## 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

### What does IrishJobs.ie Scraper do?

IrishJobs.ie Scraper extracts structured job data from [irishjobs.ie](https://irishjobs.ie) — including salary data, contact details (email, apply URL), company metadata, full descriptions, location data, and skill tags. It supports keyword search, location filters, and controllable result limits, so you can run the same query consistently over time. The actor also offers detail enrichment (full descriptions, company metadata, and contact information) where the source provides them.

**New to Apify?** [Sign up free](https://console.apify.com/sign-up?fpr=1h3gvi\&fp_sid=ctaplain) and use the included $5 monthly platform credit to test this actor.

### Key features

- **🔔 Notifications** — Telegram, Slack, Discord, WhatsApp Cloud API, generic webhook — out of the box. Pair with incremental + `notifyOnlyChanges` for daily "new Irishjobs jobs" pings to your hiring channel.
- **🔗 Paste-mode** — paste any irishjobs.ie URL straight from your browser — single-job pages, search-results URLs, or category SEO URLs. Build the search you want in the UI, copy the URL, paste it here.
- **🎯 Batch searches** — batch `["python developer", "data engineer", "ML engineer"]` in one run — one dedup state across all searches, single dataset, one Actor-Start charge instead of N.
- **📦 Compact mode** — AI-agent and MCP-friendly compact payloads with core fields only — pipe straight into your ATS, salary-benchmarking tool, or LLM context without parsing extras.
- **♻️ Incremental mode** — recurring runs emit only NEW / UPDATED / REAPPEARED records — UNCHANGED and EXPIRED are opt-in. First run builds the baseline; subsequent runs emit and charge only for the diff. Pair with notifications for daily "new jobs" alerts to your hiring team. Saves 80–95% on daily monitoring.
- **📤 Export anywhere** — Download the dataset as JSON, CSV, or Excel from the Apify Console, or stream live via the Apify API and integrations (Make, Zapier, Google Sheets, n8n, …).
- **📋 Detail enrichment** — two-stage mode: list, then enrich each job with the full description + detail-page fields (apply counts, education, etc.). One toggle, no extra orchestration.
- **📧 Email + phone extraction** — every record carries `extractedEmails[]` and `extractedPhones[]` regex-pulled from the description — direct-outreach lists with no extra processing step.
- **🔗 URL + social-profile extraction** — every record carries `extractedUrls[]` and structured `socialProfiles { linkedin, twitter, github, … }` parsed from the description — useful when employers drop their careers page or recruiter LinkedIn in-line.
- **💰 Structured salary** — salary parsed into structured `salaryMin` / `salaryMax` / `salaryCurrency` / period — no string parsing on your side. Includes `salaryHidden` flag when the source filtered against a bracket but the listing itself doesn't disclose.
- **🔌 MCP connectors** — export your results into Notion via Apify's MCP connectors — a clean run-summary page, no glue code. Opt-in via the App connector field; deterministic field-mapping, no AI. Built on Apify's connector framework, so more destinations open up as their catalog grows.

### What data can you extract from irishjobs.ie?

Each result includes Core job fields (`jobId`, `harmonisedId`, `legacyJobId`, `title`, `location`, `postCode`, `textSections`, and `textSnippet`, and more), detail fields when enrichment is enabled (`description`, `descriptionHtml`, `descriptionMarkdown`, `descriptionLength`, and `locationDetail`), contact and apply information (`contactName`, `contactEmail`, `contactPhone`, and `directApply`), and company metadata (`company`, `companyId`, `companyLogo`, and `companyUrl`). In standard mode, all fields are always present — unavailable data points are returned as `null`, never omitted. In compact mode, only core fields are returned.

Enable detail enrichment in the input to get richer fields such as full descriptions, company metadata, and contact information where the source provides them.

### Input

The main inputs are a search keyword, an optional location filter, and a result limit. Additional filters and options are available in the input schema.

