## 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.

### Infosec-Jobs Cybersecurity Listings Scraper

**Scrape cybersecurity job listings from Infosec-Jobs by keyword, up to a million per run.** Every job comes with its title, company, location, and full description. No login or API key. Export to CSV, JSON, Excel, or XML.

Infosec-Jobs is a niche job board for cybersecurity roles, but browsing it manually means clicking through pages and copying details one by one. This Actor reads the public job listings directly, filters by your keyword, and returns each match in one fixed schema. It is built for security recruiters, hiring managers, and analysts who need fresh listings without the manual work.

| Who uses it | What they scrape Infosec-Jobs for |
|---|---|
| Security recruiters | Build a pipeline of open cybersecurity roles for their clients |
| Hiring managers | Monitor the market for similar roles to benchmark their own openings |
| Job board aggregators | Feed Infosec-Jobs listings into their own search platform |
| Market researchers | Track which cybersecurity skills and certifications employers demand |

### What it does

This Actor collects cybersecurity job listings from Infosec-Jobs by keyword and returns each one as a flat row.

- 🔎 **Keyword filter:** enter a job title or skill like 'penetration tester' or 'SOC analyst' and only matching jobs are returned.
- 📦 **Bulk collection:** set maxItems up to 1,000,000 to pull every listing that matches your query.
- 📄 **Flat output:** each job is one row with title, company, location, and description, ready for spreadsheets or databases.
- ⚙️ **No setup:** no API key, no OAuth, no browser. run it from Apify.

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

### What you can do with Infosec-Jobs data

**🎯 Fill a security recruiter's pipeline.**

A recruiter runs the Actor daily with the keyword 'incident response' and imports the CSV into their ATS to see every new opening.

**📊 Benchmark your own job posting.**

A hiring manager scrapes all 'cloud security engineer' roles to compare salary ranges and required certifications before posting.

**🔔 Power a job alert service.**

A developer schedules the Actor every hour for 'penetration tester' and pushes new rows to a Slack channel for their community.

**🧠 Research the cybersecurity job market.**

An analyst collects a year of 'SOC analyst' listings to count which SIEM tools appear most often in descriptions.

### Why choose this scraper

| | What you get |
|---|---|
| **Direct from the source** | Reads the public Infosec-Jobs listings, so you get the same data a visitor sees, without scraping HTML yourself. |
| **One row per job** | Every listing is flattened into a single record with consistent fields, ready for CSV, JSON, Excel, or XML export. |
| **Scale on demand** | Collect one job or a million. The Actor respects the site and runs on Apify's infrastructure. |

### How it compares

No other Store actor targets Infosec-Jobs the same way, so the honest comparison is with the alternatives teams actually weigh.

| | Infosec-Jobs Cybersecurity Listings Scraper | Build it in-house | By hand |
|---|---|---|---|
| Setup | Run it now, zero config | Days of engineering | None, but hours per pull |
| When Infosec-Jobs changes | Maintained for you | You fix it | You re-learn the page |
| Proxies, retries, anti-bot | Built in | Your problem | Browser only |
| Output | Fixed JSON schema, CSV/Excel export | Whatever you build | Copy-paste |
| Cost | Pay per result | Engineering time | Analyst hours |

### Configure the run

Drive the Actor with a single keyword or job title, and set a maximum number of jobs to collect. The filter runs as each listing is read, so only matches reach your dataset. 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 |

New Apify accounts start with $5 in free credit.

### Use with AI agents (MCP)

Give an AI agent live access to Infosec-Jobs 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/infosec-jobs-scraper"
```

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

### Troubleshooting

**Why am I getting no results?**

Your keyword may be too specific. Try a broader term like 'security' or leave the query empty. Also confirm the site is up and has jobs posted.

**The run stops before reaching maxItems.**

The Actor stops when there are no more matching jobs on the site. Lower maxItems or broaden your query if you expected more.

**Some fields are empty in the output.**

Infosec-Jobs may not provide every field for every listing. Empty values are normal when the site leaves a field blank.

**The run fails with a timeout.**

The site may be slow or blocking. Retry the run, or schedule it for a less busy time. If it persists, contact Apify support.

### FAQ

| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| Do I need an Infosec-Jobs account or API key? | No. The Actor reads the public job listings, so no login or key is required. |
| What does the query field match against? | It matches the job title and description text. For example, 'SIEM' will return jobs that mention SIEM anywhere in the listing. |
| Can I scrape all jobs without a keyword? | Yes. Leave the query field empty and set maxItems to a high number to collect every listing currently on the site. |
| How many jobs can I get in one run? | Up to 1,000,000, but the actual number depends on how many listings match your query on Infosec-Jobs at that moment. |
| What format is the data in? | Each job is a flat JSON object. You can export the dataset as CSV, JSON, Excel, or XML from Apify. |
| How fresh is the data? | The Actor reads the live site on every run, so you get whatever is currently listed. Schedule it to run as often as you need. |
| Does it include the full job description? | Yes, the full description text is included in each row, along with title, company, and location. |
| Can I filter by location or company? | The input only has a keyword field, but you can filter the exported dataset in Excel or your own code using the location and company columns. |
| Is this legal to scrape? | You are responsible for complying with the site's terms of service and applicable laws. The Actor only accesses publicly available pages. |
| What if I get no results? | Try a broader keyword or leave the query empty. Also check that Infosec-Jobs is currently reachable and has listings. |
