## 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.

# README

## Burzarada HZZ Scraper

Extract job listings from [burzarada.hzz.hr](https://burzarada.hzz.hr), Croatia's national public employment service portal, run by HZZ (Hrvatski zavod za zapošljavanje). The portal is the country's official vacancy register — every employer registering an opening with the employment service, plus direct employer postings, ends up here.

No login. No cookies session that expires mid-run. No browser automation. The actor reads the same server-rendered listing and detail pages a visitor's browser would.

### What this actor does

Given a search keyword, this actor collects every matching job listing from burzarada.hzz.hr and returns one row per listing with:

- Job title
- Hiring employer
- Workplace location (municipality)
- Number of open positions
- Application deadline
- The listing's unique ID and direct URL
- Optionally (with `fetchFullDescription`): employment type, working hours, education level, driving licence requirement, work experience, full description and contact info

### Why use it

- **National labour market research** — track vacancy volume, employer activity and role demand across Croatia.
- **Recruitment intelligence** — see which employers are actively hiring and where, before it shows up on aggregator job boards.
- **Public-sector data journalism** — this is the same register HZZ itself publishes, structured for analysis.
- **Aggregators and job boards** — feed Croatian public-sector-registered vacancies into your own product alongside private job boards.

### How to scrape Burzarada Rada HZZ job data

1. Open the actor and set a **Search Query** — a Croatian job title or profession keyword (for example `kuhar`, `konobar`, `vozač`, `prodavač`, `njegovatelj`). Leave it empty to pull all current listings nationwide.
2. Set **Max Results** to how many listings you want.
3. Turn on **Fetch Full Description** if you want employment type, working hours, education level, driving licence, work experience, a free-text description and contact details for each listing — this costs one extra request per job.
4. Leave the proxy on the default automatic setting and click **Start**.

The actor pages through the listings (up to 75 per page) until it reaches your Max Results or runs out of listings, then writes everything to the dataset. You can export the result as JSON, CSV or Excel.

### Input

| Field | Type | Description |
|-------|------|-------------|
| `searchQuery` | string | Job title / profession to search for. Croatian keywords work best. Default: `kuhar`. Leave empty for all current listings. |
| `maxResults` | integer | Maximum number of listings to return. Default: `100`. |
| `fetchFullDescription` | boolean | Fetch each listing's detail page for employment type, working hours, education, driving licence, experience, description and contact. Default: `false`. |
| `proxyConfiguration` | object | Apify proxy settings. Default: automatic (no anti-bot on this site). |

#### Example input

```json
{
    "searchQuery": "kuhar",
    "maxResults": 100,
    "fetchFullDescription": true,
    "proxyConfiguration": {
        "useApifyProxy": true
    }
}
```

### Output

Each dataset item looks like this (with `fetchFullDescription: true`):

```json
{
    "jobTitle": "VOZAČ / VOZAČICA B KATEGORIJE",
    "employer": "MIKULIĆ društvo s ograničenom odgovornošću za trgovinu, ugostiteljstvo i turizam",

    "workingHours": "Puno radno vrijeme",
    "educationLevel": "Osnovna škola niži razredi Završena osnovna škola",
    "drivingLicence": null,

    "scrapedAt": "2026-08-21T09:12:03.736Z"
}
```

#### Output fields

| Field | Type | Description |
|-------|------|-------------|
| `jobTitle` | string | Title of the job listing |
| `employer` | string | Name of the hiring company |
| `location` | string | Workplace municipality |
| `positionsWanted` | number | Number of openings for this listing |
| `employmentType` | string | Contract type (permanent/fixed-term). Only with `fetchFullDescription`. |
| `workingHours` | string | Full-time/part-time as published. Only with `fetchFullDescription`. |
| `educationLevel` | string | Required education level. Only with `fetchFullDescription`. |
| `drivingLicence` | string | Required driving licence category, if any. Only with `fetchFullDescription`. |
| `workExperience` | string | Required work experience. Only with `fetchFullDescription`. |
| `description` | string | Free-text job description. Only with `fetchFullDescription`. |
| `contact` | string | Contact email or phone as published. Only with `fetchFullDescription`. |
| `validFrom` | string | Listing validity start date (Croatian `d.M.yyyy.` format). Only with `fetchFullDescription`. |
| `applicationDeadline` | string | Application deadline as published (Croatian `d.M.yyyy.` format) |
| `jobId` | string | Unique burzarada.hzz.hr listing ID (`WebSifra`) |
| `url` | string | Full job listing URL |
| `scrapedAt` | string | ISO 8601 timestamp of collection |

### Cost estimate

This actor parses lightweight server-rendered HTML and no browser, so runs are cheap and fast. One request returns up to 75 listings without `fetchFullDescription`, or one extra request per listing with it enabled. Exact cost depends on your Apify plan and proxy usage. Usage is only charged after a run finishes with status SUCCEEDED — a failed or aborted run doesn't bill for partial results.

### Limitations

- **Salary is not published on this portal.** HZZ listings don't carry a structured or free-text salary field — this is a data-source limitation, not a scraping gap.
- **Dates are published in Croatian `d.M.yyyy.` format** (e.g. `20.9.2026.`), not converted to ISO 8601, matching how HZZ itself presents them.
- **Location is a free-text municipality name**, not split into structured city/region/postal-code fields, matching the source.
- `employmentType`, `workingHours`, `educationLevel`, `drivingLicence`, `workExperience`, `description`, `contact` and `validFrom` are only populated when `fetchFullDescription` is enabled — the default fast mode returns only the list-page fields.
- Some detail fields (driving licence, accommodation, work experience) are legitimately conditional on the job and left empty by the employer for many listings.
