## 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.

# README

## Work.ua Scraper — Ukraine Vacancies, Salary & Firms

Export vacancies from **Work.ua**, Ukraine's largest job board — employer, location, advertised salary and ad link — to JSON, CSV or Excel. Keyless, no login.

### What does Work.ua Scraper do?

Work.ua serves plain server-rendered HTML with no JSON API behind it, so this Actor parses the listing cards directly and walks the pagination until your target is met. No API key, no account, no cookies.

The card layout is the reason most Work.ua scrapers ship dirty data: the employer name and the salary use the **same CSS class**, and the location line ends with either a city or a "8.8 km from center" distance chip. Pick "the first matching element" and every ad that advertises pay lands its salary in the company column. This Actor anchors on the icon inside each block — hryvnia for salary, company for employer — so the two never swap, and it splits the distance chip into its own field instead of passing it off as a city.

Salaries are written with thin-space separators (`60 000 – 80 000 UAH`). The Actor keeps the original label **and** derives a sortable numeric floor, so you can filter by pay without parsing strings yourself.

### Who is it for?

- **Recruitment agencies** tracking who is hiring in Ukraine and at what rate.
- **Salary researchers** building pay benchmarks by role and city.
- **B2B sales teams** using hiring activity as a growth signal.
- **Job boards and aggregators** that need a Ukrainian feed.
- **Relocation and remote-work platforms** sourcing roles open to remote candidates.

### Use cases

- Build a salary benchmark for drivers or developers across Kyiv, Lviv and Poltava.
- List every verified employer currently hiring in a category, with ad links.
- Track how many vacancies offer deferment, week over week.
- Filter to ads that publish pay and rank them by advertised floor.
- Feed a niche board with fresh Ukrainian listings.

### Why use this Actor?

- **Keyless** — nothing to sign up for.
- **20 structured fields**, with salary, employer and location cleanly separated.
- **Sortable salary** — original label plus a numeric floor.
- **Verified-employer flag** straight from Work.ua's own badge.
- **Hot and deferment flags**, useful signals in the current Ukrainian market.
- **English or Ukrainian** interface language.

### What data can you extract?

| Field | Type | Description |
|---|---|---|
| `jobId` | string | Work.ua vacancy ID |
| `title` | string | Job title |
| `jobUrl` | string | Public ad page |
| `employerName` | string | Employer name |
| `employerType` | string | Employer type, e.g. Agency |
| `employerVerified` | boolean | Work.ua verified identity |
| `employerLogoUrl` | string | Employer logo |
| `location` | string | City or "Remote" |
| `salaryLabel` | string | Salary exactly as advertised |
| `salaryNote` | string | Work.ua's own note, e.g. "Above average" |
| `salaryFrom` | number | Numeric floor for sorting and filtering |
| `distanceFromCentre` | string | Distance chip, when the ad shows one |
| `currency` | string | UAH when a salary is present |
| `isHot` | boolean | Marked as a hot vacancy |
| `hasDeferment` | boolean | Employer offers deferment |
| `badges` | string | All badges on the card |
| `postedLabel` | string | Posting date as shown |
| `country` | string | Ukraine |
| `source` | string | Always `work_ua` |
| `scrapedAt` | string | Run timestamp (ISO 8601) |

#### Example output

```json
{
  "jobId": "8240196",
  "title": "Водій категорії СЕ",
  "jobUrl": "https://www.work.ua/en/jobs/8240196/",
  "employerName": "Арія Транс",
  "employerVerified": true,
  "location": "Kyiv",
  "salaryLabel": "40 000 – 60 000 UAH",
  "salaryNote": "Above average",
  "salaryFrom": 40000,
  "distanceFromCentre": "8.8 km from center",
  "currency": "UAH",
  "hasDeferment": true,
  "country": "Ukraine",
  "source": "work_ua"
}
```

### How to use it

1. Enter a keyword, or leave it empty to walk the full listing.
2. Optionally narrow by category slug, city ID or minimum salary.
3. Switch on **Only ads with a salary** when you are building a pay benchmark.
4. Set **Maximum results** and run, then export JSON, CSV or Excel.

### Input example

```json
{
  "query": "driver",
  "withSalaryOnly": true,
  "maxResults": 1000
}
```

### Notes and limits

- Roughly **7 in 10** vacancies publish a salary. The rest leave `salaryLabel`, `salaryFrom` and `currency` as `null` — that is the ad, not a parsing gap. Use **Only ads with a salary** to drop them.
- `distanceFromCentre` appears only on ads that show a distance chip; it is deliberately kept out of the `location` column.
- Work.ua renders 14 cards per page; the Actor stops when a page returns fewer, meaning the listing is exhausted.
- Listing text is in Ukrainian even with the English interface, because employers write the ads.
- You are responsible for how you use employer data, including under GDPR.

### FAQ

**Do I need a Work.ua account?**
No. The listings are public and this Actor needs nothing from you.

**Is the salary usable for sorting?**
Yes. `salaryFrom` is a real number derived from the advertised range's lower bound.

**Why is `location` sometimes "Remote"?**
Because the employer listed the role as remote; Work.ua shows that in place of a city.

**Does it fetch the full job description?**
No. This Actor exports the listing cards, which is what makes bulk runs fast and cheap. Open `jobUrl` for the full text.

**How am I charged?**
Pay per result — you pay for the vacancies delivered.

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).
