## 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.

### FAQ

**How do I find a company's SmartRecruiters identifier?**

Look at the company's job board URL. If their jobs are at `https://jobs.smartrecruiters.com/GOOG/...`, the identifier is `GOOG`. You can also try the company name directly (e.g. `Microsoft`, `Amazon`).

**Does this require an API key?**

No. SmartRecruiters provides a public API for job postings that requires no authentication.

**How many jobs can I scrape?**

The `maxItems` parameter can be set up to 10,000. For companies with very large numbers of open positions, use multiple runs with different filters.

**Can I search for remote jobs?**

Global search returns all jobs matching your keyword. To find remote jobs, use `searchJobs` mode with a query like `remote software engineer`.

**What does `companyIds` accept?**

SmartRecruiters company identifiers — these are typically the company's name in PascalCase or uppercase slug format as used in their job board URLs.

**Are the results real-time?**

Yes. Each run fetches fresh data directly from the SmartRecruiters API at the time of execution.

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).
