How much does it cost to scrape Profesia.sk?

The Profesia.sk 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.

Tips and advanced options

• Use Slovak keywords for the best results. Most listings are in Slovak (e.g. "programator" instead of "programmer", "uctovnik" instead of "accountant").
• Enable includeDetails only when you need full job descriptions, requirements, and benefits. 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 all major Slovak cities: Bratislava, Kosice, Zilina, Presov, Nitra, Banska Bystrica, Trnava, Trencin, and 20+ more.
• 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.
