## 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.

### Pricing

**$1.00 per 1,000 results** — you only pay for successfully extracted jobs. Failed retries are never charged.

| Results | Estimated cost |
|---|---|
| 100 | ~$0.10 |
| 1,000 | ~$1.00 |
| 10,000 | ~$10.00 |
| 100,000 | ~$100.00 |

> Flat-rate alternatives typically charge $25–$49/month regardless of usage. At 1,000 results/month, this scraper costs significantly less with no commitment.

Use the **Max results** cap in the input to control your spend exactly.

***

### Performance

| Scenario | Results | Time |
|---|---|---|
| Single market, no filter | 2,400 | ~35s |
| Keyword + location, UK | ~500 | ~10s |
| 5 markets, maxItems=1,000 | 1,000 | ~15s |

Throughput: ~100 results/second with concurrent pagination.

***

### Technical details

- **Memory:** 256 MB
- **Retry:** Automatic retry on network errors, exponential backoff, 3 attempts per request
- **Dedup:** jobId-based deduplication within each run

***

### Known limitations

- **Apply URL:** links to the JobToday job detail page. Direct external application links are not available.
- **Salary:** Not published by all employers — will be `null` when unavailable. When no structured salary exists, the scraper attempts to extract a range from the job description text (e.g. "Typical earnings: £500–£2,000/month"). Use `salarySource` to distinguish: `"structured"` = set by employer, `"description"` = parsed from description text, `null` = no salary found.
- **Language filter:** Only meaningful when the target market has jobs in that language (e.g. `languageCodes: ["es"]` works for `countries: ["es"]`).
- **Markets:** Only `gb`, `es`, `fr`, `us` and `it` are active. Other country codes return no results.
