How much does it cost to scrape Jobs.bg?

The Jobs.bg Scraper uses Playwright with residential proxies for reliable data extraction. Typical costs:

• 100 listings (search results only): ~$0.10-0.20 in platform credits
• 100 listings (with full details): ~$0.30-0.50 in platform credits
• 1,000 listings (search results only): ~$0.50-1.00 in platform credits

Costs depend on the number of pages loaded and proxy usage. Disabling includeDetails is faster and cheaper when you only need basic listing data.

Tips and advanced options

• Use Bulgarian keywords for broader results. Many listings are in Bulgarian only (e.g. "програмист" instead of "programmer").
• Enable includeDetails only when you need full job descriptions and requirements. It's 5-10x slower because it visits each job page individually.
• Set maxResults to control costs. Start small (10-50) to verify the output, then scale up.
• Location filtering supports major Bulgarian cities: Sofia, Plovdiv, Varna, Bourgas, Ruse, Stara Zagora, Pleven, and 20+ more. Use "Remote" for remote-only jobs.
• Schedule runs to track new listings daily or weekly using Apify's built-in scheduler.
• Combine with other scrapers to build a comprehensive Bulgarian job market dataset. Check our Zaplata.bg and Karieri.bg scrapers.

Supported locations
