## 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.

### Tips for Best Results

#### Start Small First

- Run with `results_wanted: 20` for quick validation.
- Increase gradually for production collection.

#### Use Focused Keywords

- Use precise role keywords for cleaner datasets.
- Broad keywords can be combined with `location` for better targeting.

#### Detail Enrichment Is Automatic

- Job detail data is always collected and merged into each output record.
- No extra input flag is required.

#### Control Runtime with Page Limits

- Use `max_pages` as a safety cap.
- Pair `max_pages` with `results_wanted` to balance speed and depth.

#### Proxy Configuration

```json
{
  "proxyConfiguration": {
    "useApifyProxy": true,
    "apifyProxyGroups": ["RESIDENTIAL"]
  }
}
```

### Frequently Asked Questions

#### How many jobs can I collect per run?

You can collect as many as available, based on your `results_wanted` and `max_pages` settings.

Yes. If no keyword is provided, collection can still run from broad listings.

#### What happens if location text does not match?

The run continues and collects without location filtering if no valid location ID is resolved.

#### Does the output include duplicate jobs?

No. The actor removes duplicates using stable identifiers and URLs.

#### Why do I see many fields in output?

Records include both normalized convenience fields and rich source attributes for deeper analysis.
