Daemon Data - Apify actor examples

Ready-to-run Python, Node.js, curl and n8n examples for the Daemon Data pay-per-result data actors on Apify, plus an AGENTS.md and a Claude/agent skill that describe every actor (id, when to use it, input, output fields) for AI agents and coding assistants.

Every actor reads a site's own JSON endpoints, so runs take seconds, need no proxy or login, and you pay per record returned (compute is included).

Actors

The hex id and data_daemon/<name> are interchangeable everywhere in the Apify API (write the name as data_daemon~<name> inside URLs).

Quick start (SDK)

pip install apify-client        # or: npm i apify-client
export APIFY_TOKEN=...          # https://console.apify.com/settings/integrations
python python/india-ipo-tracker.py
node node/iimjobs-jobs-scraper.mjs

REST: one call in, data out

run-sync-get-dataset-items starts the actor, waits (up to 300 s) and returns the dataset items in the response. No SDK needed.

curl -sS -X POST "https://api.apify.com/v2/acts/data_daemon~iimjobs-jobs-scraper/run-sync-get-dataset-items?clean=1" \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer $APIFY_TOKEN" -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{"queries":["product manager"],"locations":["Bangalore","Mumbai"],"postedWithinDays":7,"maxJobsPerQuery":50}'

• Add &format=csv&fields=title,company.name,locations,applicants,postedAt,url for a CSV with chosen columns (also xlsx, xml, rss).
• For runs that can exceed 300 s (full-board exports, thousands of Oracle requisitions) start the run with POST /v2/acts/{id}/runs, poll GET /v2/actor-runs/{runId}, then read GET /v2/datasets/{datasetId}/items.
• Working versions of both patterns, for every actor: examples/run-sync/curl.sh, run_sync.py (stdlib only), run_sync.mjs (Node 18+, no dependencies).

Schedule it: only new jobs, every morning

examples/only-new-jobs/ is a daily loop for IIMJobs and Hirist that returns each job once. It reads the actor's live input schema and uses onlyNewJobs (actor-side memory in your own Apify account, skipped jobs are not charged) or skipJobIds when the build offers them, and always keeps a local seen-ids file as a safety net. Python and Node versions, cron and GitHub Actions snippets included.

No-code alternative: in Apify Console, fill the input, Save as task, Schedules → Create schedule (daily), then in the task's Integrations tab add Google Sheets, Slack, a webhook, Make or Zapier.

n8n

• n8n/iimjobs-new-jobs-to-google-sheets-and-slack.json: Schedule (08:00 daily) → HTTP Request to run-sync-get-dataset-items → Google Sheets append or update (matched on job id, so re-runs never duplicate rows) → one Slack message with the count. Uses only built-in n8n nodes.
• n8n/<actor>.json: the same schedule → HTTP Request → Google Sheets append pattern for every actor.

Import with Workflows → Import from file, then create two credentials: Header Auth (name Authorization, value Bearer <your Apify token>) for the HTTP Request node, and your Google Sheets (and Slack) account. Replace the sheet URL in the Google Sheets node.

AI agents and MCP

• AGENTS.md: every actor's id, when to use it (and when not to), a verified input example, output fields and list price, plus the REST/MCP/CLI call patterns and cost-sizing rules. Drop it into your agent's context or repository.
• skills/daemon-data-apify-actors/SKILL.md: the same catalog as a skill with frontmatter, for Claude Code, Codex and other skill-aware assistants.
• MCP: add https://mcp.apify.com?tools=data_daemon/iimjobs-jobs-scraper,data_daemon/india-ipo-tracker (any list of our actor names) to your MCP client, with header Authorization: Bearer <APIFY_TOKEN> or OAuth. Docs: https://docs.apify.com/platform/integrations/mcp
