## 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.

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).

- **Company**: name, website, logo URL, company profile URL on kariera.gr, industry/sector, employee size range, active open job count
- **Location**: city, periphery (region), prefecture, country code GR
- **Compensation**: salary range in EUR, pay period (monthly/annual)
- **Job details**: employment type (Full-time/Part-time/Internship/Contract/Seasonal), workplace type (Remote/Hybrid/On-site)

- Recruiting tools: aggregate Greek IT, finance, and healthcare job postings
- Academic research: Greek labor market trends and regional employment patterns
- Expansion planning: identify active employers before entering the Greek market

### Pricing

This actor uses Pay-Per-Event (PPE) pricing:

| Event | Cost |
|---|---|
| Actor start | $0.001 |
| SERP result (job card data) | $0.003 |
| Full job detail (description + all fields) | $0.005 |

**$5 free monthly credit** is included with every Apify account: enough for roughly 1,000 SERP results or 500 full detail fetches per month.

kariera.gr serves all job data (including full descriptions) on the search results page. Set `includeJobDetails: true` to charge at the detail rate and receive descriptions. Set `includeJobDetails: false` for fast bulk collection at the lower per-event rate.

### Input

```json
{
  "searchQueries": ["προγραμματιστής", "λογιστής", "developer"],
  "location": "Αθήνα",
  "includeJobDetails": true,
  "maxResults": 100
}
```

| Field | Type | Description |
|---|---|---|
| `searchQueries` | string\[] | Greek or English job keywords. Examples: `προγραμματιστής`, `λογιστής`, `developer`, `manager` |
| `searchUrls` | string\[] | Direct kariera.gr search URLs (preserves all active filters) |
| `location` | string | Greek city or periphery filter: `Αθήνα`, `Θεσσαλονίκη`, `Athens`, `Thessaloniki`, `Πάτρα` |
| `includeJobDetails` | boolean | Include full description (HTML, plain text, Markdown). Data is from SERP; flag controls PPE rate only (default: true) |
| `includeCompanyDetails` | boolean | Include company logo URL and website (default: false) |
| `sortBy` | enum | Sort order. Kariera.gr does not expose a server-side sort control — unknown `?sort=` values are silently stripped and the SERP is date-descending native. This field is present for fleet consistency; the sole supported value is `newest` (default: `newest`) |
| `maxResults` | integer | Total results cap (default: 100, max: 5000) |
| `maxResultsPerQuery` | integer | Cap per keyword (default: 100) |
| `maxConcurrency` | integer | Max concurrent requests 1-20 (default: 5) |

### Greek market coverage

kariera.gr covers all 13 Greek peripheries:

- **Αττική** (Attica): Athens, Piraeus, the largest job market (~50% of listings)
- **Κεντρική Μακεδονία** (Central Macedonia): Thessaloniki, the second-largest hub
- **Θεσσαλία** (Thessaly): Larissa, Volos
- **Δυτική Ελλάδα** (Western Greece): Patras
- **Κρήτη** (Crete): Heraklion, Chania
- **Ηπειρος** (Epirus): Ioannina
- **Πελοπόννησος** (Peloponnese): Tripoli, Kalamata
- **Ανατολική Μακεδονία και Θράκη** (Eastern Macedonia and Thrace): Xanthi, Drama
- **Δυτική Μακεδονία** (Western Macedonia): Kozani
- **Ιόνιοι Νήσοι** (Ionian Islands): Corfu, Kefalonia
- **Βόρειο Αιγαίο** (North Aegean): Lesvos, Chios
- **Νότιο Αιγαίο** (South Aegean): Rhodes, Mykonos, Santorini
- **Στερεά Ελλάδα** (Central Greece): Lamia, Chalkis

The `region` field returns the Greek periphery name in Greek script. The `prefecture` field returns the nomos (prefecture) name.

### Why this scraper

- **HTTP-only Go binary**: no browser overhead, 128 MB RAM, runs fast
- **Greek script handling**: UTF-8 throughout, no charset conversion needed
- **RSC payload extraction**: reads Next.js RSC streaming data directly without JavaScript execution
- **Full descriptions inline**: kariera.gr serves all job data including full HTML descriptions on the search results page
- **Newest-first ordering**: kariera.gr's SERP is date-descending native (no server-side sort control exposed); `sortBy="newest"` is the sole supported value
- **Precise PPE billing**: each job charged once, no duplicate charges
- **50 jobs per SERP page**: efficient pagination up to 100 pages (5,000+ listings)

### Common use cases

**IT jobs in Athens**

```json
{
  "searchQueries": ["developer", "software engineer", "DevOps"],
  "location": "Athens",
  "includeJobDetails": true,
  "maxResults": 200
}
```

**Finance jobs across Greece**

```json
{
  "searchQueries": ["λογιστής", "οικονομολόγος", "CFO"],
  "includeJobDetails": true,
  "maxResults": 500
}
```

**All active listings for a specific company**

```json
{
  "searchUrls": ["https://www.kariera.gr/jobs?q=&company=manpowergroup-greece"],
  "includeJobDetails": true
}
```

### Notes and limits

- kariera.gr serves 50 jobs per SERP page, up to 100 pages per query (5,000+ results)
- Descriptions are delivered inline on the SERP page; no separate detail page fetch is required
- Some jobs may not have a full description (shortDescription used as fallback)
- Salary data is available when employers choose to disclose it (~3% of listings)
- The `apply_url` field contains external ATS URLs (Workable, LinkedIn, company careers pages)
- Greek text appears natively in UTF-8; no encoding conversion is needed
- `company_profile_url` is null when the employer hides their kariera.gr company profile
- `required_languages` is sourced from kariera.gr's structured language field. In practice, Greek employers almost never populate this field; language requirements appear in the job description text instead
- `tags` are employer-added keyword strings for SEO (~82% of listings have at least one tag). Each tag is a comma-separated string of related search terms
- `salary_min` / `salary_max` are null for the majority of Greek jobs; Greek labour market convention is not to disclose salary in job postings
- `image_url` is null for most listings; only Premium employers upload a job banner image (~26% fill)
- `reference_id` is null for most listings; populated only when the employer provides an internal job code
