Tidy Data – Apify Actor examples

Small, copy-paste examples for calling the three Tidy Data scrapers on the Apify Store from Python, Node.js and curl.

Actor	What it returns	Price (pay per event)
Nordic Jobs Scraper & Alerts	Job ads from NAV Arbeidsplassen (Norway), Platsbanken / JobTech (Sweden) and EURES (Finland, Denmark, Iceland) in one schema, with "only new jobs" alerts to a webhook, Slack or e-mail	$0.90 per 1,000 jobs
App Store & Google Play Reviews Scraper	Reviews of any app from the Apple App Store and Google Play	$0.09 per 1,000 reviews
Software Advice Reviews Scraper (Capterra network)	B2B software reviews with pros, cons, sub-ratings and vendor replies	$3 per 1,000 reviews

Each run also has a tiny start fee ($0.00005). Apify's free plan includes monthly credit, which is plenty for trying these examples.

Setup

1. Create a free Apify account and copy your API token from Console → Settings → API & Integrations.
2. Put it in an environment variable (never commit it):

export APIFY_TOKEN=your_token_here

Python (apify-client 3.x)

cd python
pip install -r requirements.txt
python nordic_jobs.py
python app_reviews.py
python software_advice_reviews.py

Node.js (18+)

cd node
npm install
node nordic-jobs.mjs
node app-reviews.mjs
node software-advice-reviews.mjs

curl

./curl/run-sync.sh

All examples use a tiny limit (3 items), so a test run costs a fraction of a cent.

Use cases

Nordic jobs

• Daily alert for new jobs matching your keywords, pushed to Slack, a webhook (Zapier, Make, n8n) or your e-mail.
• Labour-market research: which occupations, employers and regions are hiring.
• Feeding a niche job board or a recruiting CRM.

App Store & Google Play reviews

• Monitor reviews of your own app and your competitors' apps.
• Find recurring complaints (crashes, login, ads, pricing) for product planning.
• Build sentiment datasets for NLP.

Software Advice reviews

• Competitive research on B2B software: pros, cons and sub-ratings.
• Track vendor replies to reviews.
• Collect review data for market reports.

Input examples

Nordic jobs – daily alert

{
  "countries": ["NO", "SE", "FI", "DK"],
  "searchTerms": ["developer", "data engineer"],
  "keywordMatch": "title",
  "location": "Oslo",
  "postedWithinDays": 1,
  "onlyNewJobs": true,
  "alertName": "oslo-developers",
  "slackWebhookUrl": "https://hooks.slack.com/services/XXX/YYY/ZZZ",
  "notifyTopN": 10
}

Schedule it daily in Apify Console (Schedules). Each run returns only jobs that were not delivered by earlier runs of the same alertName. Notifications are sent only when there is at least one new job. E-mail and phone numbers in ad texts are masked by default (redactContacts: true).

App reviews

{
  "apps": ["https://apps.apple.com/us/app/whatsapp-messenger/id310633997", "com.whatsapp"],
  "countries": ["us"],
  "maxReviewsPerApp": 100,
  "sort": "NEWEST"
}

Software Advice reviews

{
  "products": ["Slack", "HubSpot CRM"],
  "maxReviewsPerProduct": 100,
  "sort": "MOST_RECENT"
}

See each Actor's Input tab for every option.
