## 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

## Shine.com Jobs Scraper

Scrape **Shine.com job listings** (one of India's largest job boards) by keyword and city: title, company,
locations, **experience range and salary as numbers**, skills, industry, posting date and link. Turn on
**monitor mode** to get only the jobs you have not received before on every scheduled run.

For recruiters and staffing agencies, HR-tech and job-alert products, salary and demand research, and
sales teams tracking which companies are hiring.

### What you get

- **Keyword + city searches** using Shine's own search pages (e.g. *data analyst* in *Bangalore*)
- **Experience and salary parsed**: `3 to 6 Yrs` → `experienceMinYears 3`, `experienceMaxYears 6`;
  `Rs 9 - 14 Lakh/Yr` → `salaryMin 900000`, `salaryMax 1400000`, `INR`, `year`
- **Skills, industry, "actively hiring" badges** and an exact `postedAt`
- **Monitor mode** for daily or hourly schedules: pay only for jobs you have not seen before
- **No personal data**: recruiter phone numbers and e-mail addresses are never collected
- Plain HTTP, no browser, no login. Typically 60 jobs in under 10 seconds

### Input

| Field | Description |
|---|---|
| `keywords` | Roles or skills, e.g. `python`, `data analyst`. One search each |
| `cities` | Optional cities; each keyword is searched in each city |
| `maxItems` | Total jobs to save (default 100) |
| `maxPagesPerKeyword` | Pages per search, 20 jobs per page (default 5) |
| `onlyNewJobs` / `monitorName` | Monitor mode |

```json
{
  "keywords": ["data analyst", "python developer"],
  "cities": ["Bangalore", "Pune"],
  "maxItems": 500,
  "onlyNewJobs": true
}
```

### Output

Same columns as every Actor in this job-data family.

```json
{
  "source": "shine",
  "site": "shine.com",
  "jobId": "19272187",
  "url": "https://www.shine.com/jobs/data-analyst-intern/creatigrity-technologies-pvt-ltd-hiring-for-creatigrity-technol ...",
  "title": "Data Analyst Intern",
  "company": "Creatigrity Technologies Pvt Ltd Hiring For Creatigrity Technologies Pvt Ltd",
  "location": "Bangalore",
  "locations": [
    "Bangalore"
  ],
  "country": "IN",
  "experienceMinYears": 0,
  "experienceMaxYears": 0,
  "salaryMin": 100000,
  "salaryMax": 100000,
  "salaryCurrency": "INR",
  "salaryPeriod": "year",
  "salaryText": "1.0 Lakh/Yr",
  "skills": [
    "report generation",
    "mis reporting",
    "data analysis"
  ],
  "categories": [
    "actively hiring"
  ],
  "description": null,
  "postedAt": "2026-07-25T02:51:07.000Z",
  "searchQuery": "data analyst",
  "searchLocation": "Bangalore",
  "isNew": null,
  "scrapedAt": "2026-09-18T11:38:44.789Z"
}
```

`description` and `categories` (industry) are filled when Shine includes them in its search results. Some
search pages include full descriptions and others do not, and the Actor never opens detail pages. A run
summary is saved to the key-value store as `SUMMARY`.

### Pricing

**$1.00 per 1,000 jobs** ($0.001 each), charged only for jobs saved to your dataset. Duplicates, failed
requests and (in monitor mode) jobs you already received are **never charged**. There is no custom start fee; Apify's standard
$0.00005 actor-start event applies once per run.

### Monitor mode

Turn on **Only new jobs**, save the input as a task and add a schedule. Each run returns only jobs not sent
to you before for that search. Seen job IDs live in a named key-value store `shine-jobs-scraper-seen` in your
own account; delete it to start over.

### FAQ

**Does it need a Shine account?** No. It reads Shine's public search pages, which Shine's robots.txt
allows, and never logs in, applies or opens detail pages.

**Why no recruiter contact details?** They are personal data. This Actor collects job and company
information only. Use the data in line with Shine's terms and applicable data-protection law.
