Tips for Best Results

Use a Search URL for Exact Site Filters

• Build a search on Prace.cz first when you need the site’s own filter logic
• Paste that final result URL into url
• Keep max_pages modest while testing

Use location for Narrow Output

• The location input is best used as a narrowing filter on collected jobs
• Use city names such as Brno, Praha, or Ostrava
• Combine it with a keyword to reduce unnecessary pages

Start Small

• Use results_wanted: 20 for fast validation
• Increase the result count only after confirming the query works
• Raise max_pages only when you need deeper pagination

Proxy Configuration

• Add proxy settings if you plan long or repeated runs
• Residential proxies can help when collecting at larger scale
• Small test runs usually work without a proxy

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I use a full Prace.cz search URL?

Yes. If you already have a working search URL, put it into url and the actor will continue from there.

Can I scrape a single offer page?

Yes. A direct offer URL returns one enriched record when the page exposes the structured offer data.

How does the location filter work?

The actor keeps jobs whose resolved location text matches your location value. This is useful when you want city-specific output from broader searches.

Will the actor remove empty values?

Yes. Null, undefined, and empty-string fields are removed before data is stored.

What happens if a detail page has less information?

The actor still saves the available fields from the listing and includes enriched details only when the source provides them.

How many pages can I collect?

Use max_pages to cap pagination. Increase it for broader searches, or keep it low for fast test runs.
