## 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

## LinkedIn Jobs Scraper — Postings, Companies & Descriptions

Scrape **LinkedIn job listings at scale — no login, no cookies, no account risk.** Search by keyword and location and get clean, structured data for every posting: **title, company, location, posted date, full description, seniority level, employment type, job function, industries and applicant count.**

Most "LinkedIn scrapers" need your logged-in session (and can get your account flagged). This one uses LinkedIn's **public guest job endpoints**, so there's nothing to log into — just run it.

### What you can do with it

- 🧲 **Recruiting & sourcing** — track who's hiring for a role in a market, in real time
- 📊 **Job-market & salary research** — build datasets of demand by title, company, location
- 🏢 **Sales lead-gen** — find companies actively hiring (a strong buying signal)
- 🔔 **Job alerts / aggregators** — feed a board, newsletter, or Slack channel on a schedule

### Input

| Field | Type | Description |
|-------|------|-------------|
| `keywords` | string | Job title or keywords, e.g. `software engineer`, `product manager`. |
| `location` | string | e.g. `United States`, `London, United Kingdom`, `Remote`. |
| `maxJobs` | integer | Maximum number of postings to scrape. |
| `datePosted` | select | `any`, `24h`, `week`, `month`. |
| `jobType` | select | `full-time`, `part-time`, `contract`, `temporary`, `internship`. |
| `remoteFilter` | select | `on-site`, `remote`, `hybrid`. |
| `experienceLevel` | select | `entry-level`, `associate`, `mid-senior`, `director`, `executive`… |
| `fetchDescription` | boolean | Open each job for full description + criteria + applicant count. |
| `proxyConfiguration` | object | Residential proxy recommended (LinkedIn rate-limits datacenter IPs). |

#### Example

```json
{
  "keywords": "data engineer",
  "location": "Germany",
  "datePosted": "week",
  "remoteFilter": "remote",
  "maxJobs": 200,
  "fetchDescription": true
}
```

### Output

Each item is one job posting:

```json
{
  "jobId": "4412034983",
  "title": "Software Engineer I",
  "company": "Sony Interactive Entertainment",
  "companyUrl": "https://www.linkedin.com/company/sony-interactive-entertainment-llc",
  "location": "Los Angeles Metropolitan Area",
  "jobUrl": "https://www.linkedin.com/jobs/view/4412034983",
  "postedAt": "2026-07-23",
  "postedAgo": "3 days ago",
  "companyLogo": "https://media.licdn.com/dms/image/…/company-logo_100_100…",
  "benefit": "Actively Hiring",
  "descriptionText": "Why Sony Interactive Entertainment? …",
  "descriptionHtml": "<p>Why Sony Interactive Entertainment? …</p>",
  "seniorityLevel": "Not Applicable",
  "employmentType": "Full-time",
  "jobFunction": "Engineering and Information Technology",
  "industries": "Software Development, Consumer Services, and Entertainment Providers",
  "applicants": "Over 200 applicants"
}
```

Export to JSON, CSV, Excel, or pull live via the Apify API.

### Notes

- Uses LinkedIn's **public** guest job endpoints — **no login required**, so your account is never used or exposed.
- A **residential proxy** is strongly recommended; LinkedIn rate-limits datacenter IPs. The actor rotates IPs and retries on `429`.
- Set `fetchDescription: false` for a fast, cheap run (list data only) or `true` for the full description and job criteria.

# Actor input Schema

Job title or keywords to search for, e.g. "software engineer", "product manager", "data analyst".

## `location` (type: `string`):

Location to search in, e.g. "United States", "London, United Kingdom", "Remote".

## `maxJobs` (type: `integer`):

Maximum number of job postings to scrape.

## `datePosted` (type: `string`):

Filter by how recently the job was posted.

## `jobType` (type: `string`):

Filter by employment type.

## `remoteFilter` (type: `string`):

// Prepare Actor input
const input = {
    "keywords": "software engineer",

// Run the Actor and wait for it to finish
const run = await client.actor("hichemdev/linkedin-jobs-scraper").call(input);

// Fetch and print Actor results from the run's dataset (if any)
console.log('Results from dataset');
console.log(`💾 Check your data here: https://console.apify.com/storage/datasets/${run.defaultDatasetId}`);

## CLI example

```bash
echo '{
  "keywords": "software engineer",
  "location": "United States",
  "maxJobs": 15
}' |
apify call hichemdev/linkedin-jobs-scraper --silent --output-dataset

```

## MCP server setup

```json
{
    "mcpServers": {
        "apify": {
            "type": "http",
            "url": "https://mcp.apify.com/?tools=fetch-actor-details,hichemdev/linkedin-jobs-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).
