## What's an Apify Actor?

An Actor is a serverless cloud program that runs on the Apify platform. It has two run modes.
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.

Apify vocabulary and the platform model are defined once, in the agent quickstart at https://apify.com/agents.md.

## 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.

Do not guess an integration path. Every one of them is in the agent quickstart at https://apify.com/agents.md: the Apify MCP server, Agent Skills with the Apify CLI, the JavaScript and Python clients, the REST API, and the account-free path for an agent with no human to sign in. It also carries the rule on stating cost before the first paid run.

For examples already wired to this Actor's own input schema, see the [API](#api) section below.

Each client library has reference documentation the quickstart does not restate: [JavaScript/TypeScript](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/js/docs.md) (`npm install apify-client`) and [Python](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/python/docs.md) (`pip install apify-client`).

# README

## NaukriGulf Jobs Scraper (Gulf Job Listings)

### What is NaukriGulf Jobs Scraper?

NaukriGulf Jobs Scraper pulls job listings from NaukriGulf.com, the Gulf job board run by Info Edge (the group behind Naukri.com). It covers the UAE, Saudi Arabia, Qatar, Oman, Kuwait and Bahrain. Enter a keyword and an optional city or country and the Actor returns one row per job: title, company, location, years of experience, posting date, summary, skills and the apply link. It reads the same search API the NaukriGulf website uses, so it needs no browser, no login and no proxy. Pricing is pay per job.

### Pricing

Pay per job. You pay $0.001 per job row on the default tier (FREE). Volume tiers lower the price: $0.0008 (BRONZE), $0.0007 (SILVER), $0.0006 (GOLD, PLATINUM, DIAMOND). A run start costs $0.00005. Measured run usage for 60 jobs was $0.000 (5 seconds, 512 MB), so the platform cost is far below the price.

| Jobs | Price on FREE tier |
|---|---|
| 100 | $0.10 |
| 1,000 | $1.00 |

### NaukriGulf Jobs Scraper vs. alternatives

NaukriGulf Jobs Scraper reads the site's JSON search API, so each run is a few seconds of plain HTTP. Browser-based scrapers wait for the page to render and cost more per run. Use the Naukri India Actor (`naukri-jobs-scraper`) for jobs in India. Use this Actor for the Gulf region.

### Using NaukriGulf Jobs Scraper with AI agents / MCP

The Apify MCP server can call this Actor with `keywords`, `location` and `maxJobs`. Agents get the rows as JSON from the dataset. Give the agent a location that NaukriGulf recognises (for example `Dubai`) and a `maxJobs` cap so the run stays within the budget you set.

### FAQ

**Is it legal to scrape NaukriGulf job listings?** The Actor reads publicly visible job listings without logging in. Check NaukriGulf's terms and your local rules before you reuse the data commercially.

**Does it need a proxy or an Apify login?** No. Runs use direct requests from Apify's cloud.

**Why do some rows have no summary or highlights?** The site sends those fields only for some listings. They stay empty rather than being guessed.

**What if a search returns no jobs?** The run finishes with an `ERRORS` record in the key-value store that names the search. Check the spelling of the location, for example `Saudi Arabia` and not `KSA`.

**Can I use it with n8n, Make or Zapier?** Yes. Use the Apify integration in each tool and pass the same input fields.

**What are the limits?** One run returns at most 2,000 jobs. The site reports its total match count; the Actor reads pages of 20 until it reaches your cap or the end of the results.
