## 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".

    "company": "epunkt GmbH",
    "location": "Graz, Wien",
    "salary": "ab 4.000 EUR monatlich",

### Cost estimate

This actor uses Playwright (headless browser) to render karriere.at's JavaScript-driven pages. Approximate costs:

- **50 jobs**: ~0.05 compute units (~$0.02)
- **500 jobs**: ~0.5 compute units (~$0.25)
- **1,000 jobs**: ~1.0 compute units (~$0.50)

Costs may vary depending on proxy usage and page load times. Austrian residential proxies are recommended for reliable results.

### Tips

- **Start small**: Test with 10-20 results first to verify the output matches your needs.
- **Use location filters**: Narrowing by city significantly reduces run time and costs.
- **Schedule regular runs**: Set up daily or weekly runs to track new job postings automatically.
- **Combine with other actors**: Use karriere.at data alongside other Austrian job portals (StepStone, willhaben Jobs) for comprehensive market coverage.
- **Empty search works**: If you leave the search query empty, it defaults to "software engineer" to ensure you always get results.

### Limitations

- Salary information is only available when employers choose to publish it (roughly 60-70% of listings).
- Posted dates are shown as relative timestamps ("vor 6 Tagen") rather than absolute dates.
- The actor respects karriere.at's page structure; if the site redesigns, selectors may need updating.
- Very large runs (1,000+ results) may take longer due to the "load more" pagination pattern.

### FAQ

**Is it legal to scrape Karriere.at?**
This actor extracts publicly available job listing data. Always review karriere.at's Terms of Service and ensure your use case complies with applicable laws including GDPR.

**How often is the data updated?**
Each run fetches live data from karriere.at. Schedule runs daily or weekly for fresh data.

**Can I get job listings in English?**
Karriere.at is a German-language platform. Job titles and descriptions are in German, though some international companies post in English.

**What if the actor returns no results?**
Try broadening your search query or removing the location filter. Ensure you are using Austrian residential proxies for best results.
