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. In JavaScript/TypeScript projects, use official [JavaScript/TypeScript client](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/js/docs.md): ```bash npm install apify-client ``` In Python projects, use official [Python client library](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/python/docs.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/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 ## CutShort Jobs Scraper: India Tech Roles & Salary Scrape CutShort job listings across India β€” title, company, salary range, skills, experience and location. No login, no cookies, pay per job. Built for recruiting feeds and hiring-signal pipelines. Use it as an MCP server in Claude, ChatGPT & AI agents. > ⚑ Part of a 74-scraper suite with 8,800+ runs Β· no login, no cookies, no ban risk. > > πŸ’Έ You are only charged for delivered results β€” empty searches, failed pages and duplicates are never billed. ### What it does CutShort is one of India's larger startup hiring platforms, and unlike most job boards it publishes a genuinely rich skills taxonomy β€” every listing carries an explicit skills array and a numeric experience band rather than free text buried in a description. This actor reads CutShort's own public JSON search surface over plain HTTP. No browser, no login, no cookies. It returns one record per job with the title, company, locations array, remote flag, the full skills list, the salary band as published, minimum and maximum years of experience as integers, role types, and the description. ### Input | Field | Type | Required | Default | Description | |---|---|---|---|---| | `searchSlugs` | array | no | `[]` | CutShort job-category slugs to scrape, e.g. 'remote-golang-jobs'. Leave empty to auto-discover categories from the jobs index. | | `maxJobs` | integer | no | `10` | Maximum jobs to return across all pages. | #### Example input ```json { "searchSlugs": [], "maxJobs": 10 } ```` ### Output One record per job. Field list and example below are taken from a real run, not a mock-up. | Field | Type | Example | |---|---|---| | `job_id` | string | `"67bd5df9d78a650029b66c32"` | | `title` | string | `"Senior Software Architect"` | | `company` | string | `"NeoGenCode Technologies Pvt Ltd"` | | `locations` | array | `["Bengaluru (Bangalore)"]` | | `remote` | boolean | `false` | | `skills` | array | `["MERN Stack", "MongoDB", "Express", "React…` | | `salary` | string | `"INR 3000000-7000000"` | | `experience_min_years` | number | `11` | | `experience_max_years` | number | `20` | | `role_types` | array | `["full_time"]` | | `description` | string | `"

No. It reads the same public JSON endpoint CutShort's own web app calls, which is why it needs no browser and costs a fraction of a browser-based scraper. #### Are the skills normalised? They are returned exactly as CutShort publishes them, including their own variants such as 'NodeJS (Node.js)'. Normalising them would be lossy and opinionated, so mapping is left to you. #### Is salary always present? No. Many Indian startup listings omit it. When CutShort publishes a band the field carries it as shown; when it does not, the field is absent rather than zero, so 'not disclosed' never looks like a real number. #### Can I filter to remote-only roles? Yes β€” every record carries a boolean `remote` flag, and `role_types` distinguishes full-time from contract and internship. ### Billing Pay per event: one `job-scraped` event per delivered record, charged only **after** the record is validated and stored. Empty results, blocked pages and duplicates are never charged. Store discounts apply automatically on paid Apify plans. ### Use in Claude, ChatGPT & any MCP agent This actor runs as an MCP server, so an AI agent can call it directly: ``` https://mcp.apify.com/?tools=themineworks/cutshort-jobs-scraper ``` ```python from apify_client import ApifyClient client = ApifyClient("YOUR_APIFY_TOKEN") run = client.actor("themineworks/cutshort-jobs-scraper").call(run_input={"searchSlugs": [], "maxJobs": 10}) for item in client.dataset(run["defaultDatasetId"]).iterate_items(): print(item) ``` ### Legal and compliance This actor collects only publicly available information β€” the same data any visitor can see without logging in. It does not access private or authenticated areas, does not attempt to bypass paywalls, and collects no personal data beyond what the source already publishes openly. You are responsible for using the output in line with the source site's terms and with the data protection law that applies to you.
