## 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.

### Limitations

- CutShort is smaller than Naukri — fewer total listings, but higher quality and salary transparency.
- Results are scoped to the skills you pass in; there is no "all jobs" mode.
- Company size and funding stage are populated when CutShort has the data; some listings will have empty values.

### Compared to alternatives

- **vs. other Apify Store scrapers**: No direct competitor for CutShort — monopoly position.
- **vs. CutShort's public API**: CutShort does not offer a public data API. This actor is the structured-data alternative.

Pairs well with [Naukri Scraper](https://apify.com/thirdwatch/naukri-jobs-scraper?fpr=9m2cd6) for mass India jobs and [AmbitionBox Scraper](https://apify.com/thirdwatch/ambitionbox-scraper?fpr=9m2cd6) for salary and company ratings.

### FAQ

**Do I need a CutShort account?**

**How does CutShort compare to Naukri?**
CutShort has fewer listings but focuses on curated tech/startup jobs with better salary transparency and company/funding data.

**What currency are the salaries in?**
Indian Rupees (INR), reported as annual CTC (Cost to Company).
