## 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

## Greenhouse, Lever, Ashby & Workday Jobs API — Verified Fresh Directory | $1/1K

**Every coverage and freshness claim on this page is verifiable:** our full company
directory with per-company *last-validated* timestamps is public —
**[live coverage & freshness stats](https://george-kozlitin.github.io/ats-jobs-directory/)**.
No other jobs actor lets you check whether a company is covered *before* you pay.

Normalized job postings straight from the **public JSON endpoints** of Greenhouse,
Lever, Ashby and Workday — the same data employers publish for distribution. No
browser, no proxies, no login, no LLM guesses. One clean schema across all four ATS.

### Why this actor

| | **This actor** | bovi | memo23 (multi-ATS) | fantastic-jobs (flagship) |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Price per 1,000 jobs | **$1.00** | $1.50 | $2.00 | $4.00 |
| Actor-start fee | **none** | none | **$0.03/GB per run** | $0.01+ per start |
| Empty run cost | **$0 in events** (seconds of platform usage only) | $0 | start fee still charged | start fee still charged |
| Company directory | **19,700+ verified-live boards / 1.25M open jobs — public, timestamped** | 4 static preset lists | none (bring your own slugs) | 200k claimed — not verifiable, not public |
| Freshness proof | **public per-company timestamps** | none | none | marketing claims only |
| Delta mode (new/closed jobs) | **yes** | new only | no | time-window filters |
| Workday coverage | **yes** | no | yes | yes ($4/1k) |
| Salary fields | structured ATS data only (no AI guesses) | passthrough | regex | AI-extracted ("might have some errors" — their words) |
| Recruiter emails / person data | **never** (GDPR-clean by design) | no | "emails" = info@ addresses | hiring-manager names+emails |

Scheduled monitoring runs are where start fees hurt: 30 daily runs/month of a
50-company watchlist cost $0 extra here.

### Quick start (zero config)

Run with defaults: the `top-tech` preset fetches verified-live boards, capped at 50
jobs per company — a first run costs **under $0.10**. Then bring your own companies:

```json
{
  "companies": ["stripe", "lever:netflix", "https://jobs.ashbyhq.com/linear"],
  "titleKeyword": "devops",
  "remoteOnly": true
}
````

Bare slugs are looked up across Greenhouse/Lever/Ashby automatically. Board URLs work
as-is — including Workday career sites (`https://acme.wd5.myworkdayjobs.com/careers`
or explicit `workday:acme|wd5|careers`).

**Workday notes (v0.2):** postings come from the same JSON endpoint the career site
itself uses. `posted_at` is approximated from Workday's relative dates (flagged in
`parse_warnings`); descriptions are not available at list level; per-tenant scans are
capped (max 300 jobs) to keep runs fast — see `parse_warnings` for details.

### Output (one schema for all three ATS)

```json
{
  "global_id": "greenhouse:anthropic:5222180008",
  "ats": "greenhouse",
  "company_slug": "anthropic",
  "company_name": "Anthropic",
  "title": "DevOps Engineer",
  "department": "Platform",
  "team": null,
  "location_raw": "Madrid, Spain",
  "remote_type": "remote",
  "employment_type": "full_time",
  "salary": {"min": 60000, "max": 80000, "currency": "EUR", "period": "per-year-salary"},
  "posted_at": "2026-06-20T12:00:00+00:00",
  "updated_at": "2026-07-01T14:00:00+00:00",
  "absolute_url": "https://job-boards.greenhouse.io/anthropic/jobs/5222180008",
  "source_url": "https://boards.greenhouse.io/anthropic",
  "parse_warnings": []
}
```

- `salary` is filled **only** from structured ATS fields (Lever `salaryRange`, Ashby
  compensation tiers). We never invent numbers with AI.
- `remote_type` comes from the ATS's own flags where available (Lever
  `workplaceType`, Ashby `isRemote`), with a conservative location fallback.
- Descriptions (`description_text`/`description_html`) are off by default — enable
  `includeDescriptions` when you need them.
- Something unparseable? It lands in `parse_warnings`, never silently dropped.

