## What's an Apify Actor?

An Actor is a serverless cloud program that runs on the Apify platform. It has two run modes.
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.

Apify vocabulary and the platform model are defined once, in the agent quickstart at https://apify.com/agents.md.

## 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.

Do not guess an integration path. Every one of them is in the agent quickstart at https://apify.com/agents.md: the Apify MCP server, Agent Skills with the Apify CLI, the JavaScript and Python clients, the REST API, and the account-free path for an agent with no human to sign in. It also carries the rule on stating cost before the first paid run.

For examples already wired to this Actor's own input schema, see the [API](#api) section below.

Each client library has reference documentation the quickstart does not restate: [JavaScript/TypeScript](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/js/docs.md) (`npm install apify-client`) and [Python](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/python/docs.md) (`pip install apify-client`).

# README

## BlueLionJob Jobs Scraper

Scrape **BlueLionJob jobs** from [bluelionjob.com](https://www.bluelionjob.com), a job board with about 2,500 active IT offers, mostly in Poland and also in other countries, and get clean data as JSON, CSV or Excel: title, company, locations, work type, contract, seniority, **monthly salary**, **skills** and, with `extractFullDetails`, the **full description**. No browser, no login: plain requests, and you can run it from the Apify API too.

### 🔎 What does BlueLionJob Jobs Scraper do?

- Searches bluelionjob.com by keywords, locations, categories, contract types, work type, experience level and salary, or reads any listing or offer URL you paste.
- Returns one row per offer, with skills, seniority and contract. Turn on `extractFullDetails` to add the full description (text and HTML).
- Reads the portal's public offer list in one request per run and matches your keywords and filters itself, so even a broad search is quick. A keyword matches when it is a whole word of the title or description.

### ⭐ Why this one

> **1️⃣ One schema across job portals.**
> All our job actors share one output schema and one input schema. Build your pipeline once: our other job actors ([NoFluffJobs](https://apify.com/datawatcher/nofluffjobs-scraper), [Pracuj.pl](https://apify.com/datawatcher/pracuj-scraper), [Just Join IT](https://apify.com/datawatcher/justjoin-scraper), [Bulldogjob](https://apify.com/datawatcher/bulldogjob-scraper), [RocketJobs.pl](https://apify.com/datawatcher/rocketjobs-scraper), [theprotocol.it](https://apify.com/datawatcher/theprotocol-scraper), [Skillshot.pl](https://apify.com/datawatcher/skillshot-scraper), [Hollylist](https://apify.com/datawatcher/hollylist-scraper)) take the same input and return the same fields, so adding a portal means changing the actor name, not your code.

- **IT offers in Poland and abroad.** Poland first, with offers in Germany and other countries too, in the same table as your other job sources.
- **Salary as a monthly figure.** The first `salaries` item is the monthly amount and the original period (for example per year) follows it with `isOriginal` true. Currency and `grossNet` are included.
- **Full text when you want it.** Skills, seniority and contract come with each offer. With `extractFullDetails` on, the row also has the description (text and HTML) and the company details.
- **No start fee.** $0.40 per 1,000 offers, +$1.50 per 1,000 offers with full details. You pay only for rows you get.
- **Filters buyers ask for:** search words, locations, categories, contract types, work type, experience level and "with salary only". Or paste any bluelionjob.com listing or offer URL.
- **Honest runs:** a run summary and a health status. A search that fails writes an unbilled diagnostic row.
- **Fast:** plain requests, no browser.

### 🚀 How to scrape BlueLionJob jobs

1. Open the actor on Apify and click **Try for free**.
2. Fill in keywords, locations and filters, or paste a bluelionjob.com listing or offer URL into `startUrls`.
3. Click **Start**.
4. Download the **BlueLionJob jobs data** as JSON, CSV or Excel from the Output tab, or fetch it with the Apify API.

### Data

This actor returns only what the site shows publicly at run time. We don't store or keep that data and are not its controller — you decide how you use it.

This is an independent tool, not affiliated with or endorsed by bluelionjob.com; trademarks belong to their owners. It reads only public job pages: no login, no recruiter accounts. You are responsible for following bluelionjob.com's terms and data-protection law (GDPR and others).

### 🤖 Use with AI agents (MCP)

AI assistants (Claude, ChatGPT, Cursor…) can run this actor through Apify's MCP server. Connect the server in your assistant, then ask, for example:

```text
Use the BlueLionJob Jobs Scraper to find remote Python jobs with a salary. Show the 10 latest, with company, city, monthly salary and link.
```

### 🔌 Run it your way

- **Schedule it** with Apify schedules for daily new-job feeds.
- **Call it from the Apify API** and its clients (Python, JavaScript).
- **Connect it** to Make, n8n, Zapier, webhooks or Google Sheets.
- **Ask an AI agent to run it**: see [Use with AI agents (MCP)](#-use-with-ai-agents-mcp).

