## What's an Apify Actor?

An Actor is a serverless cloud program that runs on the Apify platform. It has two run modes.
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.

Apify vocabulary and the platform model are defined once, in the agent quickstart at https://apify.com/agents.md.

## 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.

Do not guess an integration path. Every one of them is in the agent quickstart at https://apify.com/agents.md: the Apify MCP server, Agent Skills with the Apify CLI, the JavaScript and Python clients, the REST API, and the account-free path for an agent with no human to sign in. It also carries the rule on stating cost before the first paid run.

For examples already wired to this Actor's own input schema, see the [API](#api) section below.

Each client library has reference documentation the quickstart does not restate: [JavaScript/TypeScript](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/js/docs.md) (`npm install apify-client`) and [Python](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/python/docs.md) (`pip install apify-client`).

# README

## Glassdoor Jobs & Reviews Scraper

Scrape **job listings** and **company reviews** from Glassdoor — no API key needed.

Search for jobs by keyword and location, or extract employee reviews for any company. Data is extracted directly from Glassdoor's internal API for maximum reliability and speed.

### What does this scraper do?

- **Job Search:** Find job listings by keyword (e.g. "software engineer") and location (e.g. "New York", "Remote")
- **Company Reviews:** Extract employee reviews for any company by name

```json

  "searchType": "jobs",
  "keyword": "google ads",
  "location": "United States",

}
```

### Pricing

This actor uses **Pay Per Result** pricing — you only pay for what you get.

- **$0.001** per result (job or review)
- No monthly fees, no minimums

Scraping 1,000 jobs costs approximately **$1.00**.

### Notes

- Glassdoor limits search results to authenticated users for some queries. If you get fewer results than expected, try a more specific keyword.
- Results may vary depending on Glassdoor's anti-bot protection. The actor uses a stealth Chromium browser to maximize success rate.
- Location filtering works best with US cities and states.

## CLI example

```bash
echo '{
  "searchType": "jobs",
  "keyword": "software engineer",
  "location": "United States",
  "maxItems": 50

apify call gio21/glassdoor-scraper --silent --output-dataset

```

## MCP server setup

```json
{
    "mcpServers": {
        "apify": {
            "type": "http",
            "url": "https://mcp.apify.com/?tools=fetch-actor-details,gio21/glassdoor-scraper"
        }
    }
}
```

The hosted server signs you in with OAuth on first connect, so no API token belongs in this config. Clients without OAuth support can send an `Authorization: Bearer <APIFY_API_TOKEN>` header instead, using a token from API & Integrations in Apify Console (https://console.apify.com/settings/integrations).
