## 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".

### Input parameters

| Parameter | Required | Description |
|-----------|----------|-------------|
| `maxResults` | No | Max job listings to return (default: 20) |
| `maxPages` | No | Max directory pages to scan, ~10 jobs each (default: 5) |

### How to use

1. Click **Try for free** or go to the **Input** tab
2. Set how many results you want (default: 20)
3. Optionally adjust max directory pages to scan
4. Click **Start**
5. Download results from the **Dataset** tab

| 20 | ~$0.08 | ~3 min |
| 50 | ~$0.20 | ~8 min |
| 100 | ~$0.40 | ~15 min |

### Limitations

- **No category/role filtering** -- the scraper returns featured jobs across all categories
- **Speed** -- each job requires a separate page load (~2-3 seconds each)
- **Featured jobs only** -- returns CutShort's featured/promoted listings, not the full database

### Tips

- **Start small** -- test with 10-20 results first to verify data quality
- **CutShort is curated** -- fewer listings than Naukri, but higher quality startup jobs
- **Use the Apify scheduler** to run daily and track new tech job postings

### Integrations

Connect CutShort job data to your workflow:

- **Google Sheets** -- auto-export to spreadsheet
- **Webhooks** -- trigger on new data
- **API** -- access results via Apify API
- **Zapier / Make** -- connect to 1000+ apps

### FAQ

**Do I need a CutShort account?**
No. The scraper accesses publicly visible job listings and detail pages.

**How does CutShort compare to Naukri?**
CutShort has fewer listings but focuses on curated tech/startup jobs with better salary transparency and company details.

**What salary currency is used?**
Salaries are in INR (Indian Rupees). Annual CTC (Cost to Company) is the standard format.
