## 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

## Job Postings Scraper — Greenhouse, Lever, Ashby, Workable & More

Pull **live job postings straight from company career boards** — Greenhouse,
Lever, Ashby, Workable, SmartRecruiters and Recruitee — through the **public
job-board APIs those platforms publish** for exactly this purpose. Fresher than
job aggregators, no login, no HTML scraping fragility.

Give it career-page URLs **or just company slugs** — the ATS is auto-detected.

**Charged per job posting returned.** Filtered-out postings and failed
companies cost $0. No startup fee.

### Quick start

```json
{
  "companies": [
    "https://boards.greenhouse.io/gitlab",
    "https://jobs.ashbyhq.com/openai",
    "figma"
  ]
}
```

→ one normalized record per posting:

```json
{
  "company": "openai",
  "ats": "ashby",
  "title": "Software Engineer, Applied AI",
  "department": "Engineering",
  "location": "San Francisco",
  "remote": false,
  "url": "https://jobs.ashbyhq.com/openai/…",
  "publishedAt": "2026-06-30T18:02:11.000Z",
  "salary": "$245K – $385K",
  "description": "## About the team\n…"
}
```

### What you get

| | |
|---|---|
| **6 ATS platforms** | Greenhouse, Lever, Ashby, Workable, SmartRecruiters, Recruitee — one actor, one output schema |
| **Auto-detection** | Pass a career URL or a bare slug; the right platform is found automatically |
| **Markdown descriptions** | Full posting text converted to clean Markdown (Greenhouse, Lever, Ashby, Recruitee) |
| **Salary** | Compensation summary where the employer publishes it (Ashby) |
| **Filters** | `titleFilter` keyword + `remoteOnly` — you're only billed for postings that match |
| **Cost caps** | `maxJobsPerCompany` guard for very large employers |
| **Fast & cheap** | Plain JSON APIs, no browser — hundreds of companies per run |

### Use cases

- **Recruiting & job boards:** fresh postings directly from the source, hours
  before aggregators index them.
- **B2B sales signals:** companies hiring for "data engineer" or "RevOps" are
  buying tools for them — run your prospect list weekly on a Schedule.
- **Market research:** hiring velocity by company, department mix, remote share.
- **AI agents:** normalized JSON + Markdown descriptions, ready for matching and
  summarization.

```bash
curl -X POST "https://api.apify.com/v2/acts/fetchbase~job-postings-scraper/run-sync-get-dataset-items?token=YOUR_TOKEN" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{"companies": ["https://jobs.lever.co/palantir"], "titleFilter": "engineer", "remoteOnly": true}'
```

### Pricing

A small fixed price **per job posting returned**, plus standard Apify platform
usage (tiny — no browser). Companies that fail or return nothing are never
billed.

### FAQ

**Is this scraping?** It reads the **official, documented, public job-board
APIs** that the ATS vendors provide so career boards can be embedded and
consumed — the intended use of those endpoints. Job postings are public content
that employers actively want distributed. No personal data is involved.

**Which companies work?** Any employer whose career site runs on one of the six
supported platforms (a large share of tech and mid-market companies). If a
company uses something else, you get a clear per-company error — and it costs
nothing.

**Descriptions missing for some companies?** Workable and SmartRecruiters list
endpoints don't include full descriptions; the other four platforms do.

One entry per company: either a career-board URL (e.g. https://boards.greenhouse.io/stripe, https://jobs.lever.co/netflix, https://jobs.ashbyhq.com/openai) or a bare company slug (e.g. 'stripe') — bare slugs are tried against all supported ATS platforms automatically.

## `includeDescriptions` (type: `boolean`):

Include each posting's full description converted to clean Markdown (available on Greenhouse, Lever, Ashby and Recruitee; Workable and SmartRecruiters list endpoints don't ship descriptions).

## `maxJobsPerCompany` (type: `integer`):
