## 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

## Career Site Hiring Signal Scraper

Research and recruiting-operations teams provide public company or career-page URLs.
The Actor returns source-linked open-role, department, location, remote-work, and ATS signals.
It does not extract personal email addresses or use login-protected pages.

### Store Quickstart

The default first run creates a free baseline. Use `emit_backfill` only when you explicitly want the current public roles emitted and billed.

```json
{
  "careerUrls": ["https://www.ycombinator.com/jobs"],
  "companyUrls": [],
  "companyDomains": [],
  "monitorKey": "yc-hiring-watch",
  "initialRunMode": "emit_backfill",
  "emitUnchanged": false,
  "limit": 20,
  "maxChargeUsd": 0.1,
  "delivery": "dataset",
  "dryRun": false
}
```

### Input Examples

#### Free baseline for a recurring watch

```json
{
  "careerUrls": ["https://example.com/careers"],
  "monitorKey": "example-careers",
  "initialRunMode": "baseline_only",
  "emitUnchanged": false,
  "dryRun": false
}
```

#### Company homepage discovery

```json
{
  "careerUrls": [],
  "companyUrls": ["https://example.com"],
  "companyDomains": [],
  "monitorKey": "example-company",
  "initialRunMode": "emit_backfill",
  "emitUnchanged": false,
  "limit": 50,
  "maxChargeUsd": 0.25,
  "dryRun": false
}
```

#### Domain portfolio

```json
{
  "careerUrls": [],
  "companyUrls": [],
  "companyDomains": ["example.com", "example.org"],
  "monitorKey": "portfolio-2026",
  "initialRunMode": "baseline_only",
  "emitUnchanged": false,
  "limit": 100,
  "dryRun": false
}
```

### Sample Output

```json
{
  "rowType": "job_or_hiring_signal",
  "companyName": "example.com",
  "careerUrl": "https://example.com/jobs/security-engineer",
  "jobTitle": "Security Engineer",
  "department": "Engineering",
  "location": "Remote",
  "remote": true,
  "atsHints": ["greenhouse"],
  "hiringSignals": ["active_hiring", "remote_work", "engineering", "security"],
  "status": "success",
  "chargedEvent": "company_hiring_signal",
  "sourceUrl": "https://example.com/jobs/security-engineer"
}
```

### Pricing And No-Change Runs

- `company_hiring_signal`: billed for a current row emitted by an explicit backfill.
- `job_delta`: billed for a newly observed row after a stored baseline.
- `hiring_summary`: reserved for company-level summaries.
- Default `baseline_only` runs write no dataset rows and create no PPE charge.
- With `emitUnchanged=false`, an unchanged recurring run writes 0 rows and creates 0 charge.
- `maxChargeUsd` stops additional billed rows before the cap is exceeded.

### Compliance

- Public, non-authenticated career pages only.
- Authentication, account, sign-in, and sign-up URLs are excluded.
- Personal email addresses are not extracted or returned.
- Results are source-linked observations, not employment, legal, or investment advice.
- Respect each source's terms, robots policy, and rate limits.

### Run The Next Report

Create a capped, decision-ready [ATS Hiring Signal Report](https://apify.com/taroyamada/ats-hiring-signal-report) from public Greenhouse, Lever, or Ashby boards.

# Actor input Schema

## `careerUrls` (type: `array`):

Career, jobs, greenhouse, lever, ashby, workday, or company hiring pages.

## `companyUrls` (type: `array`):

Company homepage URLs. The actor discovers visible careers/jobs links and also probes /careers and /jobs.

## `companyDomains` (type: `array`):

Domains to probe for /careers and /jobs pages.

## `searchTerms` (type: `array`):

Optional labels used for row grouping and internal workflow notes.

## `monitorKey` (type: `string`):

Stable identifier used to compare this watch with its previous successful run.

## `initialRunMode` (type: `string`):

baseline\_only stores the first snapshot without rows or charges. emit\_backfill emits the first snapshot.

## `emitUnchanged` (type: `boolean`):

When false, recurring runs emit only newly observed hiring rows.

## `limit` (type: `integer`):

Maximum rows to emit.

## `delivery` (type: `string`):

Non-dry-run runs always write dataset rows first. Choose webhook to POST the full payload after dataset output succeeds.

## `webhookUrl` (type: `string`):

Required when delivery=webhook and dryRun=false.

## `dryRun` (type: `boolean`):

Run without external writes. Dry runs emit sample rows, skip dataset writes, and skip webhook delivery.

## `maxChargeUsd` (type: `number`):

Hard safety cap for custom PPE hiring-signal events in this run. Rows that would exceed the cap are emitted as no-charge limit\_reached diagnostics.