### Delta mode — monitor hiring, don't re-buy the firehose

Set `onlyNewSinceLastRun: true` and the actor remembers what it has seen (per your
account): you get only **new** postings, plus `delta_status: "closed"` records when
a previously seen job disappears. Hiring-signal data at job-scraper prices.

### Honest failure modes

- A run that returns 0 jobs **always tells you why** in the status message (dead
  slugs? filters too narrow? nothing new since last run?) — and charges nothing.
- Per-board failures are listed in `RUN_SUMMARY.failedTargets` with reasons.
- Dead companies get pruned from the public directory daily — check it before running.

### Legal & fair use

This actor reads officially public, unauthenticated job-board endpoints
([Greenhouse Job Board API](https://developers.greenhouse.io/job-board.html),
[Lever Postings API](https://github.com/lever/postings-api),
[Ashby Posting API](https://developers.ashbyhq.com/docs/public-job-posting-api)) —
data employers publish precisely so it spreads. Workday postings are read from the
same public JSON endpoint the employer's career site itself uses — unauthenticated,
conservative ≤1 req/s per tenant, and any block is treated as a hard stop for that
tenant. Polite rate limits are enforced per host (Lever's robots.txt `Crawl-delay`
honored). Output contains **no personal data** — no recruiter names, no emails.
Takedown/opt-out: open an issue.

### Use with AI agents (MCP) — dedicated endpoint

This actor **is an MCP server** (standby mode, streamable HTTP):

```
https://zon4a--ats-jobs-api.apify.actor/mcp
```

Authenticate with your Apify token (`Authorization: Bearer <APIFY_TOKEN>`). Tools:

- **`search_jobs`** — companies + filters → normalized postings (charged at the same
  $1/1K as batch runs; results also land in your dataset)
- **`check_company`** — free live coverage check: which boards a company has right
  now and how many open jobs on each

Alternatively, use the official [Apify MCP server](https://mcp.apify.com) and call
`zon4a/ats-jobs-api` as a generic actor tool.

### Roadmap

- Directory-wide monitoring mode: one scheduled run watching the whole directory
- SmartRecruiters / Personio / Recruitee filters (already in our catalog)

# Actor input Schema

## `preset` (type: `string`):

Curated verified-live company bundle. Use it for a zero-config first run, or leave 'none' and provide your own companies below.

## `companies` (type: `array`):

Board identifiers: bare slug ('stripe'), 'ats:slug' ('lever:netflix', 'workday:acme|wd5|careers'), or a board URL (https://boards.greenhouse.io/stripe, https://jobs.lever.co/netflix, https://jobs.ashbyhq.com/linear, https://acme.wd5.myworkdayjobs.com/careers). ATS is auto-detected from URLs; bare slugs are looked up across Greenhouse/Lever/Ashby.

## `titleKeyword` (type: `string`):

Case-insensitive substring match on the job title (e.g. 'devops').

## `locationKeyword` (type: `string`):

Case-insensitive substring match on raw location (e.g. 'madrid' or 'remote').

## `remoteOnly` (type: `boolean`):

Keep only jobs detected as remote.

## `postedAfter` (type: `string`):

ISO date (YYYY-MM-DD). Jobs published/updated before this date are dropped. Note: Greenhouse boards expose updated\_at only.

## `maxJobsPerCompany` (type: `integer`):

Cap per company. Default 50 keeps a first run under $0.10.

## `includeDescriptions` (type: `boolean`):

Include description\_text/description\_html in output (bigger items).

## `outputProfile` (type: `string`):

full = all normalized fields; compact = drops nulls and raw blocks; minimal = title/company/location/url/posted\_at only.

## `includeRawJson` (type: `boolean`):

Attach the raw per-job payload under `raw` (full profile only).

## `onlyNewSinceLastRun` (type: `boolean`):

Delta mode: output only jobs not seen in previous runs of this actor (per-account memory). Closed jobs are emitted with status='closed'.
