Features

This actor is a robust production-grade solution suitable for businesses and those that need reliability.

• 7 kinds of datasets

  • Scrape details of job offers, companies, industries, locations, professions, languages or partners.

• Fast or Detailed modes

  • Scraping can be fast (data taken from listing page only) or detailed (visit each job offer page).

• Filter support

  • Filter the results by Keyword(s) (full-text search), Minimum salary (per month / per hour), Employment type (full-time, part-time, freelance, internship, voluntary), Remote status (remote, partial, on-site) or Job offer age (in days).
  • Limit the number of results.

• Blazing fast

  • The actor doesn't use a browser, which means it's fast and cheap.

• Proxy support

  • You can use Apify's proxy, or your own, via Input.

• Integrated data filtering and transformation

  • Filter and modify scraped entries out of the box from within Apify UI, without needing other tools.

• Integrated cache

  • You can use cache together with custom filtering to e.g. save only NEW entries to the dataset. Save time and reduce cost.
  • Cache automatically stores which entries were already scraped. Cache can persist between different scraper runs.

• Custom crawler configuration

  • For advanced needs, you can pass Crawler configuration via Input.

• Tested daily for high reliability

  • The actor is regularly tested end-to-end to minimize the risk of a broken integration.

• Privacy-compliant (GDPR)

  • By default, personal data is redacted to avoid privacy issues. You can opt-in to include un-censored data.

• Pass scraped dataset to other actors

  • Automatically trigger another actor when this one is done to process the scraped dataset.
  • Metamorphing means that the dataset and key-value store is passed to another actor.
  • Actor metamorph can be configure via actor input. No need to define custom actors just for that.

• Error monitoring

  • Errors from your runs are captured and surfaced in the REPORTING dataset. (See Storage > Dataset > Select dropdown).
  • Errors are also automatically reported to Sentry.

Is it legal to scrape Profesia.sk?

It is legal to scrape publicly available data such as product descriptions, prices, or ratings. Read Apify's blog post on the legality of web scraping to learn more.

However, the following datasets include personal data:

• Job offers dataset includes info about employees.
  • Fields: employerContact, phoneNumbers
  • By default, this personal data is redacted, and in such case, it's safe to scrape the data.

To get the unredacted data, toggle on the "Include personal data" actor input.

Warning: Including personal data is done at your own risk. It is your responsibility to make sure you have obtained consent or have a legal basis for using the data.

By using this actor, you agree not to hold the author of this actor liable for privacy or data-related issues that may arise during its use.

Redacted fields may show a message like this instead of the actual value:

<Redacted property "email". To include the actual value, toggle ON the Actor input option "Include personal data">
