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 ## Jobsplus Malta Job Scraper ![Jobsplus Malta Scraper](https://i.imgur.com/jtrfkW7.png) ![Jobsplus Malta Scraper](https://i.imgur.com/EjY62ke.png) Extract job vacancies from **Jobsplus** — Malta's official public employment service at [jobsplus.gov.mt](https://jobsplus.gov.mt).

The `company` field is always `null`. - Vacancy publication dates are not exposed by the platform. The `publishDate` field is always `null`. - All salary amounts are in EUR — Malta uses the Euro. - Vacancies are typically active for one month from publication. - `isRepost` is always `false` because Jobsplus does not currently expose repost metadata. The field is retained for cross-actor schema consistency so pipelines combining multiple scrapers do not break. If Jobsplus adds repost information in future, the field will reflect it automatically. - `company` is always `null` because employer names are hidden behind a registered account on Jobsplus. The field is retained for cross-actor schema consistency. # Actor input Schema ## `keyword` (type: `string`): Search keyword to filter vacancies (e.g. 'chef', 'driver', 'nurse'). ## `industry` (type: `integer`): Industry filter code.
