## 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`).

#### FAQ

**How do roles and locations combine?**
Each role is searched in each location. Pick Product Manager and Designer with Denver and Remote, and you get Product Manager jobs in Denver, remote Product Manager jobs, Designer jobs in Denver and remote Designer jobs, all in one dataset.

**Will I get the same job twice?**
No. A job that shows up in more than one search is saved once.

**Does Max jobs split evenly across my searches?**
No. Company links are read first, then your searches in order, and the run stops when Max jobs is reached. With many picks and a low limit the first ones fill most of it. Raise Max jobs to cover every search.

**Can I get every job at one company?**
Yes. Paste the company's job link, like `https://wellfound.com/company/seedlegals/jobs`, up to 3 links per run. You get only that company's jobs, even when Wellfound shows other companies' jobs on the same page. Leave Job roles and Locations empty to get just the companies.

**Are all jobs from a Remote search fully remote?**
They come from Wellfound's own remote listings. Check **remotePolicy** and **location** on each job: some companies list office cities as well.

**What if a search has no jobs?**
Some role and location pairs have no open jobs on Wellfound. The run skips them, carries on with your other searches, and names them in the log and the run's final message.

**Does it extract contact info?**
It extracts the **hiring contact** name and **founders** when Wellfound shows them.

**What if the scraper gets blocked?**
Temporary access problems are retried automatically. If a page stays unavailable after all retries, the run continues with the remaining jobs and reports the failed link in the log.

**How can I contact you?**
Open an issue on this Actor's page first, or email <southdionysus@gmail.com>.
