## 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.

### Why use this scraper?

- **Full-text job descriptions** — HTML, plain text and Markdown formats included in every result
- **Structured salary data** — minimum, maximum, currency and pay period extracted from schema.org markup
- **Work model filter** — filter on-site, remote or hybrid roles directly
- **Contract type filter** — permanent, fixed-term, freelance and internship
- **Repost detection** — 90-day deduplication window flags recurring listings so you don't process duplicates
- **Age filter** — `daysOld` parameter limits results to recently published jobs
- **50,000+ active listings** accessible without authentication

### Pricing

This actor uses **Pay Per Result** pricing — you only pay for what you actually get.

| Tier | Price |
|---|---|
| **This actor** | **$1.50 per 1,000 results** |
| Flat-rate alternatives | $49–$299/month regardless of usage |

Scraping 500 jobs costs $0.75. Scraping 10,000 jobs costs $15.00.

***

### Performance

| Scenario | Results | Time |
|---|---|---|
| Keyword search, `fetchDetails: true` | 100 jobs | ~3 min |
| Keyword search, `fetchDetails: false` | 500 jobs | ~2 min |
| Full site crawl, all pages | 5,000+ jobs | ~2–3 hr |

Performance varies with result count and network conditions. The actor applies human-like request pacing to avoid rate limits.

***

### Known limitations

- **Salary:** Not all listings include structured salary data; `salaryMin` / `salaryMax` will be `null` in those cases.
- **Promoted listings:** Promoted jobs appear at the top of every page and may be de-duplicated across pages automatically.

***

### Technical details

- **Platform:** Apify
- **Memory:** 256 MB
- **Concurrency:** Conservative request rate with Gaussian sleep between requests
