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 ## Jora Jobs Scraper Scrapes job listings from [Jora](https://au.jora.com) across five Asia-Pacific markets: **Australia, New Zealand, Singapore, Hong Kong, and Malaysia**. **Architecture:** JSON-HTML hybrid — job card metadata extracted from server-side embedded JSON attributes (`data-jd-payload`, `data-impression-*`), full descriptions fetched from the lightweight `/job/description/{id}` panel endpoint (6–16 KB vs 90 KB full page). No proxy required. No browser. **Pricing:** $0.89 / 1,000 results --- ### Input | Field | Type | Default | Description | |---|---|---|---| | `country` | string | `au` | Country site: `au`, `nz`, `sg`, `hk`, `my` | | `keyword` | string | — | Job title or skill to search. Leave empty for all jobs. | | `location` | string | — | City or region filter, e.g. `Sydney`, `Auckland`. | | `jobType` | string | — | `full_time`, `part_time`, `casual_temporary`, `contract`, `permanent` | | `postedWithin` | string | — | `24h`, `7d`, `14d`, or `30d` | | `sortBy` | string | `relevance` | `relevance` or `date` | | `fetchPanel` | boolean | `true` | Fetch full description panel per job. Disable for faster/cheaper SERP-only runs. | | `maxPages` | integer | `10` | Max SERP pages. Each page yields ~10–15 jobs. | | `maxJobs` | integer | — | Hard stop after N jobs. | #### Example input ```json { "country": "au", "keyword": "data analyst", "location": "Melbourne", "jobType": "full_time", "postedWithin": "7d", "sortBy": "date", "maxPages": 20, "fetchPanel": true } ```` *** ### Output Each result is a flat JSON object stored in the default dataset. | Field | Type | Source | Description | |---|---|---|---| | `jobId` | string | SERP | Hex unique ID from the job URL | | `title` | string | SERP | Job title | | `company` | string | SERP | Hiring company | | `location` | string | SERP | City/region | | `salary` | string|null | SERP | Salary badge, e.g. `$80,000 – $100,000 a year` | | `jobType` | string|null | SERP+Panel | `Full time`, `Part time`, `Contract`, `Casual/Temporary`, `Permanent` | | `workArrangement` | string|null | Panel | `Hybrid`, `Remote`, or `Office` | | `descriptionBullets` | string\[] | SERP | Key selling points shown on search results card | | `fullDescription` | string|null | Panel | Full plain-text job description | | `datePosted` | string|null | SERP+Panel | Human-readable age, e.g. `Posted 2d ago` | | `isSponsored` | boolean | SERP | True if promoted/sponsored listing | | `abstractType` | string|null | SERP | `original` or `extended_llm` (AI-rewritten description) | | `applyType` | string|null | Panel | `quick_apply`, `company_site`, or `unknown` | | `verifiedEmployer` | boolean|null | Panel | True if employer has Verified Employer badge | | `companyRating` | number|null | Panel | Company rating score, e.g. `4.3` | | `companyReviewCount` | integer|null | Panel | Number of reviews behind the rating | | `companyReviewSource` | string|null | Panel | Review source, e.g. `SEEK` | | `country` | string | SERP | Country code: `au`, `nz`, `sg`, `hk`, `my` | | `url` | string | SERP | Clean canonical URL of the job listing | | `scrapedAt` | string | — | ISO 8601 timestamp | #### Example output record ```json { "jobId": "abe57823441443462a26c9dc4bc7bded", "title": "Customer Service Officer", "company": "Australian Financial Complaints Authority", "location": "Melbourne VIC", "salary": null, "jobType": "Full time", "workArrangement": "Hybrid", "descriptionBullets": [], "fullDescription": "Fairness feels good\nMake a real impact at AFCA...", "datePosted": "1h ago", "isSponsored": false, "abstractType": "original", "applyType": "company_site", "verifiedEmployer": false, "companyRating": 4.3, "companyReviewCount": 36, "companyReviewSource": "SEEK", "country": "au", "url": "https://au.jora.com/job/Customer-Service-Officer-abe57823441443462a26c9dc4bc7bded", "scrapedAt": "2026-05-16T05:00:00.000Z" } ``` *** ### Technical notes - **Custom proxy used** — Jora blocks Apify's shared datacenter IPs. The actor uses the `BUYPROXIES94952` custom US proxy pool (27 IPs) to reliably bypass this. - **No browser** — pure `got` + `cheerio`. No Playwright. - **JSON-HTML hybrid** — SERP card data comes from embedded `data-jd-payload` JSON attributes (stable, no CSS dependency). Full descriptions fetched from `/job/description/{id}` panel endpoint. - **Domain change (May 2026)** — Jora migrated from `www.jora.com.au` to `au.jora.com` subdomain pattern across all markets. - **Panel endpoint** — `GET /job/description/{jobId}?sp=serp&sponsored=false&cp=1&sr=1` — no authentication, no tk token required, returns 6–16 KB HTML fragment with full description, work arrangement, company rating, and apply type. - **`abstractType` field** — Jora uses AI (`extended_llm`) to rewrite some job descriptions. The `abstractType` field lets you distinguish original employer copy from AI-rewritten content. - **Deduplication** — Job IDs tracked in-memory via `Set`; each listing pushed once per run. - **Rate limiting** — 600 ms between SERP pages, 300 ms between panel fetches. 3-retry backoff on 429/5xx. *** ### Supported countries | Code | Domain | |---|---| | `au` | au.jora.com | | `nz` | nz.jora.com | | `sg` | sg.jora.com | | `hk` | hk.jora.com | | `my` | my.jora.com | # Actor input Schema ## `country` (type: `string`): Jora country site to scrape. ## `keyword` (type: `string`): Job title or skill keyword to search for.
