## What's an Apify Actor?

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.

# README

## Adzuna Jobs Scraper

Scrape job listings from [Adzuna](https://www.adzuna.com/) across 19 countries. Get job title, company, location, salary, and description for every listing.

### What does Adzuna Jobs Scraper do?

[Adzuna](https://www.adzuna.com/) is a global job search aggregator covering 19 countries including the US, UK, Australia, Germany, France, India, Canada, New Zealand, South Africa, and more. This actor extracts structured job listing data from Adzuna search results, ready for analysis, aggregation, or integration with your tools.

You provide one or more search queries and optionally a country and location filter. The actor returns structured data for each matching job listing.

### Supported countries

US, UK, Australia, Germany, France, India, Canada, New Zealand, South Africa, Poland, Netherlands, Italy, Spain, Austria, Belgium, Brazil, Mexico, Singapore, and Switzerland.

### Output fields

Each result contains the following fields:

| Field | Description |
|-------|-------------|
| `title` | Job title |
| `company` | Company name |
| `location` | Job location |
| `salary` | Salary information (when available; may be an Adzuna estimate) |
| `description_snippet` | Short description summary from search results |
| `url` | Direct link to the full job listing on Adzuna |
| `source` | Always `"adzuna"` |

### Example output

```json
{
    "title": "Senior Software Engineer",
    "company": "Microsoft",
    "location": "Seattle, WA",
    "salary": "$130,000 - $180,000 a year",
    "description_snippet": "We are looking for a talented engineer to join our cloud platform team...",
    "url": "https://www.adzuna.com/details/4123456789",
    "source": "adzuna"
}
````

### Input parameters

| Parameter | Required | Description |
|-----------|----------|-------------|
| `queries` | Yes | List of job search terms (e.g., `["software engineer", "data scientist"]`) |
| `country` | No | Two-letter country code (default: `us`). See supported countries above. |
| `location` | No | Location filter within the selected country (e.g., `"london"`, `"new york"`, `"berlin"`) |
| `maxResults` | No | Maximum number of job listings to return, across all queries (default: 50, max: 500) |

### Use cases

- **Job aggregation**: Combine Adzuna data with other job boards for comprehensive coverage across 19 countries
- **Salary research**: Compare salary ranges for the same role across different countries and locations
- **Hiring trend analysis**: Track which roles and locations are seeing the most job postings over time
- **Recruiter benchmarking**: Understand the competitive landscape for specific roles before posting your own listings
- **Market research**: Analyze job demand by industry, role, or geography

### Limitations

- Description snippets are short summaries, not full job descriptions. Visit the Adzuna listing URL for the complete description.
- Salary data is not always available. When present, it may be an estimate provided by Adzuna rather than the employer's stated salary.
- Results are sourced from Adzuna's search index, which aggregates listings from multiple job boards. Listing freshness depends on Adzuna's indexing.
