## 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.

### Use with AI agents (MCP)

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

```

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

### Troubleshooting

**Why am I getting no results?**

Check that the company subdomain is correct. Try entering the full career page URL instead. Also ensure the company uses Personio for their job listings.

**The Actor returns fewer jobs than expected.**

The maximum jobs limit may be set too low. Increase the maxItems value. Also check if the company has more listings on additional pages.

**I get an error about an invalid company.**

Make sure you entered only the subdomain (e.g. 'acme') or a valid URL like https://acme.jobs.personio.de. Remove any extra paths or parameters.

**The run takes a long time.**

If the company has many job listings, the Actor may take longer. You can reduce the maximum jobs limit to speed it up.

**Some job descriptions are missing.**

Some companies may not include full descriptions in the public feed. The Actor returns whatever is available on the career page.
