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). # README ## Profesia.sk Scraper: Slovakia Jobs, Salaries and Employers Extract job listings from [Profesia.sk](https://www.profesia.sk) (profesia.sk), Slovakia's largest generalist job board with over 20,000 active listings and 4 million monthly visitors. Covers all job types, regions, and sectors across Slovakia. No login required. No captcha. HTTP-only, no browser under the hood. ### What it does Pulls live job listings from Profesia.sk. Results include Slovak-specific fields: region (kraj - 8 Slovak administrative regions), employment type in Slovak (plny uvazok / skrateny uvazok / dohoda / brigada), workplace type (on-site / hybrid / remote), EUR salary where disclosed, company profile URL for each employer with a Profesia.sk profile, and a company-info section with company about text, employee count, contact person, and apply URL. Results are sorted newest-first by default. Use `searchUrls` to scrape a specific Profesia.sk search result URL, or `startUrls` for direct job page URLs. Use `searchQueries` to search by keyword across all of Slovakia. Filter by: - **Search URLs**: paste any Profesia.sk search result URL directly - **Job detail URLs**: scrape specific listings by URL - **Keywords**: programator, uctovnik, obchodny zastupca, logistik, etc. - **Location**: filter by Slovak city or kraj (Bratislava, Kosice, Zilina, Nitra, Presov) ### Sample output ```json { "_type": "job", "id": "5351509", "title": "Internship opportunity for students: Automation Engineer Trainee", "job_url": "https://www.profesia.sk/praca/zurich-insurance-company-ltd-organizacna-zlozka/O5351509", "source_url": "https://www.profesia.sk/praca/zurich-insurance-company-ltd-organizacna-zlozka/O5351509", "source_platform": "profesia.sk", "company_name": "Zurich Insurance Company Ltd, organizačná zložka", "company_website": null, "company_logo_url": "https://public.profesia.sk/companies/29794/company_logo/10761/cropped.png?t=1753085491", "company_profile_url": "https://www.profesia.sk/praca/zurich-insurance-company-ltd-organizacna-zlozka/O5351509", "company_about": "Zurich is a leading multi-line insurer that serves its customers in global and local markets.

This actor uses lean Go HTTP — no browser launch, no Playwright, no Puppeteer — which means lower cost, faster runs, and no memory spikes. It covers all 8 Slovak administrative regions (kraje), correctly handles Slovak salary format (EUR/mesiac), surfaces the Profesia.sk company profile URL for each employer, and extracts the full company-info section including contact person and apply URL type — enabling employer-level aggregation and B2B lead generation. ### MCP (AI assistant integration) ```json { "mcpServers": { "apify": { "command": "npx", "args": ["-y", "@apify/actor-mcp-server"], "env": { "ACTOR_ID": "nanoscrape/profesia-sk-scraper" } } } } ``` ### Common use cases - **Salary benchmarking**: collect EUR salary data across Slovak industries and regions - **Labour market research**: track job posting volumes, employer hiring activity in Slovakia - **Recruitment pipeline**: daily sync of new postings matching your search criteria (newest-first ordering) - **Competitor intelligence**: monitor which companies are hiring in specific Slovak cities - **HR analytics**: aggregate employment types and regions for workforce planning - **B2B lead generation**: use `company_profile_url`, `contact_person`, and `company_about` to identify and research actively hiring Slovak companies ### Notes and limits - Profesia.sk loads job listings server-side — no JavaScript execution required - Pages return 20 results each; pagination is handled automatically up to 50 pages per query - No rate-limiting observed on normal crawl speeds (sub-1 req/s with built-in delay) - Salary is not always disclosed; `salary_min`/`salary_max` will be `null` when absent - `company_logo_url` uses the `img.logo-offer` selector on detail pages and `img.toplogo` on SERP cards; present on most employer profiles with an uploaded logo - `company_about`, `company_employee_count`, `contact_person`, `contact_person_phone`, `contact_email_type` are only populated when `includeJobDetails=true` and the employer has filled in the company-info section - `sortBy="newest"` sorts results after collection (Profesia.sk's public URL only exposes relevance-based ordering; newest sort is applied client-side post-collection) - Slovak diacritics (accentuated characters) are preserved in all text fields ### Related Actors **Job aggregation** - [Job Feed](https://apify.com/santamaria-automations/job-feed) - Unified job feed combining multiple European and global sources into one normalized stream **Career site scrapers** - [Career Site Jobs Scraper](https://apify.com/santamaria-automations/career-site-jobs-scraper) - Extract jobs from any company career page - [Website Job Extractor](https://apify.com/santamaria-automations/website-job-extractor) - Generic job extraction from any website **General job boards** - [Indeed Scraper](https://apify.com/santamaria-automations/indeed-camoufox-scraper) - Indeed global listings including Slovakia - [CV Library Scraper](https://apify.com/santamaria-automations/cvlibrary-scraper) - UK job board for cross-market comparison **Regional peers** - [Prace.cz Scraper](https://apify.com/santamaria-automations/prace-cz-scraper) - Czech Republic jobs from Prace.cz (CZ peer, neighboring market) - [Profession.hu Scraper](https://apify.com/santamaria-automations/profession-hu-scraper) - Hungary jobs from Profession.hu (HU peer, neighboring market) # Actor input Schema ## `searchQueries` (type: `array`): One or more job titles or keywords to search on Profesia.sk.

Example: https://www.profesia.sk/praca/?search\_anywhere=programator ## `startUrls` (type: `array`): Direct Profesia.sk job detail page URLs to scrape.
