## 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

## Job Postings Scraper (Greenhouse, Lever, Ashby)

Scrape **live job postings straight from company career pages** across the three biggest ATS platforms — **Greenhouse, Lever, and Ashby** — as clean, normalized, AI-ready JSON. No LinkedIn, no login, no API key: this pulls directly from the same public job-board feeds that power company career sites.

### What does this Actor do?

Give it a list of company career-page slugs and get back every open role, normalized into one consistent schema:

- 💼 **Job title, department, team, location, employment type**
- 🌍 **Remote flag** — auto-detected from location/workplace type
- 🔗 **Direct application URL** for each job
- 📅 **Posted/updated date**
- 📝 **Full job description** (optional)
- 🏢 **Works across Greenhouse, Lever, and Ashby** — auto-detects which ATS a company uses
- 🤖 **AI-ready JSON** for job boards, HR analytics, market research, and AI agents (via the Apify MCP server)

### Why scrape company career pages instead of LinkedIn?

LinkedIn scrapers break constantly and risk account bans. Company ATS feeds (Greenhouse, Lever, Ashby) are **public, stable JSON APIs** — the canonical source, updated in real time, with no anti-bot walls. Recruiters, HR-tech builders, labor-market researchers, and sales teams use this to:

- Build **niche job boards** for a specific industry or role
- Track **hiring signals** (which companies are growing which teams)
- Monitor **competitor headcount** and open roles
- Feed **real-time labor-market data** into models and dashboards

### Input example

```json
{
  "companies": ["greenhouse:stripe", "ashby:openai", "lever:mistral", "coinbase"],
  "titleKeywords": ["engineer", "data"],
  "locationKeywords": ["Remote", "New York"],
  "remoteOnly": false,
  "maxJobsPerCompany": 200
}
```

- Use `ats:slug` (e.g. `greenhouse:stripe`) to be explicit, or just `coinbase` to **auto-detect** across all three platforms.
- The slug is the company's job-board handle — the part in their careers URL (e.g. `boards.greenhouse.io/stripe` → `stripe`).

### Output example

```json
{
  "ats": "greenhouse",
  "company": "stripe",
  "jobId": "6841234",
  "title": "Integration Engineer, Professional Services",
  "department": "Professional Services",
  "location": "Chicago",
  "remote": false,
  "employmentType": null,
  "url": "https://stripe.com/jobs/listing/...",
  "updatedAt": "2026-06-30T12:00:00Z"
}
```

### Filters

- **titleKeywords** — keep only jobs whose title matches
- **locationKeywords** — keep only matching locations
- **departments** — keep only matching departments/teams
- **remoteOnly** — remote jobs only
- **includeDescription** — add full description text
- **maxJobsPerCompany** — cap per company

### How much does it cost?

Pay per job returned — a small fee per posting. Scraping 1,000 jobs costs a fraction of a dollar. No subscription.

### FAQ

**How do I find a company's slug?** Look at their careers page URL: `jobs.lever.co/mistral` → `mistral`, `jobs.ashbyhq.com/openai` → `openai`, `boards.greenhouse.io/stripe` → `stripe`.

**Which ATS platforms are supported?** Greenhouse, Lever, and Ashby — together they power a large share of tech and startup hiring. More platforms (Workday, SmartRecruiters) can be added on request.

**Is this legal?** It reads public job-board APIs that companies publish specifically to distribute their openings. No personal data, no login.

**Can AI agents use it?** Yes — works with the Apify MCP server so Claude, ChatGPT, and other agents can call it and pay per use.
