## Pricing

from $5.00 / 1,000 job details

This Actor is paid per event. You are not charged for the Apify platform usage, but only a fixed price for specific events.

## What's an Apify Actor?

An Actor is a serverless cloud program that runs on the Apify platform. It has two run modes.
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.

Apify vocabulary and the platform model are defined once, in the agent quickstart at https://apify.com/agents.md.

## 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.

Do not guess an integration path. Every one of them is in the agent quickstart at https://apify.com/agents.md: the Apify MCP server, Agent Skills with the Apify CLI, the JavaScript and Python clients, the REST API, and the account-free path for an agent with no human to sign in. It also carries the rule on stating cost before the first paid run.

For examples already wired to this Actor's own input schema, see the [API](#api) section below.

Each client library has reference documentation the quickstart does not restate: [JavaScript/TypeScript](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/js/docs.md) (`npm install apify-client`) and [Python](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/python/docs.md) (`pip install apify-client`).

# README

## Python.org Job Board Scraper

Pull every open position from the official [Python.org Job Board](https://www.python.org/jobs/) as clean JSON, CSV, or Excel. Built for recruiters tracking Python hiring, job aggregators, salary researchers, and AI agents that need a reliable feed of Python roles without parsing HTML.

### What you get

For every job: title, company, location, job types (Back end, Machine Learning, Web, ...), category, posting date, and the job URL. With **Fetch job details** on (default), each record also carries the full description, requirements, restrictions such as "Telecommuting is OK", the company blurb, contact name, contact email, company website, and every link in the posting including apply URLs.

```json
{
  "id": 8139,
  "url": "https://www.python.org/jobs/8139/",
  "title": "Senior Staff Engineer - Origination & New Products",
  "company": "tem",
  "location": "Remote (UK / EU)",
  "job_types": ["Back end", "Cloud", "Lead"],
  "category": "Developer / Engineer",
  "posted_at": "2026-09-18T08:56:30+00:00",
  "is_new": true,
  "job_description": "We're hiring a Senior Staff Engineer to lead ...",
  "requirements": "Proven technical leadership at Staff or Senior Staff level ...",
  "restrictions": "Telecommuting is OK\nNo Agencies Please",
  "about_the_company": "tem builds the pricing infrastructure ...",
  "contact_email": "luke@tem.energy",
  "contact_web": "https://jobs.ashbyhq.com/tem",
  "links": ["https://jobs.ashbyhq.com/tem?utm_source=PythonOrg"]
}
```

### Filters

- **Keyword**: keep only jobs whose title or company contains the text.
- **Posted after**: only jobs posted on or after a date, handy for daily runs.
- **Category, job type, location slugs**: restrict to one python.org facet, using the slug from the site's own URLs (for example `developer-engineer`, `machine-learning`, `remote-remote-worldwide`).
- **Maximum jobs** and **Maximum listing pages** cap the run.

### Pricing

Pay per event. You are charged one `job-listing` event per job when details are off, or one `job-detail` event per job when details are on. Nothing else. Set a maximum total charge on the run and the Actor stops cleanly when it is reached.

### Use with AI agents

Every field is a flat, predictable key, so the dataset drops straight into an agent's context or a spreadsheet. Run it on a schedule with **Posted after** set to yesterday to get only new postings.

### Fair use

This Actor reads public listings, sends one request per page and per job, identifies itself with a clear user agent, and does not bypass any access control. Please respect the job board's terms when reusing the data.

# Actor input Schema

## `maxItems` (type: `integer`):

Stop after this many jobs have been saved.

## `fetchDetails` (type: `boolean`):

Open each job page to capture the full description, requirements, restrictions, and contact details. Costs one job-detail event per job instead of one job-listing event.

## `keyword` (type: `string`):

Only keep jobs whose title or company contains this text (case-insensitive).

## `postedAfter` (type: `string`):

Only keep jobs posted on or after this date (YYYY-MM-DD).

## `category` (type: `string`):

Restrict to one python.org category, using the slug from the site URL, for example developer-engineer, data-analysis, or devops. Only one of category, jobType, and location applies at a time.

## `jobType` (type: `string`):

Restrict to one job type slug, for example back-end, machine-learning, or web.

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

Restrict to one location slug as it appears in python.org job URLs, for example remote-remote-worldwide.

## `maxPages` (type: `integer`):

Safety cap on how many listing pages to walk. Each page holds 25 jobs.

## Actor input object example

```json
{
  "maxItems": 100,
  "fetchDetails": true,
  "maxPages": 20
}
```

# API

You can run this Actor programmatically using our API. Below are code examples in JavaScript, Python, and CLI, as well as the OpenAPI specification and MCP server setup.

## JavaScript example

```javascript
import { ApifyClient } from 'apify-client';

// Initialize the ApifyClient with your Apify API token
// Replace the '<YOUR_API_TOKEN>' with your token
const client = new ApifyClient({
    token: '<YOUR_API_TOKEN>',
});

// Prepare Actor input
const input = {
    "keyword": ""
};

// Run the Actor and wait for it to finish
const run = await client.actor("tapedawn/python-org-jobs-scraper").call(input);

// Fetch and print Actor results from the run's dataset (if any)
console.log('Results from dataset');
console.log(`💾 Check your data here: https://console.apify.com/storage/datasets/${run.defaultDatasetId}`);
const { items } = await client.dataset(run.defaultDatasetId).listItems();
items.forEach((item) => {
    console.dir(item);
});

## Python example

```python
from apify_client import ApifyClient

# Initialize the ApifyClient with your Apify API token
# Replace '<YOUR_API_TOKEN>' with your token.
client = ApifyClient("<YOUR_API_TOKEN>")

# Prepare the Actor input
run_input = { "keyword": "" }

# Run the Actor and wait for it to finish
run = client.actor("tapedawn/python-org-jobs-scraper").call(run_input=run_input)

# Fetch and print Actor results from the run's dataset (if there are any)
print(f"💾 Check your data here: https://console.apify.com/storage/datasets/{run.default_dataset_id}")
for item in client.dataset(run.default_dataset_id).iterate_items():
    print(item)

## CLI example

```bash
echo '{
  "keyword": ""
}' |
apify call tapedawn/python-org-jobs-scraper --silent --output-dataset

```

## MCP server setup

```json
{
    "mcpServers": {
        "apify": {
            "type": "http",
            "url": "https://mcp.apify.com/?tools=fetch-actor-details,tapedawn/python-org-jobs-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).