Key parameters:

- **`mode`** — Auto picks the best strategy for the requested run size. Lightweight has lower per-run overhead and is optimized for small runs (under ~20 results). Full has lower per-result cost and is optimized for larger runs (20+ results). (default: `"auto"`)
- **`query`** — Job search keywords (e.g. "software engineer"). Use JSON array \["query1", "query2"] for multi-query.
- **`location`** — City or region (e.g. "Dublin", "Cork"). Use JSON array for multi-location.
- **`startUrls`** — Direct IrishJobs.ie search or job detail URLs. Overrides query/location when provided.
- **`county`** — Filter by Irish county. Overrides location when set.
- **`sort`** — Sort order for results (default: `"relevance"`)
- **`age`** — Only show jobs posted within this many days (1, 3, 7, or 14)
- **`remote`** — Only show remote/home office positions
- **`radius`** — Search radius around location in km (requires location)
- **`minSalary`** — Minimum annual salary filter (EUR)
- **`contractType`** — Filter by contract/employment type
- **`experience`** — Filter by experience level
- ...and 41 more parameters

### Input examples

**Basic search** — Keyword-driven search with a result cap.

→ Full payload per result — all standard fields populated where the source provides them.

```json
{
  "mode": "auto",
  "query": "software engineer",
  "maxResults": 50
}
```

**Filtered search** — Narrow results with advanced filters — only matching jobs are returned.

→ Same field set as basic search; fewer, more relevant rows.

```json
{
  "query": "software engineer",
  "contractType": "FULL_TIME",
  "workType": "FULL_TIME",
  "maxResults": 100
}
```

**Incremental tracking** — Only emit jobs that changed since the previous run with this `stateKey`.

→ First run builds the baseline state. Subsequent runs emit only records that are new or whose tracked content changed. Set `emitUnchanged: true` to include unchanged records as well.

```json
{
  "query": "software engineer",
  "maxResults": 200,
  "incrementalMode": true,
  "stateKey": "software-engineer-tracker"
}
```

**Compact filtered output** — Combine filters with compact mode for a lightweight AI-agent or MCP data source.

→ Core fields only — ideal for piping into LLMs or downstream tools without token overhead.

```json
{
  "query": "software engineer",
  "contractType": "FULL_TIME",
  "workType": "FULL_TIME",
  "maxResults": 50,
  "compact": true
}
```

### Output

Each run produces a dataset of structured job records. Results can be downloaded as JSON, CSV, or Excel from the Dataset tab in Apify Console.

### Incremental fields

When incremental mode is on, each record also carries:

- `changeType` — one of `NEW`, `UPDATED`, `UNCHANGED`, `REAPPEARED`, `EXPIRED`. Default output covers `NEW` / `UPDATED` / `REAPPEARED`; set `emitUnchanged: true` or `emitExpired: true` to opt into the others.
- `firstSeenAt`, `lastSeenAt` — ISO-8601 timestamps tracking the listing across runs.
- `isRepost`, `repostOfId`, `repostDetectedAt` — populated when a new listing matches the tracked content of a previously expired one. Set `skipReposts: true` to drop detected reposts from the output.

### How to scrape irishjobs.ie

1. Go to [IrishJobs.ie Scraper](https://apify.com/blackfalcondata/irishjobs-scraper?fpr=1h3gvi) in Apify Console.
2. Enter a search keyword and optional location filter.
3. Set `maxResults` to control how many results you need.
4. Enable `includeDetails` if you need full descriptions, contact info, company data.
5. Click **Start** and wait for the run to finish.
6. Export the dataset as JSON, CSV, or Excel.

### Use cases

- Extract job data from irishjobs.ie for market research and competitive analysis.
- Track salary trends across regions and categories over time.
- Monitor new and changed jobs on scheduled runs without processing the full dataset every time.
- Build outreach lists using contact details and apply URLs from listings.
- Research company hiring patterns, employer profiles, and industry distribution.
- Use structured location data for regional analysis, mapping, and geo-targeting.
- Feed structured data into AI agents, MCP tools, and automated pipelines using compact mode.
- Export clean, structured data to dashboards, spreadsheets, or data warehouses.
- Analyze skill demand across listings using structured skill tags.
- Collect ratings and reviews for reputation monitoring and benchmarking.

### How much does it cost to scrape irishjobs.ie?

IrishJobs.ie Scraper uses [pay-per-event](https://docs.apify.com/platform/actors/paid-actors/pay-per-event) pricing. You pay a small fee when the run starts and then for each result that is actually produced.

- **Run start:** $0.005 per run
- **Per result:** $0.00145 per job record

Example costs:

- 10 results: **$0.019**
- 25 results: **$0.041**
- 100 results: **$0.15**
- 200 results: **$0.29**
- 500 results: **$0.73**

#### Example: recurring monitoring savings

These examples compare full re-scrapes with incremental runs at different churn rates. Churn is the share of jobs that are new or whose tracked content changed since the previous run. Actual churn depends on your query breadth, source activity, and polling frequency — the scenarios below are examples, not predictions.

