Mercor Job Search API

An Apify actor that scrapes job listings from Mercor (work.mercor.com). It fetches all active jobs, applies filters and sorting, and returns detailed information for each listing.

Key Features

• Fetches comprehensive job data including title, description, requirements, and company info.
• Returns salary ranges, location, commitment type (full-time/hourly), and application statistics.
• Supports filtering by posting date (last 24 hours, 7 days, 30 days, or all).
• Provides multiple sorting options: by search relevancy or by date (newest/oldest).
• Allows limiting results (1-1000 jobs).

How to Use

Configure the actor using the following input parameters.

Input Parameters

How It Works

1. Fetches all active job listings from Mercor's API.
2. Filters jobs by the specified timeRange.
3. Orders results either by search relevancy (if orderBy: "search") or by date (newest/oldest).
4. Applies the limit to the final result set.
5. Fetches and enriches each job with detailed information.

Example Inputs

Search for "software engineer" jobs from the last week, ranked by relevance:

{
  "orderBy": "search",
  "searchQuery": "software engineer",
  "timeRange": "7d",
  "limit": 50
}

Get the 100 newest jobs from the last 30 days:

{
  "orderBy": "newest",
  "timeRange": "30d",
  "limit": 100
}

Get the oldest 20 jobs (no date filter):

{
  "orderBy": "oldest",
  "timeRange": "all",
  "limit": 20
}

Input/Output

Output

The actor outputs an array of detailed job objects. Key fields include:

• Job Details: listingId, title, description (markdown), location, commitment.
• Company Info: companyName, companyDescription.
• Compensation: rateMin, rateMax, payRateFrequency ("hourly"/"yearly").
• Metadata: createdAt, status, referralAmount (USD).
• Application Stats: recentCandidatesCount, recentWeekCandidateCount.

Important Notes

• Search vs. Date Ordering: Choosing orderBy: "newest" or "oldest" will cause the searchQuery parameter to be ignored. To rank by search relevancy, you must use orderBy: "search".
• All Jobs: The underlying API always returns all active jobs. Use the timeRange filter and limit parameter to narrow down results.
