Pracuj.pl Job Scraper

Scrapes job listings from pracuj.pl — Poland's largest job board. Extracts structured data including job title, company, salary, location, work modes, and more.

What does Pracuj.pl Job Scraper do?

This actor takes one or more pracuj.pl search URLs and returns structured job offer data. It handles pagination automatically, so you get all results — not just the first page.

It works by opening each URL in a headless browser, extracting embedded JSON data from the page (fast path), and falling back to DOM parsing if needed.

How much will it cost?

Pricing: $7 per 1,000 results.

The actor uses Playwright with Firefox, which requires ~1 GB of memory. A typical run:

• ~5 seconds per page (each page contains ~20 offers)
• Scraping 1,000 offers takes roughly 50 pages = ~4 minutes of compute

Proxy costs depend on your configuration — the actor works without proxies locally, but on the Apify platform you may want to use datacenter or residential proxies for reliability.

Input

Field	Type	Required	Default	Description
urls	string[]	Yes	—	Pracuj.pl search URLs to scrape
max_items_per_url	integer	No	100	Max offers per URL (0 = unlimited)
proxy	object	No	—	Apify proxy configuration

How to build search URLs

Pracuj.pl search URLs follow this pattern:

https://www.pracuj.pl/praca/{keyword};kw/{location};wp?{params}

Examples:

What you want	URL
All jobs from last 24h	https://www.pracuj.pl/praca?rd=0
Python jobs	https://www.pracuj.pl/praca/python;kw
Python jobs, last 24h	https://www.pracuj.pl/praca/python;kw?rd=0
DevOps in Warszawa	https://www.pracuj.pl/praca/devops;kw/warszawa;wp
Java in Krakow, last 24h	https://www.pracuj.pl/praca/java;kw/krakow;wp?rd=0
By category (IT)	https://www.pracuj.pl/praca?cc=5015001

URL parameters:

• rd=0 — last 24 hours only
• cc=XXXXX — category code
• pn=N — page number (handled automatically by the actor)

Example input

{
    "urls": [
        "https://www.pracuj.pl/praca/python;kw?rd=0",

Tips

• Get only fresh offers: Add ?rd=0 to any URL to filter for last 24 hours.
• Multiple searches: Pass multiple URLs in the urls array — they run concurrently.
• Limit results: Set max_items_per_url to control costs. Each page has ~20 offers.
• Proxies: The actor works without proxies for small runs. For large-scale scraping, enable Apify proxy to avoid rate limiting.

How it works (technical)

1. Opens each URL in a headless Firefox browser via Playwright
2. Waits for the results section to render
3. Extracts job data from embedded JSON in <script> tags (primary path — fast and reliable)
4. Falls back to DOM parsing with CSS selectors if no JSON is found
5. Automatically follows pagination until max_items_per_url is reached or no more pages exist
6. Pushes each offer to the Apify dataset

Why Playwright?

Pracuj.pl is a React SPA behind Cloudflare managed challenge protection. Simple HTTP requests receive a 403 with a JavaScript challenge. A real browser is required to render the page and extract data.