### ⚙️ Input

Every job actor of ours takes the same inputs. Example: Python jobs in Warsaw, B2B or employment, mid or senior:

```json
{
  "searchQueries": ["python"],
  "locations": ["Warszawa"],
  "experience": ["mid", "senior"],
  "contractTypes": ["b2b", "employment"],
  "maxResults": 50
}
```

| Field | Default | Notes |
| --- | --- | --- |
| `maxResults` | `50` | Offers in total. `0` = no limit (the run timeout still applies) |
| `startUrls` | – | bluelionjob.com listing pages (`https://www.bluelionjob.com/job_offers?technologyAndLanguage=3000004,3000002&page=1`) or offer pages (`https://www.bluelionjob.com/job-offer/get/infinity_quest_android_developer_warsaw_6fde7`). A listing URL is read with the filters in its address: technologies (any of), excluded technologies, salary, country, city, level, contract, working mode and time, specialization, category, benefit and reference number; `page=N` starts at offer (N-1)\*20. An offer URL is read directly. The filters below still apply to the rows |
| `searchQueries` | `python` in the form | Keywords, one search per line (a job title or a technology, e.g. java or devops). Empty: every offer |
| `locations` | – | City names; accents and case do not matter (Krakow = Kraków). Empty: anywhere |
| `categories` | – | `backend`, `frontend`, `fullstack`, `mobile`, `devops`, `data`, `ai-ml`, `testing`, `security`, `it-admin`, `support`, `architecture`, `project-management`, `ux-ui`, `business-analysis`, `sales`, `marketing`, `hr`, `finance`, `production`, `legal` |
| `contractTypes` | – | `employment`, `b2b`, `mandate`, `internship` |
| `workType` | – | `remote`, `hybrid`, `onsite` |
| `experience` | – | `intern`, `junior`, `mid`, `senior`, `expert`, `lead`, `manager` |
| `withSalaryOnly` | `false` | Only offers that show a salary |
| `extractFullDetails` | `false` | Off: list data (title, company, skills, contract, salary), cheaper and faster. On: the full description, plus the company website, address, company text and active offer count; each company costs one extra request per run |
| `maxConcurrency` | `1` | Requests processed in parallel |
| `maxRequestsPerMinute` | `60` | Request rate for the whole run |
| `proxyConfiguration` | off | Apify Proxy settings |
| `maxRequestRetries` | `2` | Retries after a failed request |

### 🧭 Input modes: what you give, what you get

One actor, six ways to use it. The mode follows from what you fill in.

| Mode | You give | Rows | Offer pages read |
| --- | --- | --- | --- |
| 🟢 **1. Default search** | nothing (empty input) | Active offers, up to `maxResults` | Only with `extractFullDetails` on |
| 🔤 **2. Keyword search** | `searchQueries` | Offers with the keywords in title or description | Only with `extractFullDetails` on |
| 🎛️ **3. Filtered search** | a location or other filters, keywords optional | Offers matching the filters | Only with `extractFullDetails` on |
| 🔗 **4. Listing / search URL** | `startUrls` with a listing URL | That listing, with its filters | Only with `extractFullDetails` on |
| 📄 **5. One offer URL** | `startUrls` with an offer URL | That one offer, with full details | Always |
| 🧩 **6. URLs + filters** | `startUrls` plus filters | Only rows matching the filters | Offer URLs always; listed offers only with `extractFullDetails` on |

Minimal input for each mode. Add `"extractFullDetails": true` to any of them for full rows.

### 📦 Output: BlueLionJob jobs data

A real row (shortened; empty fields left out):

```json
{
  "recordType": "job",
  "source": "bluelionjob",
  "id": "29657",
  "url": "https://www.bluelionjob.com/job-offer/get/network_erp__it_emea_ltd_solutions_architect_hamburg_3178f",
  "title": "Solutions Architect",
  "company": {"id": "23", "name": "Network ERP & IT (EMEA) Ltd", "url": "https://www.networkemea.com", "profileUrl": "https://www.bluelionjob.com/company/details/network_erp__it_emea_ltd__3054e", "address": "Castlebridge 2 3rd Floor, CF11 9AB Cardiff, United Kingdom", "activeOffersCount": 13},
  "locations": [{"city": "Hamburg", "region": "Hamburg", "countryCode": "DE", "latitude": 53.550341, "longitude": 10.000654}],
  "workType": [{"type": "hybrid"}],
  "categories": [{"value": "backend", "original": "backend"}],
  "experience": {"levels": [{"value": "expert", "original": "Expert", "source": "portal"}]},
  "contractTypes": [{"value": "b2b", "original": "B2B contract", "source": "portal"}],
  "workTime": "full-time",
  "salaries": [
    {"contractType": "employment", "currency": "EUR", "grossNet": "gross", "min": 8333, "max": 8333, "period": "month", "isOriginal": false},
    {"contractType": "employment", "currency": "EUR", "grossNet": "gross", "min": 100000, "max": 100000, "period": "year", "isOriginal": true}
  ],
  "skills": [{"name": "Java", "source": "portal"}, {"name": "PHP", "source": "portal"}, {"name": "Python", "source": "portal"}],
  "description": {"text": "…", "html": "…"},
  "dates": {"posted": "2026-09-17", "scraped": "2026-10-17T12:03:26Z"}
}
```

Missing data is `null`, never a guess.

