Profesia.cz Scraper - Czech Job Listings

How much does it cost to scrape Profesia.cz?

The Profesia.cz Scraper uses Playwright with residential proxies for reliable data extraction. 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 Czech keywords for the best results. Most listings are in Czech (e.g. "programator" instead of "programmer", "ucetni" instead of "accountant").
• 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.
• Region filtering supports all 14 Czech regions (kraje): Praha, Jihomoravsky, Jihocesky, Vysocina, Karlovarsky, Kralovehradecky, Liberecky, Olomoucky, Moravskoslezsky (Ostrava), Pardubicky, Plzensky, Ustecky, Stredocesky, Zlinsky.
• Schedule runs to track new listings daily or weekly using Apify's built-in scheduler.
• Combine with other scrapers to build a comprehensive Central European job market dataset.

FAQ and support

Is it legal to scrape Profesia.cz?

• Make sure your search query matches actual job listings on Profesia.cz.
• Try broader search terms or remove the location filter.
• Ensure residential proxies with Czech Republic country code are enabled.
• The site may temporarily block automated access -- try again after a few minutes.

Can I get custom modifications?

Yes. If you need additional fields, different output formats, or integration with your systems, open an issue in the Issues tab or contact us for a custom solution.

How often should I run this scraper?

Profesia.cz updates listings continuously. For most use cases, running once daily or weekly is sufficient. Use Apify's scheduler to automate recurring runs.

What is the currency?

All salaries on Profesia.cz are displayed in CZK (Czech koruna), since the Czech Republic is not in the Eurozone. Salaries are typically shown as gross monthly amounts (Kč/měsíc).

Is this the same data as Profesia.sk?

No. Profesia.cz and Profesia.sk run on the same underlying platform but serve entirely separate national job markets -- Czech Republic vs. Slovakia. Use Profesia.sk Scraper for Slovak listings.
