## 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

## Prace.cz Scraper: Czech Republic Jobs, Salaries and Employers

Extract job listings from [Prace.cz](https://www.prace.cz) (prace.cz), Czech Republic's largest generalist job board, part of the AlmaCareer group. Covers all job types, regions, and sectors across the Czech Republic, from full employment contracts to part-time and freelance work.

No login required. No captcha. HTTP-only, no browser under the hood.

### What it does

Pulls live job listings from Prace.cz by keyword, location, and contract type. Results include Czech-specific fields: administrative region, district, contract type in Czech (Hlavni pracovni pomer / Prace na dohodu / Zivnostensky list), working hours, and CZK salary where disclosed. Full job description is available via the JSON-LD JobPosting schema embedded in each detail page.

Filter by:

- **Keywords**: job title, skill, or profession in Czech (e.g. "programator", "ucetni", "obchodni zastupce")
- **Location**: Czech city (e.g. "Praha", "Brno", "Ostrava", "Plzen")
- **Contract type**: Hlavni pracovni pomer, Prace na dohodu, Zivnostensky list
- **Remote only**: return only remote-eligible positions
