## 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).

# README

## Profession.hu Scraper: Hungary Jobs, Salaries and Employers

Extract job listings from [Profession.hu](https://www.profession.hu) (profession.hu), Hungary's largest generalist job board with over 17,000 active listings and 6 million monthly visitors. Covers all job types, regions, and sectors across Hungary.

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

### What it does

Pulls live job listings from Profession.hu. Results include Hungarian-specific fields: county (megye), employment type in Hungarian (Teljes munkaidő / Részmunkaidő / Alkalmi / Diákmunka), experience level (Kezdő / Junior / Medior / Senior / Vezető), remote type (home office / hibrid / irodai), education level (Alapfokú / Középfokú / Felsőfokú), job category (Profession.hu taxonomy), employer benefits (Cafeteria, Mobiltelefon, SZEP kártya, etc.), listing expiry date, HUF salary from JSON-LD baseSalary where disclosed, and skills/requirements text. Full job description is available in HTML, plain text, and Markdown.

By default (`sortBy="newest"`), results are sorted newest-first via the Profession.hu RSS feed. Switch to `sortBy="relevance"` to use the site's default SERP HTML ordering instead. Profession.hu has no other server-side sort options (no sort dropdown, no `?sort=`/`?rendezes=`/`?orderby=` URL parameters) — these two paths are the only real data sources the actor can consume.

Use `searchUrls` to scrape a specific Profession.hu search result URL, or `startUrls` for direct job page URLs. Use `searchQueries` to browse the latest general listings.

Filter by:

- **Search URLs**: paste any Profession.hu search result URL directly
- **Job detail URLs**: scrape specific listings by URL
- **Location**: filter by Hungarian city (Budapest, Debrecen, Szeged, Miskolc, Pecs)
- **Employment type**: Teljes munkaidő, Részmunkaidő, Alkalmi, Diákmunka
- **Remote only**: return only home office / hibrid positions

### Input

| Field | Type | Default | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
| `searchQueries` | array of strings | - | Browse the latest listings (browses general listing). Each entry is a label for the run. For filtered search use `searchUrls`. |
| `searchUrls` | array of strings | - | Direct Profession.hu search or listing URLs. Recommended for filtered results. |
| `startUrls` | array of strings | - | Direct job detail page URLs (e.g. `https://www.profession.hu/allas/...`). |

Profession.hu exposes no other sort options — these two values map to the actor's two real data-source paths (RSS vs SERP HTML). |
| `includeJobDetails` | boolean | false | Fetch full detail page: description, salary, experience level, benefits, expiry date, company profile URL, and apply URL. Charges `job-detail-result`. |
| `includeCompanyDetails` | boolean | false | Surface company logo URL and website from the job detail page. Requires a detail page fetch per listing. |

**Targeted role search with full details**

  "location": "Budapest",
  "includeJobDetails": true,
  "maxResults": 200,
  "maxResultsPerQuery": 100