Example setup: 200 jobs per run, daily polling (30 runs/month). Costs scale linearly with the number of jobs.

| Churn rate | Full re-scrape run cost | Incremental run cost | Savings vs full re-scrape | Monthly cost after baseline |
|---|---:|---:|---:|---:|
| 5% — stable niche query | $0.29 | $0.02 | $0.28 (93%) | $0.58 |
| 15% — moderate broad query | $0.29 | $0.05 | $0.25 (84%) | $1.45 |
| 30% — high-volume aggregator | $0.29 | $0.09 | $0.20 (69%) | $2.76 |

Full re-scrape monthly cost at the same cadence: $8.85. First month with incremental costs $0.86 / $1.70 / $2.96 for the 5% / 15% / 30% scenarios because the first run builds baseline state at full cost before incremental savings apply.

Platform usage (compute and proxies) is billed separately by Apify based on actual consumption. Incremental runs consume less on result processing, though fixed per-run overhead stays the same.

### FAQ

#### How many results can I get from irishjobs.ie?

The number of results depends on the search query and available jobs on irishjobs.ie. Use the `maxResults` parameter to control how many results are returned per run.

## `whatsappAccessToken` (type: `string`):

Meta Cloud API access token with `whatsapp_business_messaging` scope. Get a permanent token from a system user in Meta Business Manager.

## `whatsappTo` (type: `string`):

Recipient phone in E.164 format (e.g. +919876543210). Recipient must have messaged your business number within the last 24 hours — outside that window, free-form text is rejected by Meta.

## `webhookUrl` (type: `string`):

Generic webhook URL that receives a JSON POST with the full job payload + run metadata. Universal escape hatch for n8n / Make / Zapier / your own backend.

## `webhookHeaders` (type: `object`):

Optional headers (e.g. {"Authorization": "Bearer xyz"}) sent with the webhook POST.

## `notificationLimit` (type: `integer`):

Maximum number of jobs included in each notification message (1–20). Excess jobs are still in the dataset; notifications get a summary line.

## `notifyOnlyChanges` (type: `boolean`):

When Incremental Mode is on, only send notifications for NEW / UPDATED / REAPPEARED jobs. Has no effect outside incremental mode.

## `includeRunMetadata` (type: `boolean`):

Prepend a one-line summary (query + total count) to each notification batch.

## `appConnector` (type: `string`):

Optional. Pick a connected app under Settings → API & Integrations to receive your results. Notion is supported today (a run-summary page); other MCP connectors are best-effort as Apify expands its catalog.

## `mcpIssueTeam` (type: `string`):

Only when the connected app is an issue tracker: the team (name or ID) the summary issue is created under, if that app requires one.

# API

You can run this Actor programmatically using our API. Below are code examples in JavaScript, Python, and CLI, as well as the OpenAPI specification and MCP server setup.

## JavaScript example

```javascript
import { ApifyClient } from 'apify-client';

// 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 = {
    "query": "software engineer",
    "maxResults": 5,
    "excludeEmptyFields": false,
    "proxyConfiguration": {
        "useApifyProxy": true,
        "apifyProxyGroups": [
            "RESIDENTIAL"
        ],
        "apifyProxyCountry": "IE"
    }
};

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

// Fetch and print Actor results from the run's dataset (if any)
console.log('Results from dataset');
console.log(`💾 Check your data here: https://console.apify.com/storage/datasets/${run.defaultDatasetId}`);
const { items } = await client.dataset(run.defaultDatasetId).listItems();
items.forEach((item) => {
    console.dir(item);
});

## Python example

```python
from apify_client import ApifyClient

# Initialize the ApifyClient with your Apify API token
# Replace '<YOUR_API_TOKEN>' with your token.
client = ApifyClient("<YOUR_API_TOKEN>")

# Prepare the Actor input
run_input = {

    },
}

# Run the Actor and wait for it to finish
run = client.actor("blackfalcondata/irishjobs-scraper").call(run_input=run_input)

# Fetch and print Actor results from the run's dataset (if there are any)
print("💾 Check your data here: https://console.apify.com/storage/datasets/" + run["defaultDatasetId"])
for item in client.dataset(run["defaultDatasetId"]).iterate_items():
    print(item)
