## 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.

# README
## KeepMePosted Malta Scraper
Extract structured job listings from **KeepMePosted.com.mt** — Malta's largest job board with 750+ active vacancies across finance, iGaming, tech, hospitality, and more. Filter by keyword, employment type, or scrape specific URLs. No API key required.
---
### Why this scraper?
#### 🇲🇹 Malta's #1 Job Board
Access the full KeepMePosted catalogue — the leading job board in Malta with 750+ active listings and new jobs added weekly.
#### 🔍 Keyword & Employment Type Filters
Search by keyword (title, company, category, description) and filter by Full-Time, Part-Time, or Contract roles. Combine both filters for precise results.
#### 📄 Full Job Descriptions
Every listing includes the complete job description in three formats — plain text, HTML, and Markdown — ready for storage, AI processing, or downstream pipelines.
#### 🔁 Repost Detection
Cross-run deduplication flags repeated listings with `isRepost: true`, so downstream pipelines never process the same vacancy twice.
#### ⏰ Daily Feed Ready
Combine `daysOld: 7` with `skipReposts: true` and a scheduler for a clean weekly stream of new Malta jobs.

### Known limitations
- **Keyword search** is applied client-side across title, company name, category, and description. Results are always a subset of the full active job catalogue.
- **Salary data** is rarely published on Maltese job boards; `salaryMin`/`salaryMax` will be `null` for most listings.
- **`daysOld` filter** requires `publishDate` to be populated. A small number of listings may lack a publish date and are included regardless of this filter.
***
### Technical details
- **Memory:** 512 MB
- **Repost storage:** KeyValueStore `keepmeposted-job-dedup`, 90-day TTL
