Workable, Recruitee Scrape live job postings **straight from company career boards** — via each ATS provider's stable, public JSON API. Not LinkedIn HTML that breaks every month. One unified schema across all five providers. Built for: recruiting intelligence, hiring-signal lead generation ("who is hiring SDRs right now?"), job aggregators, market/comp research. ### Why this scraper LinkedIn and Indeed scrapers are the lowest-rated job actors on the store — they fight anti-bot walls and silently miss records, apply URLs, and fields. This actor goes to the **source**: the ATS boards companies actually publish to. Those JSON endpoints are versioned public APIs that have been stable for years. - **Five ATS providers, one schema.** Greenhouse, Lever, Ashby, Workable, Recruitee. - **Apply URL always included** — it's the canonical posting URL from the ATS itself. - **Compensation captured where published** (Lever salary ranges, Ashby compensation tiers). - **No proxies needed, no anti-bot roulette** — near-100% success rate by construction. - Per-board run summary (`RUN_SUMMARY` in the key-value store) tells you exactly which boards succeeded, how many jobs each returned, and any errors. No silent failures. - **robots.txt respected.** SmartRecruiters is intentionally not supported — its robots.txt blocks all crawlers except LinkedInBot, so we leave it alone. ### Input | Field | Type | Default | Notes | |---|---|---|---| | `boardUrls` | array | — | Career board URLs, one per company (see formats below). Shorthand `provider:company` also works. | | `includeDescription` | boolean | `true` | Full plain-text description per posting. | | `maxJobsPerBoard` | integer | `500` | Safety cap per company. | Supported URL formats: ```` https://boards.greenhouse.io/ or greenhouse: https://jobs.lever.co/ or lever: https://jobs.ashbyhq.com/ or ashby: https://apply.workable.com/ or workable: https://.recruitee.com or recruitee: ```` ```json { "boardUrls": ["https://boards.greenhouse.io/gitlab", "lever:spotify", "ashby:openai"], "includeDescription": true } ```` ### Output schema One dataset item per job posting: ```json { "source": "lever", "company": "spotify", "companyName": null, "id": "5c2a4bb4-cb46-4c39-...", "title": "Backend Engineer, Podcast Platform", "url": "https://jobs.lever.co/spotify/5c2a4bb4-...", "location": "Stockholm, Sweden", "secondaryLocations": ["London, UK"], "remote": false, "department": "Engineering", "team": "Podcast Mission", "employmentType": "Full-time", "compensation": "90000-120000 EUR per-year-salary", "publishedAt": "2026-06-12T09:31:00.000Z", "updatedAt": null, "description": "Spotify is looking for ... (plain text)", "scrapedAt": "2026-07-04T10:00:00.000Z" } ``` Fields that a provider does not publish are `null` — never guessed. `remote` is `true`/`false` when the ATS states it, `null` when unknown. ### Pricing **Pay per result. 1 result = 1 job posting.** | Jobs | Cost at $1.00 / 1,000 | |---|---| | 1,000 | $1.00 | | 25,000 | $25.00 | | 100,000 | $100.00 | Compare: LinkedIn job actors run $29.99/month rental *plus* usage — and miss apply URLs. ### Finding boards to scrape Any company careers page that redirects to `boards.greenhouse.io/...`, `jobs.lever.co/...`, `jobs.ashbyhq.com/...`, `apply.workable.com/...` or `*.recruitee.com` works. Paste the URL as-is. ### Compliance & fair use These are public, unauthenticated JSON APIs that the providers publish precisely so postings can be syndicated. No login walls, no rate-limit evasion — requests are throttled to one per domain per second and retried politely on transient failures. **Why no SmartRecruiters or LinkedIn/Indeed.** SmartRecruiters' `robots.txt` disallows every crawler except `LinkedInBot` from the entire site — so we don't scrape it. LinkedIn and Indeed are excluded by design; see the FAQ. ### Using from API / MCP / AI agents ```bash curl -X POST "https://api.apify.com/v2/acts//run-sync-get-dataset-items?token=" \ -H "Content-Type: application/json" \ -d '{ "boardUrls": ["greenhouse:gitlab"], "includeDescription": false }' ``` Works out of the box with the [Apify MCP server](https://docs.apify.com/platform/integrations/mcp) — the input schema is fully described, so AI agents can call it as a tool ("get all open jobs at company X"). ### FAQ **A board returned zero jobs — why?** Check `RUN_SUMMARY` in the run's key-value store: either the company slug is wrong (typo, renamed board) or the board is empty. The error string is recorded per board. **Can you add Indeed/LinkedIn?** No — by design. This actor only uses stable ATS APIs; that is why it doesn't break. **Another ATS you need?** Open an issue — adding a provider with a public board API typically ships within a week (as long as its robots.txt allows it). **What about SmartRecruiters?** Not supported. Its `robots.txt` disallows every crawler except `LinkedInBot`. We won't spoof a user agent to get around that. ### Changelog - **0.1.0** (2026-07) — Initial release: Greenhouse, Lever, Ashby (incl. compensation), Workable, Recruitee. Unified schema, per-board run summary, per-domain crawl delay. *** Maintained by **Sturdy Data** — boring, reliable scrapers.
