## 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.

### What you get

Adzuna is a global job search aggregator covering 19 countries including the US, UK, Australia, Germany, France, India, and Canada. This scraper returns structured job-listing data from Adzuna search results, ready for aggregation, salary research, or trend analysis. Pass one or more queries and optionally a country or location filter.

### Output fields

| Field | Description |
|-------|-------------|
| `title` | Job title |
| `company` | Company name |
| `location` | Job location |
| `salary` | Salary information when available (may be an Adzuna estimate) |
| `description_snippet` | Short description summary from the search result |
| `url` | Direct link to the full listing on Adzuna |
| `source` | Always `"adzuna"` |

### Example output

```json
{
    "title": "Senior Software Engineer",
    "company": "Microsoft",
    "location": "Seattle, WA",
    "salary": "$130,000 - $180,000 a year",
    "description_snippet": "We are looking for a talented engineer to join our cloud platform team...",
    "url": "https://www.adzuna.com/details/4123456789",
    "source": "adzuna"
}
```

### Input parameters

| Parameter | Required | Description |
|-----------|----------|-------------|
| `queries` | Yes | List of job search terms (e.g., `["software engineer", "data scientist"]`). |
| `country` | No | Country code (e.g., `us`, `uk`, `de`, `au`, `fr`, `in`, `ca`). Default `us`. Supported: US, UK, Australia, Germany, France, India, Canada, New Zealand, South Africa, Poland, Netherlands, Italy, Spain, Austria, Belgium, Brazil, Mexico, Singapore, Switzerland. |
| `location` | No | Location filter within the chosen country (e.g., `"london"`, `"new york"`, `"berlin"`). |
| `maxResults` | No | Max job listings across all queries. Default `25`. Range 1-500. |
| `proxyConfiguration` | No | Proxy settings. Leave default for best results. |

### Use cases

- **Job aggregators**: Combine Adzuna data with other job boards for broad coverage across 19 countries.
- **Salary researchers**: Compare salary ranges for the same role across different countries and cities.
- **Hiring analysts**: Track which roles and locations are getting the most postings over time.
- **Recruiter benchmarking**: Map the competitive landscape for a role before posting your own.

### Pricing

Pay-per-result pricing. Tiered discounts apply automatically based on usage volume.

| Tier | Price per result |
|------|------------------|
| FREE | $0.0015 |
| BRONZE | $0.00125 |
| SILVER | $0.001 |
| GOLD | $0.00085 |

### Limitations

- `description_snippet` is a short summary, not the full job description. Follow `url` for the complete copy.
- Salary data is not always present; when it is, it may be an Adzuna estimate rather than the employer's stated figure.
- Listings come from Adzuna's aggregated index, so freshness depends on Adzuna's own crawl cadence.

### Compared to alternatives

- **vs. Adzuna public API**: Adzuna's official API requires an API key, has a limited free tier, and rate-limits aggressively. This actor returns the same core data without requiring an account.
- **vs. other Apify Store scrapers**: Very limited competition for Adzuna specifically — this actor is the default choice on Apify Store.

Pairs well with [Indeed Scraper](https://apify.com/thirdwatch/indeed-jobs-scraper?fpr=9m2cd6) and [LinkedIn Jobs Scraper](https://apify.com/thirdwatch/linkedin-jobs-scraper?fpr=9m2cd6) for multi-source job coverage.
