# 🇨🇭 Job.ch Daily Scraper (Apify Actor)

👋 Overview

Looking for an Apify Developer? This project demonstrates a production-ready Apify Actor built for high-volume lead generation.

It monitors jobs.ch (Switzerland's #1 job board) to identify companies hiring for specific roles. The data is extracted, normalized, and pushed to Apify Datasets, ready to fuel sales pipelines.

⚡ Apify Skills Demonstrated

This actor showcases advanced usage of the Apify SDK for Python:

• Hybrid Architecture: Combines Playwright (for complex UI interactions/cookies) with HTTPX (for high-speed API scraping), optimizing cost and speed on the Apify platform.
• Apify Proxy & Anti-Blocking: Implements smart proxy rotation and session management to bypass anti-bot protections.
• Typed Input Schema: Uses a strict input_schema.json for validation in the Apify Console.
• Resilient Error Handling: Features exponential backoff and automatic retries for network stability.
• Structured Storage: Outputs clean, normalized JSON to Apify Datasets.
