### Incremental fields
When incremental mode is on, each record also carries:
- `changeType` β 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` β ISO-8601 timestamps tracking the listing across runs.
- `isRepost`, `repostOfId`, `repostDetectedAt` β 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 shine.com
1. Go to [Shine](https://apify.com/blackfalcondata/shine-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, 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 shine.com 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.
- Auto-apply or feed apply URLs into your ATS / hiring pipeline.
- Research company hiring patterns, employer profiles, and industry distribution.
- 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.
### How much does it cost to scrape shine.com?
Shine 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:** $0.0005 per run
- **Per result:** $0.00079 per job record
Example costs:
- 10 results: **$0.0084**
- 25 results: **$0.02**
- 100 results: **$0.08**
- 200 results: **$0.16**
- 500 results: **$0.4**
#### 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 β the scenarios below are examples, not predictions.
Example setup: 100 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% β stable niche query | $0.08 | $0.00445 | $0.08 (94%) | $0.13 |
| 15% β moderate broad query | $0.08 | $0.01 | $0.07 (84%) | $0.37 |
| 30% β high-volume aggregator | $0.08 | $0.02 | $0.06 (70%) | $0.73 |
Full re-scrape monthly cost at the same cadence: $2.39. First month with incremental costs $0.21 / $0.44 / $0.78 for the 5% / 15% / 30% scenarios because the first run builds baseline state at full cost before incremental savings apply.
Platform usage is included in the per-result fee shown above.
### FAQ
#### How many results can I get from shine.com?
The number of results depends on the search query and available jobs on shine.com. Use the `maxResults` parameter to control how many results are returned per run.
#### Does Shine support recurring monitoring?
Yes. Enable incremental mode to only receive new or changed jobs on subsequent runs. This is ideal for scheduled monitoring where you want to track changes over time without re-processing the full dataset.
#### Can I integrate Shine with other apps?
Yes. Shine works with Apify's [integrations](https://apify.com/integrations?fpr=1h3gvi) to connect with tools like Zapier, Make, Google Sheets, Slack, and more. You can also use webhooks to trigger actions when a run completes.
#### Can I use Shine with the Apify API?
Yes. You can start runs, manage inputs, and retrieve results programmatically through the [Apify API](https://docs.apify.com/api/v2). Client libraries are available for JavaScript, Python, and other languages.
#### Can I use Shine through an MCP Server?
Yes. Apify provides an [MCP Server](https://apify.com/apify/actors-mcp-server?fpr=1h3gvi) that lets AI assistants and agents call this actor directly. Use compact mode, `descriptionMaxLength`, a single `descriptionFormat`, and `excludeEmptyFields` to keep payloads manageable for LLM context windows.
#### Is it legal to scrape shine.com?
This actor extracts publicly available data from shine.com. Web scraping of public information is generally considered legal, but you should always review the target site's terms of service and ensure your use case complies with applicable laws and regulations, including GDPR where relevant.
