## 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.
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
## FINN.no Jobs Scraper
Extract job listings from **FINN.no** — Norway's largest job board with 50,000+ active positions. No API key required. Get full job descriptions, salary data, application deadlines, apply URLs and cross-run repost detection out of the box.
---
### Why use this scraper?
- **Full Norwegian coverage** — FINN.no dominates the Norwegian job market across all industries and regions
- **Rich structured output** — job title, company, location, salary range, application deadline, employment type and apply URL in every record
- **Three description formats** — HTML, plain text and Markdown for flexible downstream processing
- **Application deadline tracking** — `deadline` field lets you filter and alert on closing dates
- **Easy Apply detection** — `easyApply` flag identifies listings with FINN's native one-click application
- **Cross-run repost detection** — 90-day fingerprint identifies listings republished under a new ID
---

### Performance
| Scenario | Speed | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| List-only (`fetchDetails: false`) | ~300 listings/min | Fast — no detail page requests |
| With details (`fetchDetails: true`) | ~40–60 listings/min | Includes detail page per listing |
| Large run (5,000+ listings) | ~40 listings/min | Stable with retry logic |
Memory usage: 256 MB (no browser).
***
### Pricing
**$1.50 per 1,000 results** — pay only for what you extract.
| Volume | Cost |
|---|---|
| 1,000 results | $1.50 |
| 10,000 results | $15.00 |
| 50,000 results | $75.00 |
Compare this to flat-rate scraping tools that charge $50–200/month regardless of usage. At typical usage volumes, this actor is 3–10× cheaper.
***
### Known limitations
- **Salary data** — approximately 60–70% of listings do not publish salary information; `salaryMin` will be `null` in those cases
- **Apply URL** — native FINN.no applications (where the candidate applies directly within FINN) return `null` for `applyUrl`; the job `url` should be used instead
- **Promoted listings** — "Betalt plassering" (paid placement) ads appear in results and are included in the output
- **Search scope** — the scraper targets the FINN.no fulltime jobs vertical (`/job/fulltime/search.html`). This covers the majority of Norwegian job listings
***
### Technical details
- **Location**: Norway
- **Platform**: FINN.no
- **Output format**: JSON (Apify Dataset)
- **Authentication required**: No
- **Default memory**: 256 MB