**Where the fields come from.**

- `title`, `company.name`, `url`, `skills`, `contractTypes`, `experience`, `workType`, `dates.posted` and `salaries` (monthly figure first, then the original period) come with every offer.
- `description` (text and HTML) comes with `extractFullDetails` on, or for an offer URL.
- `locations`: city, region, country and coordinates for offers that name a city.
- `company.profileUrl` and `extensions.companyTaxId` come with `extractFullDetails` on or off.
- With `extractFullDetails` on, the company's record adds `company.url`, `company.address`, `company.history` and `company.activeOffersCount`, one extra request per company per run.

**Run status.** After each run, open the run's key-value store (Storage tab) to see how it went:

- **`RUN_HEALTH`**: `ok`, or `degraded` with the reason (no rows, a failed request, a warning, or a row that broke a data rule).
- **`RUN_SUMMARY`**: the run's numbers: rows, requests, retries, failed requests, warnings and billed events.

### 💰 Pricing (Pay-Per-Event)

| Event | Price | Trigger |
| --- | --- | --- |
| Result row (`job-scraped`) | $0.0004 (= $0.40 / 1,000) | Per offer returned |
| Details row (`job-details-scraped`) | +$0.0015 (= +$1.50 / 1,000) | Per offer delivered with full details (`extractFullDetails` on, or an offer URL) |

No start fee: a run costs only the rows it returns. Diagnostic rows are never billed. With `extractFullDetails` off, 1,000 offers = $0.40. With it on (or for an offer URL), 1,000 offers = $1.90. Each company adds one request to the run.

### 🎯 Use cases

- Track new IT openings in Poland and abroad on a daily schedule.
- Feed a job board, a newsletter or a personal job-search dashboard.
- Compare pay by technology, seniority, contract and city, with salaries on one monthly scale.
- Market research: which companies hire, for which skills and at what level.
- Lead lists of hiring IT companies.
- Run the same pipeline over several job portals, since they share one schema.

### ❓ FAQ

#### How many offers can I get?

As many as `maxResults` says (`0` = no limit). The portal lists about 2,500 active offers.

#### How do I export BlueLionJob jobs to Excel or CSV?

Run the actor, open the Output tab and pick Excel or CSV in the export options. JSON, XML and HTML are there too, and the Apify API returns the same data.

#### How do I get BlueLionJob salary data?

Every offer row has a `salaries` list with `min`, `max`, `currency`, `period`, `contractType` and `grossNet`. Turn on `withSalaryOnly` to get only offers that show pay.

#### What is the monthly salary?

Each pay range starts with a monthly item (`period` "month"). If the offer gives pay per hour, day or year, we compute it: hour × 168, day × 21, year / 12, rounded to a whole unit. The offer's own figures follow it with `isOriginal` true.

#### Can I combine it with other portals?

Yes. All our job actors share one output schema and one input schema, so rows from different portals fit one table. See the list below.

# Changelog

This Actor's version history is a separate document: https://apify.com/datawatcher/bluelionjob-scraper/changelog.md

# Actor input Schema

## `maxResults` (type: `integer`):

Maximum number of offers returned, in total. 0 = no limit (the run timeout still applies).

## `startUrls` (type: `array`):

URLs from which the actor starts scraping, instead of a search: a listing/search URL is read as that listing, a specific offer URL is read directly. locations, categories, contractTypes, workType, experience and withSalaryOnly still apply: rows that do not match are dropped. searchQueries is not applied (a warning says so).

## `searchQueries` (type: `array`):

Keywords to search for, one search per line (a technology or a job title). Empty - every offer.

## `locations` (type: `array`):

Only offers in these cities, written as normal city names; accents and case do not matter (Krakow = Kraków = KRAKÓW). A city the portal does not know gives a warning and no search for it, never an unfiltered search. Empty - anywhere.

## `categories` (type: `array`):

Only offers in these categories (the output's `categories[].value` values). Empty - all.

## `contractTypes` (type: `array`):

Only offers that allow one of these contracts (the output's `contractTypes` values). Empty - all.

## `workType` (type: `array`):

Only offers with one of these work types (the output's `workType[].type` values). Empty - all.

## `experience` (type: `array`):

Only offers for these experience levels (the output's `experience.levels[].value` values). Empty - all.

## `withSalaryOnly` (type: `boolean`):

Only offers that show a salary (the output's `salaries` is not empty). Off - all offers.

## `extractFullDetails` (type: `boolean`):

Fetch each offer's own page (and its company once per run) and return the full data: the description, skills, benefits, languages, company details. Off - listing-level data only, cheaper and faster. An offer start URL is always read. A filter whose field the listing lacks still reads that offer's page to decide.

## `maxConcurrency` (type: `integer`):

Maximum number of searches/details processed in parallel.

## `maxRequestsPerMinute` (type: `integer`):

Maximum HTTP request rate, for the whole run.

## `proxyConfiguration` (type: `object`):

Proxy settings, especially useful when many detail pages are requested.

## `maxRequestRetries` (type: `integer`):

Number of retries after a failed HTTP request.

## Actor input object example

```json
{
  "maxResults": 50,
  "searchQueries": [
    "python"
