## What's an Apify Actor?

Actors are web data automations that power AI and operations. They run on the Apify platform to scrape websites, process data, connect APIs, and automate workflows.
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.

- **AI agents and MCP clients** — the [Apify MCP server](https://docs.apify.com/integrations/mcp.md) at `https://mcp.apify.com` (remote, streamable HTTP, OAuth on first use).
- **Agentic workflows and local Actor development** — [Agent Skills](https://apify.com/.well-known/agent-skills/index.json) with the [Apify CLI](https://docs.apify.com/cli/docs.md): `npm install -g apify-cli`, then `apify login`.
- **JavaScript/TypeScript projects** — the official [JS/TS client](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/js/docs.md): `npm install apify-client`.
- **Python projects** — the official [Python client](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/python/docs.md): `pip install apify-client`.
- **Any other language** — the [REST API](https://docs.apify.com/api/v2.md).

For usage examples, see the [API](#api) section below.

# README

## Indeed Jobs Scraper

### Features

- **Keyword search** — find content by keyword, search term, or topic
- **Location filtering** — narrow results to specific cities, regions, or countries
- **Configurable result limit** — set exactly how many items to collect per run
- **Date filtering** — filter results by posting recency
- **Cloud-ready** — runs on Apify with scheduling, proxy rotation, and webhook support

### Use Cases

- Job market research and salary benchmarking across industries
- Automated recruitment pipeline and candidate sourcing
- Tracking new job postings for target companies or roles
- Competitive analysis of hiring trends by location and role

### Output

Each scraped item includes:

| Field | Description |
|-------|-------------|
| `url` | Direct URL to the listing/item page |
| `title` | Full product or listing title |
| `description` | Full description text |
| `rating` | Average user rating score |
| `price` | Current price as displayed on the site |
| `scrapedAt` | Timestamp when this item was scraped (ISO 8601) |

#### Sample Output

```json
{
  "url": "https://example.com/item/123",
  "title": "Example Product or Listing Title",
  "description": "Full item description text...",
  "rating": 4.5,
  "price": "$49.99",
  "scrapedAt": "2024-01-20T10:30:00.000Z"
}
```

### Notes

- **Proxy**: Residential proxy is highly recommended — set `proxyConfiguration: { useApifyProxy: true, apifyProxyGroups: ["RESIDENTIAL"] }`
- **Rate limits**: Keep `maxItems` reasonable per run to avoid IP bans or rate throttling
- **Scheduling**: Use Apify Scheduler to run this actor on a recurring basis for a consistently fresh dataset

# API

You can run this Actor programmatically using our API. Below are code examples in JavaScript, Python, and CLI, as well as the OpenAPI specification and MCP server setup.

## JavaScript example

```javascript
import { ApifyClient } from 'apify-client';

// Initialize the ApifyClient with your Apify API token
// Replace the '<YOUR_API_TOKEN>' with your token
const client = new ApifyClient({
    token: '<YOUR_API_TOKEN>',
});

// Prepare Actor input
const input = {};

// Run the Actor and wait for it to finish
const run = await client.actor("codingfrontend/indeed-jobs-scraper").call(input);

// Fetch and print Actor results from the run's dataset (if any)
console.log('Results from dataset');
console.log(`💾 Check your data here: https://console.apify.com/storage/datasets/${run.defaultDatasetId}`);
const { items } = await client.dataset(run.defaultDatasetId).listItems();
items.forEach((item) => {
    console.dir(item);
});

# Initialize the ApifyClient with your Apify API token
# Replace '<YOUR_API_TOKEN>' with your token.
client = ApifyClient("<YOUR_API_TOKEN>")

# Prepare the Actor input
run_input = {}

# Run the Actor and wait for it to finish
run = client.actor("codingfrontend/indeed-jobs-scraper").call(run_input=run_input)

# Fetch and print Actor results from the run's dataset (if there are any)
print(f"💾 Check your data here: https://console.apify.com/storage/datasets/{run.default_dataset_id}")
for item in client.dataset(run.default_dataset_id).iterate_items():
    print(item)

## CLI example

```bash
echo '{}' |
apify call codingfrontend/indeed-jobs-scraper --silent --output-dataset

```

## MCP server setup

```json
{
    "mcpServers": {
        "apify": {
            "type": "http",
            "url": "https://mcp.apify.com/?tools=fetch-actor-details,codingfrontend/indeed-jobs-scraper"
        }
    }
}

```

The hosted server signs you in with OAuth on first connect, so no API token belongs in this config. Clients without OAuth support can send an `Authorization: Bearer <APIFY_API_TOKEN>` header instead, using a token from API & Integrations in Apify Console (https://console.apify.com/settings/integrations).
