## What's an Apify Actor?

Actors are a software tools running on the Apify platform, for all kinds of web data extraction and automation use cases.
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.

In JavaScript/TypeScript projects, use official [JavaScript/TypeScript client](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/js.md):

```bash
npm install apify-client
```

In Python projects, use official [Python client library](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/python.md):

```bash
pip install apify-client
```

In shell scripts, use [Apify CLI](https://docs.apify.com/cli/docs.md):

````bash
# MacOS / Linux
curl -fsSL https://apify.com/install-cli.sh | bash
# Windows
irm https://apify.com/install-cli.ps1 | iex
```bash

In AI frameworks, you might use the [Apify MCP server](https://docs.apify.com/platform/integrations/mcp.md).

If your project is in a different language, use the [REST API](https://docs.apify.com/api/v2.md).

For usage examples, see the [API](#api) section below.

## BestJobs.eu Jobs Search Scraper: Extract Job Listings with Ease

---

### What Is BestJobs.eu?

BestJobs.eu is one of Eastern Europe's prominent job platforms, connecting employers with candidates across a wide range of industries. Its search pages aggregate listings by keyword, category, and location — making it a valuable source for labor market intelligence. Manually collecting this data is impractical at scale; the **BestJobs.eu Jobs Search Scraper** automates extraction from any search results page.

---

### Overview

The **BestJobs Jobs Scraper** targets search result pages and extracts structured records for every listing returned. It is suited for:

- **Recruiters** monitoring job market activity by category or region
- **HR analysts** benchmarking salaries and application trends
- **Developers** feeding data into aggregator platforms or dashboards
- **Researchers** studying hiring patterns in Eastern European markets

The scraper supports bulk URL input, configurable item limits, and fault-tolerant runs via `ignore_url_failures`.

---

### Input Format

The scraper accepts a JSON configuration object with the following fields:

```json
{
  "urls": [
    "https://www.bestjobs.eu/en/jobs/audit?_lat=20.654682&_lon=106.057849"
  ],
  "ignore_url_failures": true,
  "max_items_per_url": 50
}
````

| Field | Type | Default | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
| `urls` | `array` | — | One or more BestJobs.eu search result page URLs. Can be added one by one or via bulk edit. |
| `ignore_url_failures` | `boolean` | `true` | If `true`, the scraper continues running even if some URLs fail, rather than stopping the entire run. |
| `max_items_per_url` | `integer` | `20` | Maximum number of job listings to collect per URL. Increase for deeper result sets. |

> **Tip:** Build search URLs directly on BestJobs.eu using filters (keyword, location, category), then paste the resulting URL. The `_lat` / `_lon` parameters in the URL enable location-based filtering.

### How to Use

1. **Build your search URL** — Search on BestJobs.eu using keywords and location filters. Copy the URL from the browser (e.g., `https://www.bestjobs.eu/en/jobs/audit?_lat=...`).
2. **Configure input** — Add URLs to the `urls` array. Set `max_items_per_url` based on how many results you need.
3. **Run the scraper** — Start the actor and monitor progress in the run log.
4. **Export results** — Download as JSON, CSV, or Excel for analysis or integration.

**Common issues:**

- Ensure URLs point to **search result pages**, not individual job detail pages.
- For large result sets, increase `max_items_per_url` up to the number of results shown on the page.
- Enable `ignore_url_failures: true` for multi-URL runs to prevent a single bad URL from stopping the job.

***

### Use Cases & Business Value

- **Salary benchmarking:** Aggregate `Salary` and `Estimated Salary` fields across categories to build compensation reports
- **Market research:** Track `Applications` counts and `Responsive` flags to gauge employer engagement patterns
- **Job aggregation:** Pipe structured listings into custom job boards or internal HR tools
- **Competitive intelligence:** Monitor premium and highlighted listings to understand competitor hiring activity

***

### Conclusion

The **BestJobs.eu Jobs Search Scraper** turns any search results page into a clean, structured dataset with 29+ fields per listing. Whether you're benchmarking salaries, building a job aggregator, or analyzing regional hiring trends, it delivers consistent, machine-readable data without manual effort.
