## What's an Apify Actor?

Actors are a software tools running on the Apify platform, for all kinds of web data extraction and automation use cases.
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.

In JavaScript/TypeScript projects, use official [JavaScript/TypeScript client](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/js.md):

```bash
npm install apify-client
```

In Python projects, use official [Python client library](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/python.md):

## JobKarov Scraper: Israel Location Jobs and B2B Leads

**JobKarov scraper and location-based Israeli recruitment data extraction API.** Extract public job listings, company names, full description text, required skills, precise decimal GPS coordinates, and direct recruiter contact details from jobkarov.com with this Apify Actor. Bypasses blocking without browser overhead using fast, static Cheerio code, delivering clean structured datasets in Hebrew right-to-left format.

Whether you are a recruiter tracking general openings across Israel, an HR analytics platform benchmarking salary scales, or a B2B sales development team sourcing growing businesses, this Actor delivers complete recruitment data on a scheduled basis.

---

### What does JobKarov Scraper do?

- **Highly Optimized Performance:** Connects directly to the static search and detailed job pages, avoiding the overhead of browser-based automation like Playwright or Puppeteer.
- **B2B Contact Lead Extraction:** Automatically runs deep regex scanners over job text blocks to extract direct recruiter emails and Israeli telephone lines.
- **Geographical Location Intelligence:** Extracts exact decimal GPS coordinates (latitude and longitude) and city districts, enabling mapping, spatial lead generation, and localization.
- **Tabular Dataset Formatting:** Integrates all data (including descriptions and requirements) directly into clean plain-text columns, removing HTML tags and decoding percent-encodings.

---

### Why use JobKarov Scraper?

2. **Benchmark Local Compensation:** Extract salary ranges by category and district to track the Israeli job market.

### How Much Does It Cost to Scrape JobKarov?

**$1.49 per 1,000 results.**

We offer the **best value at an affordable price**, providing comprehensive location-based Israeli recruitment data at a lower price point than specialized competitors. Because the platform loads listings natively via server-side rendered HTML, there is zero headless browser overhead or expensive residential proxy data transfer fees.

***

### Advanced Options & Tips

- **Fast Listing Extractor:** The crawler parses the entire list of job cards directly from the embedded script on the search listings page. This means you get full descriptions and requirements without having to load separate detail pages.
- **Low Concurrency:** Keep concurrency restricted to a modest `maxConcurrency: 10` to remain respectful of the backend server.

***

### FAQ (Frequently Asked Questions)

#### How does this scraper bypass bot protections?

JobKarov does not utilize active client-side challenge walls like Radware or PerimeterX. However, it enforces a strict geographic fence that blocks all non-Israeli connections. Our scraper handles this by automatically routing requests through Israel-based premium residential proxies.

#### Do I need a login or API Key?

No. All JobKarov vacancy listings are fully public and require no authentication or cookies to read.

#### Why is the company name confidential on some jobs?

To protect client databases from competitor poachers, some agencies and employers choose to list vacancies anonymously. In those instances, the `companyName` field is populated with the standard Hebrew confidentiality label `"חברה חסויה"`.
