## 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

## Rigzone Oil & Gas Jobs Scraper — Global Energy Hiring

Scrape jobs from [Rigzone.com](https://www.rigzone.com), the leading job board for the **oil, gas and energy industry**. Energy recruiters and staffing agencies pay a premium for this data — and nobody else covers it on Apify. HTTP-only, fast and cheap.

### Input

| Field | Type | Description |
|---|---|---|
| `startUrls` | array | Rigzone search URLs (`…/oil/jobs/search/?sk=drilling&sl=texas`) — keyword and location reproduced exactly. Takes precedence over keyword. |
| `keyword` | string | Discipline or role, e.g. `drilling`, `subsea engineer`, `HSE`, `pipeline`. |
| `location` | string | Optional location filter (`united states`, `aberdeen`, `texas`). |
| `maxItems` | integer | Cap on results. Empty (or `0`) = scrape all. |
| `fetchDetails` | boolean | Visit each job for the full description + employment type, industry, valid-through and salary currency from JSON-LD (default on). |
| `proxyConfig` | object | Optional — usually works without a proxy. |

# Actor input Schema

## `startUrls` (type: `array`):

Rigzone search URLs (e.g. https://www.rigzone.com/oil/jobs/search/?sk=drilling) — keyword, location and all filters reproduced exactly. When set, keyword search is skipped.

## `keyword` (type: `string`):

Job title, skill or discipline, e.g. 'drilling', 'subsea engineer', 'HSE'.

## `location` (type: `string`):

Optional location filter (e.g. 'united states', 'texas', 'aberdeen'). Used only with keyword mode.

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

Maximum number of jobs to scrape. Leave empty (or 0) to scrape ALL results.

## `fetchDetails` (type: `boolean`):

Visit each job page for the full description, employment type, industry, posted date and salary currency (from JSON-LD). Slower but much richer.

## `proxyConfig` (type: `object`):

Optional. Rigzone usually works without a proxy.

## Actor input object example

```json
{
  "startUrls": [
    "https://www.rigzone.com/oil/jobs/search/?sk=drilling"
  ],
  "maxItems": 10,
  "fetchDetails": true,
  "proxyConfig": {
