## 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

## Shine.com Jobs Search Scraper (India)

Scrape job listings from [Shine.com](https://www.shine.com) — one of India's leading job portals. Extracts job titles, companies, locations, experience requirements, required skills, work mode (WFH/Hybrid/Office), job type, and posting dates.

### Features

- 🔍 **Keyword search** — search by job title, role, or skills
- 🎓 **Experience & skills** — years of experience and required skills extracted
- 🏠 **Work mode** — Work from Home, Hybrid, or Work from Office
- 📅 **Posting dates** — when each job was posted
- 🏭 **Industry data** — industry sector for each listing
- 📑 **Pagination** — collects up to `maxJobs` results across multiple pages

### Use Cases

- **Indian job market analysis** — track hiring demand, skill preferences, and industry trends across India
- **Entry-to-mid-level recruitment intelligence** — monitor job postings targeting early and mid-career professionals
- **Regional hiring trend monitoring** — compare job volumes across Indian cities and regions
- **Local salary data collection** — gather compensation data to benchmark Indian market rates

### How It Works

Uses CheerioCrawler (no JavaScript needed — Shine.com is server-side rendered) to fetch job listings. Extracts structured JSON from Shine.com's `__NEXT_DATA__` embedded in the page HTML via the `jsrp.searchresult.data.results` path. Paginates via URL pattern (`{kw}-jobs-{N}/`).

### Sample Input

```json
{
  "keywords": "software engineer",
  "maxJobs": 20,
  "proxyConfiguration": {
    "useApifyProxy": true,
    "apifyProxyGroups": ["RESIDENTIAL"]
  }
}
```

```json

  "company": "Knorr-Bremse Technology Center India Private Limited",
  "location": "Pune, Bengaluru",

- **Scheduling**: Use Apify Scheduler to run this actor on a recurring basis for a consistently fresh dataset
