## 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

## JobMaster.co.il Jobs Monitor

Scrape the latest job listings from [jobmaster.co.il](https://www.jobmaster.co.il/jobs/), one of Israel's large general job boards, by keyword.

> **Read this first — coverage limit.** JobMaster shows only about **10 of the freshest results per keyword** to anonymous (logged-out) visitors; deeper pages require a JobMaster account login. So this actor is built for **monitoring new postings**, not bulk export. To widen coverage, pass several keywords — each runs as its own search and the results are merged and de-duplicated.

### What you get

One row per job, with a direct link to the posting.

| Field | Description |
|---|---|
| `jobId` | JobMaster's numeric job ID (primary key) |
| `url` | Direct link to the job detail page |
| `title` | Job title as published (Hebrew, gendered form) |
| `company` | Hiring company or staffing agency name |
| `location` | Job location / city |
| `jobType` | Employment type (e.g. `משרה מלאה`) |
| `description` | Short description snippet from the card |
| `keyword` | Which search keyword surfaced this job |
| `scrapedAt` | ISO timestamp of the scrape |

### Input

| Field | Type | Description |
|---|---|---|
| `keywords` | string\[] | One search per keyword (Hebrew or English). If empty, a default sample of common roles is used (JobMaster has no anonymous "all jobs" listing). |
| `maxItems` | integer | Optional cap on jobs across all keywords after de-duplication. Leave blank to scrape all matching results; set a number only to cap cost. |
| `proxyConfiguration` | object | Proxy settings. Israeli residential proxy used by default. |

#### Example

```json
{
  "keywords": ["מפתח", "QA", "מעצב גרפי"],
  "maxItems": 50,
  "proxyConfiguration": { "useApifyProxy": true, "apifyProxyGroups": ["RESIDENTIAL"], "apifyProxyCountry": "IL" }
}
```

#### Example output row

```json
{
  "jobId": "9621901",
  "url": "https://www.jobmaster.co.il/jobs/checknum.asp?key=9621901",
  "title": "משרת מפתח/ת תוכנה –NodeJS ו- Angular",
  "company": "תיגבור חברה ארצית לשרותי כ\"א",
  "location": "ירושלים",
  "jobType": "משרה מלאה",
  "description": "דרוש/ה מפתח/ת תוכנה להצטרפות לצוות פיתוח מקצועי...",
  "keyword": "מפתח",
  "scrapedAt": "2026-06-16T12:00:00.000Z"
}
```

### How it works

For each keyword the actor runs JobMaster's server-side search (`?q=`), parses the result cards, and merges them across keywords (de-duplicated by job ID). Results are saved incrementally as each search completes. Requests go through an Israeli residential proxy by default, with a fresh IP per retry.

### Limits

- \~10 freshest results per keyword (anonymous JobMaster page-1 cap). Use multiple keywords to widen coverage.
- The card view carries title, company, city, type, and a short snippet; open the `url` for the full description and how to apply.

### Use cases

- Daily/hourly monitoring of new JobMaster postings for a set of roles.
- Feeding a job-alert pipeline alongside the AllJobs, Drushim, GotFriends, and Taasuka actors.

# Actor input Schema

## `keywords` (type: `array`):

One search per keyword (Hebrew or English). Each returns JobMaster's ~10 freshest matches; results are merged and de-duplicated. Examples: \['מפתח', 'QA', 'מעצב גרפי', 'נהג']. If left empty, a default sample of common roles is used.

## `maxItems` (type: `integer`):

Optional cap on how many jobs to return across all keywords (after de-duplication). Leave blank to scrape ALL matching results for every keyword; large keyword sets on big job boards can return a lot of rows. Set a number only if you want to cap cost. Examples: 15 for a quick sample, 500 to bound a large run.

## `proxyConfiguration` (type: `object`):

Proxy settings. jobmaster.co.il can block foreign datacenter IPs, so an Israeli residential proxy is recommended (and used by default).

## Actor input object example

```json
{
  "keywords": [
    "מפתח",
    "QA",
    "מעצב גרפי"
  ],
  "proxyConfiguration": {
    "useApifyProxy": true,
    "apifyProxyGroups": [
      "RESIDENTIAL"
    ],
    "apifyProxyCountry": "IL"
  }
}
```

## MCP server setup

```json
{
    "mcpServers": {
        "apify": {
            "type": "http",
            "url": "https://mcp.apify.com/?tools=fetch-actor-details,swerve/jobmaster-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).
