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): ```bash pip install apify-client ``` In shell scripts, use [Apify CLI](https://docs.apify.com/cli/docs.md): ````bash # MacOS / Linux curl -fsSL https://apify.com/install-cli.sh | bash # Windows irm https://apify.com/install-cli.ps1 | iex ```bash In AI frameworks, you might use the [Apify MCP server](https://docs.apify.com/platform/integrations/mcp.md). If your project is in a different language, use the [REST API](https://docs.apify.com/api/v2.md). For usage examples, see the [API](#api) section below. For more details, see Apify documentation as [Markdown index](https://docs.apify.com/llms.txt) and [Markdown full-text](https://docs.apify.com/llms-full.txt). # README ![ParseForge Banner](https://github.com/ParseForge/apify-assets/blob/ad35ccc13ddd068b9d6cba33f323962e39aed5b2/banner.jpg?raw=true) ## ๐Ÿ’ป DEV.BG Bulgarian IT Jobs Scraper > ๐Ÿš€ **Export Bulgarian IT and developer job listings from DEV.BG in seconds.** Job title, company, company logo, location, tech stack, posting date, and direct apply URL - straight to CSV, Excel, JSON, or XML. > ๐Ÿ•’ **Last updated:** 2026-05-26 ยท **๐Ÿ“Š 10 fields** per record ยท **Largest Bulgarian IT job board** ยท **All seniorities and stacks** The DEV.BG Bulgarian Jobs Scraper turns the public [DEV.BG](https://dev.bg) job board - the de-facto recruitment platform for Bulgarian IT - into a clean, structured dataset. It fetches the public listings, parses each job card, and extracts the company, role, location, and tech stack of every position. Coverage spans Backend, Frontend, Full-Stack, Mobile, QA, DevOps, Data, ML, Embedded, System / Network, UX/UI, PM/BA, Game Dev, Tech Support, and more. | ๐ŸŽฏ Target Audience | ๐Ÿ’ก Primary Use Cases | |---|---| | ๐Ÿง‘โ€๐Ÿ’ป Bulgarian developers | Track active openings across the local IT market | | ๐Ÿข Recruiters / agencies | Pipeline of who's hiring, what stacks, what seniorities | | ๐Ÿ“Š Market researchers | Compare hiring trends across stacks (Java vs Python vs Go) | | ๐Ÿ’ผ HR / employer branding | Benchmark how competitors describe roles | | ๐Ÿค– AI / ML teams | Build a Bulgarian IT job corpus for LLM applications | | ๐ŸŽ“ Career advisors | Recommend in-demand stacks to students | ### ๐Ÿ“‹ What the DEV.BG Bulgarian Jobs Scraper does - Fetches the DEV.BG public job board (search or category page). - Parses every job card in the listing. - Flattens each role into a 10-field record with `companyLogo` first and `error` last. - Paginates through the result set until `maxItems` is reached. - Exports as CSV, Excel, JSON, JSONL, XML, RSS, or HTML. > ๐Ÿ’ก **Why it matters:** DEV.BG does not publish an official partner API. This actor uses the public HTML listings, so the data you get is exactly what a job-seeker sees in their browser. ### ๐ŸŽฌ Full Demo _๐Ÿšง Coming soon._ ### โš™๏ธ Input
