# Bayt.com MENA Job Listing & Salary Scraper

Use this skill to fetch Bayt data with the Apify Actor `dataspryva/bayt-com-mena-job-listing-and-salary-scraper` and work with the returned rows.

## Before running

1. Check that `APIFY_TOKEN` is set in the environment. Never print it or write it to a file.
2. Build `input.json` from the user's request using the fields below. Keep limits small for a first run.
3. Confirm the search terms or URLs with the user if the request is ambiguous.

## Input fields

| Field | Type | Meaning |
| --- | --- | --- |
| `mode` | one of `search`, `byUrls`, `byJobIds`, `company` | What to scrape. Search jobs builds one Bayt search per query. Paste URLs accepts job, search or company links. Job IDs resolves specific postings. Company pulls a profile and its open roles. |
| `searchQueries` | array | One keyword per entry, for example accountant or software engineer. Several entries are searched in order and duplicates are removed. |
| `country` | string | Bayt market to search. Pick International for every country, or choose one of the 24 supported markets. |
| `employmentType` | one of `any`, `full_time`, `part_time`, `contractor`, `temporary`, `internship`, `freelance` | Filter by the employment type Bayt publishes for the job. |
| `careerLevel` | one of `any`, `student`, `fresh_graduate`, `entry`, `mid_career`, `management`, `director`, `senior_executive` | Filter by seniority. Bayt publishes this for some jobs, mostly employer postings. |
| `datePosted` | one of `any`, `last_24_hours`, `last_week`, `last_month` | Only return jobs Bayt marks as posted within this window. |
| `sortBy` | one of `date`, `relevance` | Newest first is best for monitoring. Most relevant is best for broad keyword research. |
| `industry` | string | Filter by one of Bayt's employer industries. |
| `remoteOnly` | boolean | Use Bayt's server-side remote-working filter. |
| `easyApplyOnly` | boolean | Only return jobs that accept an application directly on Bayt. |
| `includeDetails` | boolean | On: full descriptions, skills, preferred-candidate criteria, parsed salary and company metadata. Off: faster, listing-card fields only. |
| `maxItems` | integer | Overall record limit for the run. Bayt exposes at most about 10,000 results per single search. |
| `maxPages` | integer | Safety cap on listing pages per search. Bayt shows 30 jobs per page and stops near 10,000 results. |
| `startUrls` | array | Job, search or company URLs, used when Mode is Paste URLs. Arabic and English Bayt URLs are accepted. |

Example `input.json` (the Actor's published prefill):

```json
{
  "mode": "search",
  "searchQueries": [
    "accountant"
  ],
  "country": "uae",
  "employmentType": "any",
  "careerLevel": "any",
  "datePosted": "any",
  "sortBy": "date",
  "industry": "any",
  "remoteOnly": false,
  "easyApplyOnly": false,
  "includeDetails": false,
  "maxItems": 2,
  "maxPages": 1,
  "includeCompanyJobs": false
}
```

## Run

```bash
curl -sS -X POST "https://api.apify.com/v2/acts/dataspryva~bayt-com-mena-job-listing-and-salary-scraper/run-sync-get-dataset-items" \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer $APIFY_TOKEN" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d @input.json > results.json
```

The call waits for the run to finish and returns the dataset items as a JSON array. If the run needs more than 300 seconds the API answers with HTTP 408; then start the run with `POST /v2/acts/dataspryva~bayt-com-mena-job-listing-and-salary-scraper/runs`, poll `GET /v2/actor-runs/{runId}` until `SUCCEEDED`, and read `GET /v2/datasets/{defaultDatasetId}/items`.

## Output

Each item is one record. The Actor does not publish an output schema, so inspect the first item before mapping fields.

Summarise what was found, cite the record URLs when present, and say how many items came back. Do not invent values for empty fields.
