Praca.pl Scraper - Polish Job Listings

What does Praca.pl Scraper do?

Praca.pl Scraper extracts job listings from Praca.pl, one of Poland's largest job boards with tens of thousands of active postings.

How much does it cost to scrape Praca.pl?

The Praca.pl Scraper uses Playwright with residential proxies for reliable data extraction (the site is a client-rendered app, so a real browser is required). Typical costs:

• 50 listings (search results only): ~$0.05-0.15 in platform credits
• 50 listings (with full details): ~$0.20-0.40 in platform credits
• 500 listings (search results only): ~$0.30-0.70 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. That works out to roughly $0.001-0.003 per result without details, or $0.004-0.008 per result with details. Actual usage cost only settles once a run reports SUCCEEDED -- a mid-run dataset read will show a cost far lower than the final total.

Tips and advanced options

• Use Polish keywords for the best results. Most listings are in Polish (e.g. "programista" instead of "programmer", "ksiegowa" instead of "accountant").
• Leave searchQuery empty to browse the newest listings across all categories -- useful for tracking fresh postings without a specific keyword.
• Enable includeDetails only when you need the full job description. 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.
• City filtering works with major Polish cities: Warszawa, Krakow, Wroclaw, Gdansk, Poznan, Lodz, Katowice, and more.
• Schedule runs to track new listings daily or weekly using Apify's built-in scheduler.
• Combine with other scrapers (Pracuj.pl, RocketJobs.pl) to build a comprehensive Polish job market dataset.
