## 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

## Jobstreet & JobsDB Jobs Scraper

Scrape job listings from **Jobstreet** (Malaysia, Philippines, Singapore, Indonesia, Vietnam) and **JobsDB** (Thailand, Hong Kong) — the SEEK-powered job boards of South-East Asia. Paste any search URL and get clean, structured rows: title, company, location, salary, classification, work type, listing date, teaser and apply link. Pure HTTP, no browser.

![How it works](https://raw.githubusercontent.com/muhamed-didovic/muhamed-didovic.github.io/main/assets/how-it-works-jobstreet.png)

### Why use this scraper

- **All of SE-Asia in one actor** — one row shape across Jobstreet MY/PH/SG/ID/VN and JobsDB TH/HK. Country and locale are detected automatically from the URL you paste.
- **Search-URL driven** — copy any search from the site (keywords + location + filters) and it's paginated for you up to your item cap.
- **Clean, flat output** — one row per job, salary text preserved, classification split into category + sub-category, CSV-friendly by default.
- **Pure HTTP, no browser** — fast and cheap; no Playwright, no headless Chrome.
- **Optional employer email enrichment** — discover each employer's website and harvest a contact email (opt-in, billed only on a hit).

### What it does

Give it one or more Jobstreet/JobsDB **search** URLs. For each, it reads the live results and emits one dataset row per job with all the fields below. Searches paginate automatically until you hit `Maximum items`.

### Supported inputs

| Input | Example | Supported |
|---|---|---|
| Keyword search | `jobstreet.com.my/developer-jobs` | ✅ |
| Keyword + location | `jobstreet.com.ph/accounting-jobs/in-Manila` | ✅ |
| Query-string search | `jobstreet.com.my/jobs?keywords=marketing&where=Kuala+Lumpur` | ✅ |
| JobsDB search | `th.jobsdb.com/jobs?keywords=developer` | ✅ |
| Single job URL `/job/{id}` | — | ❌ paste a search URL instead |

### Use cases

- **Labour-market & salary research** across SE-Asia markets.
- **Recruitment & sourcing** — monitor new postings by keyword, city, or classification.
- **Competitive hiring intelligence** — track which companies are hiring for what.
- **Aggregation & job-board feeds** — pull fresh listings into your own product.

### How it works

1. You paste Jobstreet/JobsDB search URLs.
2. The actor detects the country, language and region from the page, then queries the site's own search service and paginates through results.
3. Each job is normalised into one flat row and pushed to the dataset.

### Input configuration

| Field | Type | Description |
|---|---|---|
| `startUrls` | array | Jobstreet/JobsDB **search** URLs (auto-paginated). |
| `maxItems` | integer | Hard cap on jobs collected. Default 10000. |
| `flatten` | boolean | JSON-stringify arrays into `*_json` columns for CSV (default on). |
| `enrichEmails` | boolean | Opt-in employer contact-email enrichment (billed per email found). |
| `maxConcurrency` | integer | Parallel row processing (mainly for enrichment). Default 8. |
| `proxy` | object | Proxy config. Defaults to Apify Residential. |

| `title` | Job title |
| `company` | Advertiser / employer name |
| `location` | Job location (city, region) |
| `classification` / `subClassification` | Category + sub-category |
| `workType` | Full time / Part time / Contract / Casual |

### FAQ

**Does it return the full job description?** It returns the **teaser** (description snippet) plus all structured fields. The full HTML body is served by Jobstreet through an authenticated API and isn't included.

**Can I scrape a single `/job/{id}` URL?** No — paste a **search** URL (e.g. `jobstreet.com.my/developer-jobs`). Single-job detail is auth-walled.

**Which countries?** Jobstreet MY, PH, SG, ID, VN and JobsDB TH, HK — pass the matching country's search URL.

**Do I need a proxy?** Apify Residential (the default) is recommended for larger runs.

### Support

Found an issue or want a field added? Open an issue on the actor's Issues tab and we'll take a look.

### Additional services

Need employer contact emails? Turn on `enrichEmails` to append a best-effort contact email + website per employer (billed only when an email is found).

# Actor input Schema

## `startUrls` (type: `array`):

Full Jobstreet/JobsDB search URLs. Each is paginated automatically until `Maximum items` is reached.

## `flatten` (type: `boolean`):

When enabled (default), arrays (e.g. `bulletPoints`) are JSON-stringified into `*_json` fields for CSV. Disable to keep the full nested JSON.

## `enrichEmails` (type: `boolean`):

If enabled, tries to find a contact email for each employer by discovering the company's website (Clearbit) and reading its contact/about pages. Adds contactEmail + contactWebsite columns plus a detailed emailEnrichment object. Best-effort, billed per contact email found; only charged when an email is returned, never for misses.

## `maxItems` (type: `integer`):

Hard cap on the number of jobs collected. Each search returns 30 results/page and paginates automatically; use this cap to control billing.

## `maxConcurrency` (type: `integer`):

Maximum number of rows processed in parallel (mainly relevant when employer-email enrichment is on). 6-12 is the sweet spot.

## `maxRequestRetries` (type: `integer`):

Number of retries before a failed request is given up.

## `proxy` (type: `object`):

Leave empty — the actor already routes all traffic through its own built-in residential proxy at no extra cost to you. Only set this if you want to use your own proxies.
