## Pricing

from $3.40 / 1,000 results

This Actor is paid per event. You are not charged for the Apify platform usage, but only a fixed price for specific events.
Since this Actor supports Apify Store discounts, the price gets lower the higher subscription plan you have.

## 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

## ZipRecruiter Jobs Scraper

Collect ZipRecruiter job listings for a location and export one structured row per listing.

```json
{
  "location": "Seattle, WA",
  "page": 1,
  "maxItems": 100
}
```

### Accepted input

- `location` — city, state, or region used to select the listing feed.
- `page` — first results page to collect; defaults to `1`.
- `maxItems` — maximum saved rows; defaults to `100`. Use `0` for all available results.

### Results

Rows retain the available listing key, title, employer, location, description, application details, page context, and reported listing totals. Use `listing_key` to de-duplicate results across scheduled runs.

This feed is scoped by location. Use the Dice or Seek search Actors when a keyword-controlled search is required.

### Related Actors

Use [ZipRecruiter Company Jobs Scraper](https://apify.com/thenetaji/ziprecruiter-company-jobs-scraper) for one employer, or [All-in-One Job Boards Scraper](https://apify.com/thenetaji/job-boards-all-in-one-scraper) for Dice, Seek, and ZipRecruiter workflows in one Actor.

# Actor input Schema

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

Where to search, in the wording the board itself uses — a city, a state or a country. Left empty, each board returns whatever it serves a reader with no location set.

## `page` (type: `integer`):

Which page the search modes start from. Leave at 1 unless you are picking a run back up part-way through a result list.

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

Maximum number of rows to save. Set 0 for no limit.

## Actor input object example

```json
{
  "location": "New York, NY",
  "page": 1,
  "maxItems": 20
}
```

# Actor output Schema

## `dataset` (type: `string`):

All records scraped by this run

# 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 = {
    "location": "New York, NY",
    "page": 1,
    "maxItems": 20
};

// Run the Actor and wait for it to finish
const run = await client.actor("thenetaji/ziprecruiter-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 = {
    "location": "New York, NY",
    "page": 1,
    "maxItems": 20,
}

# Run the Actor and wait for it to finish
run = client.actor("thenetaji/ziprecruiter-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 '{
  "location": "New York, NY",
  "page": 1,
  "maxItems": 20
}' |
apify call thenetaji/ziprecruiter-jobs-scraper --silent --output-dataset

```

## MCP server setup

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