Profession.hu Job Scraper

Pull job listings from profession.hu — Hungary's largest job board — at scale, complete with salary ranges in HUF, full descriptions, required skills, benefits, and the direct apply link for every posting. Filter across 23 job categories, five experience bands, on-site or remote arrangements, or paste a search URL you already built in the browser. Built for recruiters, HR teams, and labor-market analysts who need clean, structured Hungarian job-market data without copy-pasting listings one page at a time.

Why This Scraper?

• All 23 profession.hu job categories — IT development, engineering, finance & accounting, healthcare & pharma, logistics, sales & retail, marketing, hospitality, skilled trades, public administration, and more, filterable individually or all at once.
• Five experience-level bands — no experience needed, 1–3, 3–5, 5–10, and 10+ years, so you pull only the seniority you're hiring or analyzing for.
• Salary ranges in HUF, not just text — every posting that publicises pay returns parsed salaryMin and salaryMax numbers alongside the original salaryText, ready for compensation benchmarking.
• Four description formats per job — plain text, HTML, and Markdown built from the same source, plus an all mode that returns every format in one row.
• Structured requirements, responsibilities, skills, and benefits — each detail-enriched job breaks the listing into separate fields instead of one wall of text.
• Tech-stack extraction for IT roles — technologies named in the posting are surfaced as a clean techStack array, perfect for sourcing developers by language or framework.
• Five employment types crossed with remote filtering — full-time, part-time, internship, contractor, and student/trainee, narrowable to on-site or remote postings.
• Company profile and logo for every employer — companyName, companyProfileUrl, and companyLogoUrl captured per job for branding and outreach lists.
• Search by filters or paste a URL — run structured filters, paste a profession.hu search URL you've already refined, or drop in individual job URLs — duplicates are removed across all three.

Tips for Best Results

• Search in Hungarian for the most results — profession.hu is a Hungarian-language board, so "könyvelő" or "szoftverfejlesztő" returns far more matches than the English equivalent.
• Paste a search URL you've already filtered — refine results in the profession.hu UI, then paste that URL into searchUrls; it carries your exact filters and skips rebuilding them here.
• Turn off detail enrichment for fast scans — set includeDetails to false when you only need listing-level fields like title, company, location, and salary text; flip it on when you need full descriptions, skills, and benefits.
• Shrink your rows with descriptionFormat — pick a single format (text, HTML, or Markdown) instead of All formats to keep output lean for spreadsheets and dashboards.
• Salary numbers appear only when pay is publicised — many Hungarian postings keep pay confidential, so salaryMin/salaryMax populate only on listings that disclose a range; salaryText always reflects what's shown.
• Start small, then scale — run with maxResults of 25–50 to confirm the data fits your needs before launching a large pull.
• Combine categories with a keyword — pairing a broad keyword with two or three categories returns a tightly targeted result set without scanning the whole board.

Pricing

From $1.80 per 1,000 results — flat pay-per-result pricing that undercuts the typical Hungarian job-board scraper. Bronze, Silver, and Gold subscribers pay progressively less; the table below shows total cost at each discount tier.

Results	No discount	Bronze	Silver	Gold
100	$0.22	$0.20	$0.19	$0.18
1,000	$2.15	$2.00	$1.90	$1.80
10,000	$21.50	$20.00	$19.00	$18.00
100,000	$215.00	$200.00	$190.00	$180.00

A "result" is any job row in the output dataset. No compute or time-based charges — you pay per result, plus a small fixed per-run start fee.
