The Actor is free to use, and you only pay for the Apify platform usage, which gets cheaper the higher subscription plan you have.

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. 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 ## European Job Search Search twenty European national job boards in a single run. This actor queries each board in parallel, normalizes every posting to a common schema, and removes duplicates of the same job appearing on multiple boards. One search, one unified feed. No login. No cookies. No account. ### What it does - Searches 20 European job boards at once: Arbetsförmedlingen (SE), CV.lv (LV), CVbankas (LT), CVKeskus (EE), Duunitori (FI), eJobs (RO), France Travail (FR), Jobs.bg (BG), Jobs.cz (CZ), Kariyer.net (TR), Karriere.at (AT), MojPosao (HR), Net-Empregos (PT), NoFluffJobs (PL), Poslovi Infostud (RS), Profesia (SK), Profession (HU), ProUnity (BE), StepStone (DE), VDAB (BE). - Normalizes every posting to a common schema (title, company, location, salary, contract type, sector, source). - Deduplicates the same job posted on several boards by matching title, company, and location. - Returns one clean, country-tagged feed sorted by country and title. ### How to scrape European job board data 1. Enter a role or keywords in the **Search Query** field, for example `software engineer`, `nurse`, or `accountant`. A common role name gives the broadest match across countries. 2. Optionally restrict to certain countries with the **Countries** field (for example `["DE", "AT"]`). Leave it empty to query every board. 3. Set **Max Items Per Board** to control how many postings are pulled from each board. 4. Run the actor. Each board is queried in parallel, results are normalized and deduplicated. 5. Open the dataset. Each row is one unique job with the board it came from. ### Input | Field | Type | Description | |-------|------|-------------| | `searchQuery` | string | Job title or keywords. Defaults to `software engineer`. | | `countries` | array | Optional country filter. Empty means all boards. | | `maxItemsPerBoard` | integer | Max postings per board (1–200, default 20). | | `timeoutPerBoardSecs` | integer | Max seconds to wait per board (30–600, default 120). | | `proxyConfiguration` | object | Proxy settings passed to the underlying scrapers. Residential recommended. | #### Example input ```json { "searchQuery": "data analyst", "countries": ["DE", "AT", "PL"], "maxItemsPerBoard": 25, "proxyConfiguration": { "useApifyProxy": true, "apifyProxyGroups": ["RESIDENTIAL"] } } ```` ### Output Each item in the dataset is one unique job posting: ```json { "title": "Senior Data Analyst", "company": "Acme GmbH", "location": "Berlin", "country": "DE", "salary": "€65,000 - €80,000", "contractType": "Full-time", "sector": "IT", "url": "https://...", "source": "StepStone", "postedDate": "2026-06-12", "scrapedAt": "2026-06-15T18:00:00.000Z" } ``` | Field | Description | |-------|-------------| | `title` | Job title. | | `company` | Hiring company or employer, if available. | | `location` | City or region, if available. | | `country` | ISO country code of the source board. | | `salary` | Salary text as listed (format varies by board). | | `contractType` | Employment or contract type, if available. | | `sector` | Industry or category, if available. | | `url` | Link to the original posting. | | `source` | Name of the board the job came from. | | `postedDate` | Posting date, if available. | | `scrapedAt` | ISO 8601 timestamp. | A final `__SUMMARY__` item lists which boards answered, which failed, the total unique jobs, and how many duplicates were removed. ### How deduplication works Postings are deduplicated by a key built from the normalized title, company, and location. The first occurrence of each unique job is kept. This collapses the same role that appears on multiple boards (common for large employers and aggregator-fed boards) into a single entry, while keeping genuinely distinct postings separate. ### Use cases - Building a cross-border talent-market dataset for a specific role. - Salary benchmarking across countries for the same job title. - Feeding a recruitment or labor-market dashboard with normalized listings. - Monitoring hiring activity for a sector across multiple European markets. ### Notes - This is a meta-actor. It orchestrates our individual national job-board scrapers and runs them in parallel, so a single run can cover many countries at once. - Salary and posted-date fields depend on each board exposing them; not all boards provide every field. - Coverage for a given query depends on each underlying board returning results for it. A broad role name matches more boards than a narrow or local-language niche term. - Use residential proxies for the most reliable results. # Actor input Schema ## `searchQuery` (type: `string`): Job title or keywords to search for across all boards (e.g., 'software engineer', 'nurse', 'accountant'). Use a common role name for the broadest match. ## `countries` (type: `array`): Filter which countries to include. Leave empty to search all available boards (SE, LV, LT, EE, FI, RO, FR, BG, CZ, TR, AT, HR, PT, PL, RS, SK, HU, BE, DE). ## `maxItemsPerBoard` (type: `integer`): Maximum number of postings to fetch from each board. Higher values give more coverage but take longer and cost more. ## `timeoutPerBoardSecs` (type: `integer`): Maximum time to wait for each board scraper to finish. Boards that take longer are skipped. ## `proxyConfiguration` (type: `object`): Proxy settings passed to the underlying scrapers. Residential proxies recommended for reliable results. ## Actor input object example ```json { "searchQuery": "software engineer", "maxItemsPerBoard": 20, "timeoutPerBoardSecs": 120, "proxyConfiguration": { "useApifyProxy": true, "apifyProxyGroups": [ "RESIDENTIAL" ] } } ``` # API You can run this Actor programmatically using our API.
