## 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

## Grafton Recruitment Scraper

Scrape job listings from Grafton Recruitment across 11 European markets: France, Poland, Czech Republic, Slovakia, Hungary, Romania, Netherlands, Spain, Portugal, Latvia and Lithuania. One actor, one country parameter, no login or cookies required.

### Why use this actor?

Grafton Recruitment is a pan-European staffing agency (part of the Gi Group network) posting thousands of live vacancies across CEE and Western Europe — accounting, engineering, logistics, sales, IT and industrial roles. Recruiters, market researchers and job-board aggregators use this data to track hiring demand by country and sector, benchmark salaries, or feed a meta job board without maintaining 11 separate country scrapers.

### How to scrape Grafton Recruitment data

1. Open this actor on the Apify Store and click **Try for free**.
2. Pick a **Country** from the dropdown (France, Poland, Czech Republic, Slovakia, Hungary, Romania, Netherlands, Spain, Portugal, Latvia or Lithuania).
3. Enter a **Search Query** in the local language (e.g. `comptable` for France, `magazyn` for Poland, `operátor` for Czech Republic) — or leave it blank to pull the most recently updated listings.
4. Optionally set a **Location filter** (city or region) and a **Max Results** cap.
5. Click **Start** and export the results dataset as JSON, CSV, or Excel once the run finishes.

Each result includes the job title, full description, location, salary (when disclosed), employment type, sector and a direct link to the live listing on Grafton's own site.

### Input

| Field | Type | Required | Description |
|-------|------|----------|--------------|
| `country` | String | No | Market to search: `FR`, `PL`, `CZ`, `SK`, `HU`, `RO`, `NL`, `ES`, `PT`, `LV`, `LT`. Default `FR`. |
| `searchQuery` | String | No | Keyword in the local language. Leave empty to return current listings sorted by most recently updated. |
| `location` | String | No | City or region to filter results by (matched against the listing's location text). |
| `maxResults` | Integer | No | Maximum number of listings to return (1–500, default 50). |
| `proxyConfiguration` | Object | No | Proxy settings. Grafton's search backend shows no bot-blocking — the default Apify datacenter proxy works fine. |

### Output

Each result contains:

| Field | Type | Example |
|-------|------|---------|
| `title` | String | `"Comptable Général"` |
| `company` | String | `"Grafton Recruitment"` |
| `locationRaw` | String | `"Lyon, Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes"` |
| `locationParsed` | Object | `{"city": "Lyon", "region": "Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes", "country": "France"}` |
| `language` | String | `"fr"` |
| `postedAt` | String | ISO 8601 timestamp of the listing's last update |
| `descriptionSnippet` | String | 300–400 character plain-text excerpt of the full job description |
| `url` | String | Direct link to the live job page |
| `employmentType` | String | `"CDI"`, `"Ad Interim"` — nullable |
| `category` | String | `"Comptabilité et finance"` — nullable |
| `salaryRaw` | String | `"45000-48000 EUR"` — nullable, only when disclosed and not anonymised |
| `isRemote` | Boolean | Whether the listing is marked remote |
| `forGraduates` | Boolean | Whether the listing is marked suitable for graduates |
| `referenceNumber` | String | Grafton's internal reference code — nullable |
| `source` | String | `"grafton.com/fr"` |
| `scrapedAt` | String | ISO 8601 timestamp when data was collected |
| `jobId` | String | Grafton's Drupal node ID |

### Example output

```json
{
    "title": "Comptable Général",
    "company": "Grafton Recruitment",
    "locationRaw": "Poissy, Île-de-France",
    "locationParsed": {
        "city": "Poissy",
        "region": "Île-de-France",
        "country": "France"
    },
    "language": "fr",
    "postedAt": "2026-07-31T00:00:00.000Z",
    "descriptionSnippet": "Comptable Général – Location Longue Durée (LLD / Leasing / Crédit-Bail) CDI – Poissy (78) Rémunération : 50 - 55 k€ selon profil...",
    "url": "https://fr.grafton.com/node/120617",
    "employmentType": "CDI",
    "category": "Comptabilité et finance",
    "salaryRaw": "50000-55000 EUR",
    "isRemote": false,
    "forGraduates": false,
    "referenceNumber": "79691",
    "source": "grafton.com/fr",
    "scrapedAt": "2026-08-08T19:45:30.490Z",
    "jobId": "120617"
}
```

### Covered markets

| Country | Code | Site |
|---------|------|------|
| France | `FR` | fr.grafton.com |
| Poland | `PL` | pl.grafton.com |
| Czech Republic | `CZ` | grafton.cz |
| Slovakia | `SK` | grafton.sk |
| Hungary | `HU` | hu.grafton.com |
| Romania | `RO` | ro.grafton.com |
| Netherlands | `NL` | nl.grafton.com |
| Spain | `ES` | es.grafton.com |
| Portugal | `PT` | pt.grafton.com |
| Latvia | `LV` | lv.grafton.com |
| Lithuania | `LT` | lt.grafton.com |

United Kingdom and Croatia are not covered — Grafton's UK site currently redirects to a placeholder page, and Grafton Croatia runs on a different (non-public-search) platform. Italy runs a separate platform without a comparable search API.

### Cost estimate

This actor makes a small number of direct API requests per run — no per-job detail-page fetches, since Grafton's search index already includes the full job description. Expect well under 1 compute unit per 1,000 results. Usage cost only settles once a run reports **SUCCEEDED** — reading the dataset mid-run will undercount what you'll actually be charged.

### Limitations

- `postedAt` reflects the listing's last-updated timestamp — Grafton's data does not expose a separate original-publish-date field.
- Salary is only returned when Grafton itself discloses it and doesn't mark it anonymous — most listings omit salary.
- Data is scraped from Grafton's own public search backend and may change without notice.
- Respect Grafton's terms of service and use responsibly.

### Need this data on a schedule, or a custom version?

We run this scraper as a managed service for businesses: scheduled runs,
deduplication, delta detection, and delivery to your inbox, Google Sheets,
or API — maintenance included. We can also build a custom version with your
exact fields and filters, or combine multiple sources into one feed.

We maintain 300+ European web scrapers and answer within one business day.

# Actor input Schema

## `country` (type: `string`):

Grafton Recruitment market to search.

## `searchQuery` (type: `string`):

Keyword to search for, in the local language (e.g. 'comptable' for France, 'magazyn' for Poland, 'operátor' for Czech Republic, 'raktáros' for Hungary). Leave empty to return current listings sorted by most recently updated.

## `location` (type: `string`):

Optional city or region to filter results by. Applied client-side against the listing's location text — Grafton's API does not expose a reliable structured location filter.

## `maxResults` (type: `integer`):

Maximum number of job listings to return.

## `proxyConfiguration` (type: `object`):

Proxy settings. Grafton's search backend has no bot-blocking (low anti-bot signal) — Apify's default datacenter proxy works fine.

## Actor input object example

```json
{
  "country": "FR",
  "searchQuery": "assistant",
  "maxResults": 10,
  "proxyConfiguration": {
    "useApifyProxy": true,
    "apifyProxyGroups": [
      "RESIDENTIAL"
    ]
  }
}
```

## MCP server setup

```json
{
    "mcpServers": {
        "apify": {
            "type": "http",
            "url": "https://mcp.apify.com/?tools=fetch-actor-details,studio-amba/grafton-scraper"
        }
    }
}

```

The hosted server signs you in with OAuth on first connect, so no API token belongs in this config. Clients without OAuth support can send an `Authorization: Bearer <APIFY_API_TOKEN>` header instead, using a token from API & Integrations in Apify Console (https://console.apify.com/settings/integrations).
