## 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.

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

## 104.com.tw Taiwan Jobs Scraper

Scrapes job listings from [104.com.tw](https://www.104.com.tw), Taiwan's largest job board (~50k+ active listings). Uses 104's internal JSON REST APIs — no Playwright, no HTML parsing, no CSS selectors.

### Architecture

Two REST API layers:

| Layer | Endpoint | Purpose |
|-------|----------|---------|
| **Search API** | `/jobs/search/api/jobs` | Paginated listing with filters, 30 results/page |
| **Detail API** | `/job/ajax/content/{hash}` | Rich per-job record — welfare, skills, contact, etc. |

The detail API is optional (`enrichDetails: true`). When disabled the scraper runs search-only mode, which is fast and cheap.

### Input

| Field | Type | Default | Description |
|-------|------|---------|-------------|
| `keywords` | `string[]` | `["software","engineer","manager"]` | Keywords in Chinese or English |
| `area` | `string` | `""` | Area code for location filter. `6001001000` = Taipei. Empty = all Taiwan |
| `remoteWork` | `boolean` | `false` | Filter to remote-friendly positions |
| `maxResults` | `integer` | `200` | Max jobs to collect (0 = unlimited) |
| `enrichDetails` | `boolean` | `false` | Enrich each job via the Detail API — see new fields below |

#### Area codes (examples)

| Code | Area |
|------|------|
| `6001001000` | Taipei City |
| `6001002000` | New Taipei City |
| `6001006000` | Hsinchu City |
| `6001008000` | Taichung City |
| `6001014000` | Tainan City |
| `6001016000` | Kaohsiung City |

### Filters

| Input | API param | Notes |
|-------|-----------|-------|
| `keywords` | `keyword` | One search per keyword; results deduped by job ID |
| `area` | `area` | 10-digit 104 area code |
| `remoteWork=true` | `wf=4` | Remote-friendly jobs |

### Pricing guide

| Mode | ~CU / 100 jobs | Notes |
|------|----------------|-------|
| Search-only | ~0.005 CU | 1 req per 30 jobs |
| Enriched | ~0.03 CU | 1 search + 1 detail req per job |

### Notes

- Results sorted newest-first (`order=15, asc=0`)
- Page size capped at 30 (API max)
- Max 1,000 pages per keyword (30,000 results) due to 104 pagination limit
- Detail API concurrency: 5 parallel requests per page batch
- 104.com.tw requires `zh-TW` locale headers; English User-Agent returns 403

# Actor input Schema
