## What's an Apify Actor?

Actors are web data automations that power AI and operations. They run on the Apify platform to scrape websites, process data, connect APIs, and automate workflows.
In Batch mode, an Actor accepts a well-defined JSON input, performs an action which can take anything from a few seconds to a few hours,
and optionally produces a well-defined JSON output, datasets with results, or files in key-value store.
In Standby mode, an Actor provides a web server which can be used as a website, API, or an MCP server.
Actors are written with capital "A".

## How to integrate an Actor?

If asked about integration, you help developers integrate Actors into their projects.
You adapt to their stack and deliver integrations that are safe, well-documented, and production-ready.
The best way to integrate Actors is as follows.

- **AI agents and MCP clients** — the [Apify MCP server](https://docs.apify.com/integrations/mcp.md) at `https://mcp.apify.com` (remote, streamable HTTP, OAuth on first use).
- **Agentic workflows and local Actor development** — [Agent Skills](https://apify.com/.well-known/agent-skills/index.json) with the [Apify CLI](https://docs.apify.com/cli/docs.md): `npm install -g apify-cli`, then `apify login`.
- **JavaScript/TypeScript projects** — the official [JS/TS client](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/js/docs.md): `npm install apify-client`.
- **Python projects** — the official [Python client](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/python/docs.md): `pip install apify-client`.
- **Any other language** — the [REST API](https://docs.apify.com/api/v2.md).

For usage examples, see the [API](#api) section below.

For more details, see Apify documentation as [Markdown index](https://docs.apify.com/llms.txt) and [Markdown full-text](https://docs.apify.com/llms-full.txt).

# README

## BestJobs.eu Scraper — Romania Jobs, Salaries & Applicant Counts

Extract structured job listings from **BestJobs.eu**, one of Romania's biggest job platforms, with EU-wide postings. Search by keyword and location and get clean JSON/CSV with titles, companies, disclosed salaries, employer ratings and — unique to this board — **how many candidates have already applied** to each job.

### Why use this scraper

- **Applicant counts** — every row carries `applicationsCount`, so you can see which jobs get 5 applicants and which get 500. No other field tells you more about competition on a posting.
- **Employer ratings included** — the company's BestJobs rating comes with each row.
- **Verified location filter** — an unrecognised location returns **zero rows**, never the national feed. You are never billed for jobs you did not ask for.
- **Honest salary parsing** — `salaryMin`, `salaryMax` and `salaryCurrency` are parsed from the posting; when the posting names no currency, the field is `null` — never guessed.
- **Geo coordinates** — `locationDetails` includes latitude/longitude when the board publishes them, ready for maps.
- **Pure HTTP** — no browser, fast, cheap.

### What data you get

```json
{
  "id": 812345,
  "title": "Electrician întreținere",
  "url": "https://www.bestjobs.eu/ro/loc-de-munca/electrician-intretinere",
  "company": {
    "name": "Example Industrial SRL",
    "logoUrl": "https://cdn.bestjobs.eu/uploads/company/logo/abc.png",
    "rating": 4.2
  },
  "salaryText": "4500 - 5500 RON",
  "salaryMin": 4500,
  "salaryMax": 5500,
  "salaryCurrency": "RON",
  "locations": ["Brașov"],
  "locationDetails": [{ "name": "Brașov", "lat": 45.657, "lng": 25.601 }],
  "applicationsCount": 27,
  "premium": false,
  "scrapedAt": "2026-08-11T10:00:00.000Z"
}
```

Fields the posting does not include are `null` — this Actor never invents data.

### How to run it

1. Set `keywords` (e.g. `["sofer"]`, `["developer"]`, `["asistent medical"]`).
2. Optionally add `locations`, `minSalary` or `onlyWithSalary`.
3. Click **Start** and export the dataset as JSON, CSV or Excel.

Works out of the box: the default input (`keywords: ["developer"]`, `maxItems: 100`) runs successfully with no changes.

### Input parameters

| Field | Type | Default | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
| `keywords` | array | `["developer"]` | Search terms. |
| `locations` | array | — | Location names, e.g. `["Bucuresti", "Cluj"]`. |
| `maxItems` | integer | `100` | Cap on returned jobs. |
| `onlyWithSalary` | boolean | `false` | Keep only postings with a disclosed salary. |
| `minSalary` | integer | — | Drop rows whose parsed salary is below this number. |

### Pricing

**$3.00 per 1,000 jobs** (pay per event, no subscription). Examples:

- 100 jobs → **$0.30**
- 500 jobs → **$1.50**
- Zero results (unrecognised keyword or location) → **$0.00**.

### Use cases

- **Competition analysis** — sort by `applicationsCount` to find under-applied jobs worth applying to, or over-applied roles worth avoiding.
- **Salary research** — compare disclosed ranges across locations and roles.
- **Job alerts** — schedule daily runs and push new rows to Sheets, Slack or email.
- **Recruitment intelligence** — track hiring activity and employer ratings over time.
- **AI agents** — call this Actor as a tool through the [Apify MCP server](https://mcp.apify.com/?actors=antique_sundew/bestjobs-scraper).

### Limitations

- Returns only what BestJobs.eu publishes publicly — no candidate data, no login.
- Salary fields are `null` when the employer hides them.
- `minSalary` compares against the parsed salary; postings without any salary are dropped when it is set.

### FAQ

**How do I scrape BestJobs without coding?**
Run this Actor from the Apify Console — set keywords, press Start, export CSV.

**What makes this different from other job scrapers?**
`applicationsCount` and employer `rating` — signals about demand and employer quality that job rows on other boards do not carry.

**What happens on a typo'd location?**
Zero rows, zero cost. The location filter is verified: unknown places never fall back to the national feed.

**Can I get only jobs that pay at least X?**
Yes — set `minSalary` (in the currency the postings use) or `onlyWithSalary: true`.

The hosted server signs you in with OAuth on first connect, so no API token belongs in this config. Clients without OAuth support can send an `Authorization: Bearer <APIFY_API_TOKEN>` header instead, using a token from API & Integrations in Apify Console (https://console.apify.com/settings/integrations).
