## 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

## Taasuka.gov.il Jobs Scraper

Scrape job listings from [taasuka.gov.il](https://www.taasuka.gov.il/he/Applicants/Jobs), the official board of Israel's government **Employment Service** (שירות התעסוקה). This board carries a lot of inventory you won't find on commercial sites: blue-collar, administrative, regional, and government-subsidized roles across the whole country.

### What you get

One row per job, with a direct link back to the posting.

| Field | Description |
|---|---|
| `jobId` | Taasuka's internal job GUID (primary key) |
| `url` | Direct link that opens the posting on taasuka.gov.il |
| `title` | Job title as published (Hebrew, gendered form, e.g. `מתכנת/ת`) |
| `city` | Place of work (`מקום עבודה`), e.g. `תל אביב - יפו` |
| `bureauJobNumber` | Internal bureau job number (`מס' משרה בלשכה`) |
| `siteJobNumber` | Public site reference number (`מס' משרה באתר`) |
| `status` | Posting status (`מצב משרה`), e.g. `פעילה` (active) |
| `scrapedAt` | ISO timestamp of the scrape |
| `page` | Pagination page the job appeared on |

### Input

| Field | Type | Description |
|---|---|---|
| `keyword` | string | Free-text search (Taasuka's own full-text search). Hebrew or English. Leave blank for the latest jobs across all fields. |
| `maxItems` | integer | Max jobs to return. No upper cap. Default 100. |
| `proxyConfiguration` | object | Proxy settings. Israeli residential proxy is used by default and strongly recommended. |

#### Example

```json
{
  "keyword": "מתכנת",
  "maxItems": 200,
  "proxyConfiguration": { "useApifyProxy": true, "apifyProxyGroups": ["RESIDENTIAL"], "apifyProxyCountry": "IL" }
}
```

#### Example output row

```json
{
  "jobId": "7178b598-bb2a-417d-b4e1-345127ba84d5",
  "url": "https://www.taasuka.gov.il/he/Applicants/Jobs?jobid=7178b598-bb2a-417d-b4e1-345127ba84d5",
  "title": "מתכנת/ת CNC",
  "city": "ראשון לציון",
  "bureauJobNumber": "9057810",
  "siteJobNumber": "5303_28373",
  "status": "פעילה",
  "scrapedAt": "2026-06-16T12:00:00.000Z",
  "page": 1
}
```

### How it works

The board is server-rendered HTML, 10 jobs per page, with Hebrew text stored as HTML entities (decoded automatically). The actor uses Taasuka's own server-side full-text search (`FreeText`) when you pass a keyword, and paginates until it reaches your `maxItems` or runs out of new jobs. Results are saved to the dataset incrementally as each page is parsed, so a cancelled run keeps everything collected so far.

Because it's an Israeli government site that can be slow or block foreign datacenter IPs, requests go through an Israeli residential proxy by default, with a fresh IP per retry.

### Limits

- The board's list view exposes title, city, reference numbers, status, and the link, but not the full job description. Open the `url` for the full text and how to apply.
- `keyword` uses Taasuka's full-text search, so some results may match on the description rather than the title.

### Use cases

- Monitor new government / Employment Service postings for a profession or city.
- Build a fuller Israeli jobs dataset alongside commercial boards (AllJobs, Drushim, GotFriends).
- Track blue-collar and regional roles that commercial boards under-cover.

# Actor input Schema

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

Free-text search (Taasuka's own full-text search, matches title and description). Hebrew or English. Examples: 'מתכנת', 'נהג', 'cook', 'מזכירה', 'מלצר'. Leave blank to fetch the latest jobs across all fields.

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

Optional cap on how many jobs to return. Leave blank to scrape ALL matching jobs (taasuka.gov.il can hold thousands of postings, so a broad or blank keyword returns a lot). Set a number only if you want to limit results and cost. Each page holds 10 jobs; the actor paginates until it hits your cap or runs out of results. Examples: 15, 100, 5000.

## `proxyConfiguration` (type: `object`):

Proxy settings. taasuka.gov.il is an Israeli government site that can be slow or blocked from foreign datacenter IPs, so an Israeli residential proxy is strongly recommended (and used by default).

## Actor input object example

```json
{
  "keyword": "מכירות",
  "proxyConfiguration": {
    "useApifyProxy": true,
    "apifyProxyGroups": [
      "RESIDENTIAL"
    ],
    "apifyProxyCountry": "IL"
  }
}
```
