## 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.

### Behance Jobs Scraper

**Scrape creative job listings from Behance by employment type and remote preference, up to a million per run.** Each listing returns the job title, company, description, and application link. No login or API key. Export to CSV, JSON, Excel, or XML.

Behance's job board lists creative roles across design, illustration, and tech, but browsing manually or building a custom scraper takes time. This actor reads the public job feed directly, filters by full-time, freelance, contract, internship, or temporary roles, and returns only the listings that match your criteria in one fixed schema.

| Who uses it | What they scrape Behance for |
|---|---|
| Recruiters | Build a pipeline of open creative roles at specific companies. |
| Job boards | Aggregate design and tech listings from Behance into a wider index. |
| Market analysts | Track hiring volume and remote-work trends in creative fields. |
| Job seekers | Monitor new freelance or full-time design roles as they appear. |

### What it does

This Actor collects Behance job listings filtered by employment type and remote status, and returns each one as a flat row.

- 🔍 **Employment type filter:** restrict results to full-time, contract, freelance, internship, or temporary roles.
- 🏠 **Remote-only toggle:** return only jobs flagged as remote by the employer.
- 📦 **Volume control:** set a hard cap from 1 to 1,000,000 listings per run.

Results export to CSV, JSON, Excel, or XML, or straight from the API.

### What you can do with Behance data

**📊 Monitor creative hiring trends.**

A market analyst runs the actor weekly for full-time and contract roles to measure demand for UX designers versus illustrators.

**📋 Build a niche job board.**

A job board operator collects remote freelance listings and republishes them in a curated newsletter for designers.

**🎯 Find your next role.**

A job seeker sets the actor to scrape new internship listings daily and exports the CSV to a spreadsheet for tracking applications.

**🏢 Track competitor hiring.**

A design agency runs the actor filtered by full-time roles to see which studios are expanding their teams.

### Why choose this scraper

|  | What you get |
|---|---|
| **No API key** | Reads the public Behance job feed with no registration. |
| **Fixed schema** | Every listing arrives with the same fields for easy analysis. |
| **Flexible output** | Export to CSV, JSON, Excel, or XML for your existing workflow. |

### How it compares

This actor focuses on Behance job listings with employment type and remote filters, while other Behance scrapers target portfolios or offer different filtering options.

### Configure the run

Drive the Actor with an employment type filter and a remote-only toggle, and the cap stops the run once you have enough matches. The Input tab lists every parameter.

A first run with the defaults:

```json
{
  "maxItems": 10
}
```

A larger pull:

```json
{
  "maxItems": 200
}
```

### Pricing

Pay-per-result: **$0.021 per result** collected. You pay only for the results written to your dataset.

| Results collected | Approximate cost |
|---|---|
| 100 results | $2.10 |
| 1,000 results | $21.00 |
| 10,000 results | $210.00 |

### Free users

Free-plan runs return up to 10 results as a preview. [Upgrade your Apify plan](https://console.apify.com/sign-up?fpr=vmoqkp) to collect up to 1,000,000 results per run.

### Run it

1. [Create a free Apify account with $5 in credit](https://console.apify.com/sign-up?fpr=vmoqkp).
2. Open the [Behance Jobs Scraper](https://apify.com/parseforge/behance-jobs-scraper?fpr=vmoqkp).
3. Set your inputs and any filters, then click **Start**.
4. Export the results as CSV, Excel, JSON, or XML from the **Dataset** tab.

Run it programmatically through the [Apify API](https://docs.apify.com/api/v2) (`run-sync-get-dataset-items`) or the [ApifyClient](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/js) for JavaScript and Python.

### Use with AI agents (MCP)

Give an AI agent live access to Behance through the Model Context Protocol. Add the Actor to Claude, Cursor, or any MCP client:

```bash
claude mcp add --transport http apify "https://mcp.apify.com/?tools=parseforge/behance-jobs-scraper"
```

Then prompt it in plain language to run the scraper and read back the results.

### Troubleshooting

**Why am I getting no results?**

Check your employment type filter. If you selected a narrow type like Internship and none are posted, the dataset will be empty. Try setting jobType to Any and run again.

**The actor returns fewer listings than my maxItems setting.**

The actor stops when it reaches the end of the available listings. If Behance has fewer jobs than your cap, you will get all of them.

**Some job listings are missing the description field.**

Behance listings sometimes have a short snippet instead of a full description. The actor returns whatever text the public feed provides.

**The run timed out.**

Lower your maxItems value and try again. Very large runs can hit platform timeouts; splitting the work into smaller scheduled runs helps.

**Remote-only filter is not returning remote jobs.**

The actor relies on the remote flag set by the employer on Behance. If a job is remote but not tagged as such, it will not appear when the toggle is on.

### FAQ

| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| Can I scrape jobs for a specific location? | The actor does not have a location filter. It returns all listings that match your employment type and remote preference, and you can filter by location in the exported dataset. |
| Does this actor need a Behance login? | No. It reads the public job board, so no account, API key, or OAuth is required. |
| How many job listings can I get in one run? | You set the maximum with the maxItems field, up to 1,000,000 listings. The run stops when it reaches that number or when no more listings are available. |
| What export formats are supported? | You can export your dataset as CSV, JSON, Excel, or XML from the Apify platform. |
| Can I filter by job title or company name? | The actor filters by employment type and remote status only. For keyword filtering, apply a filter in your spreadsheet or database after the run. |
| How often is the data refreshed? | The actor reads the live Behance job feed on each run, so you get the listings that are public at that moment. |
| Does this actor handle pagination? | Yes. It follows the Behance job listing pages automatically until it hits your maxItems limit or the end of the feed. |
| Can I run this on a schedule? | Yes. Use Apify's scheduler to run the actor hourly, daily, or weekly and collect fresh listings automatically. |
| What is the difference between this and the Behance Projects Scraper? | This actor scrapes only the job board. The Behance Projects Scraper collects portfolios, projects, and creator profiles. |

}' |
apify call parseforge/behance-jobs-scraper --silent --output-dataset

```

## MCP server setup

```json
{

    }
}

```

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).
