## 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

## Pracuj.pl Jobs Scraper

Scrape **Pracuj.pl jobs** from [pracuj.pl](https://www.pracuj.pl), a Polish job board, and get clean data as JSON, CSV or Excel: **salaries** (also per month), **skills**, experience levels, contract types, work types, locations and company. IT and non-IT roles. No login, no browser, and you can run it from the Apify **API** too.

### 🔎 What does Pracuj.pl Jobs Scraper do?

- Searches pracuj.pl by keywords, cities, categories, work type, experience level, contract type and "with salary only", or reads any listing or offer URL you paste.
- Returns one row per offer. With `extractFullDetails` on, each offer's own page is read too: full description, skills, benefits, languages and company profile.

### ⭐ 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), [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), [BlueLionJob](https://apify.com/datawatcher/bluelionjob-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.

- **Low price, no start fee.** $0.40 per 1,000 offers; the median pracuj.pl scraper charges $2.00, and 22 of 25 add a start fee. You pay only for rows you get.
- **Salaries per month, plus the employer's own figures.** Each pay range starts with a monthly entry; a pay per hour also keeps the employer's own figures as a second entry (`isOriginal` true). Each entry has `min`, `max`, `currency`, `period`, `contractType` and `grossNet`.
- **Skills, levels and categories.** Skills come with a must-have flag; IT offers carry a normalised category (`backend`, `data`, `devops`...) and every offer keeps the portal's own category wording.
- **Filters buyers ask for:** search words, locations, categories, work type, experience level, contract type and "with salary only". Or paste any pracuj.pl listing or offer URL.
- **Company data:** employer name and profile link on every offer; logo (when the employer has one) and address with `extractFullDetails` on.
- **Honest runs:** a run summary and a health status. A search that fails writes an unbilled diagnostic row.

### 🚀 How to scrape Pracuj.pl jobs

1. Open the actor on Apify and click **Try for free**.
2. Fill in keywords, cities and filters, or paste a pracuj.pl listing or offer URL into `startUrls`.
3. Click **Start**.
4. Download the **Pracuj.pl 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 pracuj.pl; trademarks belong to their owners. It reads only public job pages: no login, no recruiter accounts. You are responsible for following pracuj.pl'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 Pracuj.pl Jobs Scraper to find mid or senior Python offers in Warsaw, remote or hybrid, that show a salary. Show the 10 best-paid, with company, salary, period 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 offers in Warsaw, B2B or employment, remote or hybrid, mid or senior, with full details:

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

| Field | Default | Notes |
| --- | --- | --- |
| `maxResults` | `50` | Offers in total. `0` = no limit (the run timeout still applies) |
| `startUrls` | – | pracuj.pl listing pages (`https://www.pracuj.pl/praca`) or offer pages (`https://www.pracuj.pl/praca/...,oferta,1005134181`). A listing URL is read as that listing; an offer URL is always read from its own page. With URLs, the actor keeps the rows that match `locations`, `categories`, `contractTypes`, `workType`, `experience` and `withSalaryOnly` (keywords belong to the URL's own search) |
| `searchQueries` | – | Keywords, one search per line (a technology or a job title). Empty: every offer. Each search runs once per location |
| `locations` | – | City names; accents and case do not matter (Krakow = Kraków = KRAKÓW). Empty: anywhere |
| `categories` | – | IT specializations: `backend`, `frontend`, `fullstack`, `mobile`, `devops`, `data`, `ai-ml`, `testing`, `security`, `it-admin`, `support`, `embedded`, `gamedev`, `erp`, `architecture`, `project-management`, `product`, `ux-ui`, `business-analysis` |
| `contractTypes` | – | `employment`, `b2b`, `mandate`, `specific-task`, `internship` |
| `workType` | – | `remote`, `hybrid`, `onsite`, `mobile` |
| `experience` | – | `intern`, `junior`, `mid`, `senior`, `expert`, `manager`, `executive` |
| `withSalaryOnly` | `false` | Only offers that show a salary |
| `extractFullDetails` | `false` | Off: listing-level rows, cheaper and faster. On: each offer's own page (and its company, once per run) is read for the description, skills, benefits, languages and company details. An offer URL is always read in full |
| `maxConcurrency` | `1` | Searches and detail pages processed in parallel |
| `maxRequestsPerMinute` | `60` | Request rate for the whole run |
| `proxyConfiguration` | off | Apify Proxy settings, useful when many detail pages are requested |
| `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) | Offers from the default listing, up to `maxResults` | Only with `extractFullDetails` on |
| 🔤 **2. Keyword search** | `searchQueries` | One search per keyword | Only with `extractFullDetails` on |
| 🎛️ **3. Filtered search** | one or more filters, keywords optional | Offers matching the filters | Only with `extractFullDetails` on |
| 🔗 **4. Listing / search URL** | `startUrls` with a listing URL | That listing, as the site shows it | Only with `extractFullDetails` on |
| 📄 **5. One offer URL** | `startUrls` with an offer URL | That one offer | Always (a full row either way) |
| 🧩 **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 (real inputs from our test runs). Add `"extractFullDetails": true` to any of them for full rows.

#### 🟢 1. Default search

```json
{"maxResults": 3}
```

#### 🔤 2. Keyword search

```json
{"searchQueries": ["python"], "maxResults": 3}
```

#### 🎛️ 3. Filtered search

```json
{"searchQueries": ["python"], "locations": ["Warszawa"], "contractTypes": ["b2b", "employment"], "workType": ["remote", "hybrid"], "experience": ["mid", "senior"], "maxResults": 3}
```

#### 🔗 4. Listing / search URL

```json
{"startUrls": [{"url": "https://www.pracuj.pl/praca"}], "maxResults": 3}
```

#### 📄 5. One offer URL

```json
{"startUrls": [{"url": "https://www.pracuj.pl/praca/mid-level-java-developer-adobe-experience-manager-aem-specialist-krakow,oferta,1005134181"}]}
```

#### 🧩 6. URLs + filters

```json
{"startUrls": [{"url": "https://www.pracuj.pl/praca"}, {"url": "https://www.pracuj.pl/praca/mid-level-java-developer-adobe-experience-manager-aem-specialist-krakow,oferta,1005134181"}], "withSalaryOnly": true, "maxResults": 3}
```

Turn on `extractFullDetails` to get full rows for everything that matches.

Missing data is `null`, never a guess.

**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 whose own page was read (`extractFullDetails` on, or an offer URL) |

No start fee: a run costs only the rows it returns. Diagnostic rows are never billed. Example: 1,000 offers with details = $0.40 + $1.50 = $1.90.

### 🎯 Use cases

- Track new openings for a role, stack or industry on a daily schedule.
- Feed a job board aggregator or a personal job-search dashboard.
- Compare pay by contract type, city and experience level.
- Market research: which skills and seniority levels are in demand, in IT and beyond.
- Lead lists of hiring companies.
- Run the same pipeline over several Polish job portals, since they share one schema.

### ❓ FAQ

#### How many offers can I get?

As many as `maxResults` says (`0` = no limit). For a bigger slice, split it by city, category or filter and run several searches.

#### How do I export Pracuj.pl jobs to Excel or CSV?

Run the actor, open the Output tab and pick Excel or CSV in the export options. The Apify API returns the same data.

#### How do I get Pracuj.pl 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 employer gives pay per hour, we compute it: hour × 168, rounded to a whole unit. The employer'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/pracuj-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.
