## 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

## Indeed Jobs Scraper

Search **Indeed** and export job listings for any role and location: title, company, location, salary, snippet and apply link. Uses **Apify Residential Proxy + stealth** to get past anti-bot protection.

### What you get per job

- 💼 Job title and 🏢 company
- 📍 Location
- 💰 Salary (when shown)
- 📝 Snippet / description preview
- 🔗 Direct link to the listing

### Use cases

- **Recruiting & sourcing** — monitor who's hiring for a role and where.
- **Job-market research** — salary benchmarks, demand by title/city, hiring trends.
- **Lead generation** — companies actively hiring are companies that are growing.
- **Aggregators & alerts** — feed fresh listings into your own board or notifier.

### Input

| Field | Type | Description |
|-------|------|-------------|
| `queries` | array | Job titles / keywords, e.g. `["react developer", "data analyst"]`. |
| `location` | string | City, state or country (e.g. `"New York, NY"` or `"remote"`). |
| `maxResults` | integer | Max listings to collect per query. |

#### Example input

```json
{ "queries": ["react developer"], "location": "remote", "maxResults": 50 }
```

### Output

```json
{
  "query": "react developer", "title": "Senior React Developer",
  "company": "Acme Inc", "location": "Remote",
  "salary": "$120,000 - $150,000 a year",
  "snippet": "We are looking for...", "url": "https://www.indeed.com/viewjob?jk=..."
}
```

Export to JSON, CSV, Excel or Google Sheets, or read it via the Apify API.

### Tips

- Use `"remote"` as the location to pull remote roles.
- The account running the Actor pays for the residential proxy it uses.

### FAQ

**Why residential proxy?** Indeed has strong anti-bot; residential IPs + stealth get through reliably.

**How am I charged?** Pay per result (per job listing returned).

// Initialize the ApifyClient with your Apify API token
// Replace the '<YOUR_API_TOKEN>' with your token
const client = new ApifyClient({
    token: '<YOUR_API_TOKEN>',
});

// Prepare Actor input
const input = {
    "queries": [
        "software engineer"
    ]
};

// Run the Actor and wait for it to finish
const run = await client.actor("bgfc97/indeed-jobs-scraper").call(input);
