Cost estimate

This actor uses approximately 1.5 compute units per 100 results (Playwright-based). With the Apify free tier you can run smaller scrapes at no cost. For larger runs, expect roughly $0.50 per 100 job listings at standard Apify pricing. Using datacenter proxies instead of residential proxies reduces cost further.

Tips

• Use Hungarian keywords for best results. Common searches: "fejleszto" (developer), "mernok" (engineer), "marketing", "konyvelo" (accountant), "penzugy" (finance).
• Set maxResults to a reasonable number to control cost and run time.
• Hungarian residential proxies are recommended for reliable access.
• Schedule recurring runs to track new job postings daily or weekly.
• Combine with other job board scrapers (StepStone, Jobat, Indeed) for cross-country market analysis.
• Salary data is often behind a paywall on Profession.hu -- the scraper extracts what is publicly visible.

Limitations

• Salary data is not available for all listings. Many Hungarian employers do not publish salary ranges publicly, or salary is behind a premium paywall.
• Some detail fields may be empty depending on how the employer structured the listing.
• The scraper extracts publicly visible data only. Premium-only content (detailed salary ranges) is not accessible.
• Data is scraped from the live website and may change without notice if Profession.hu updates their page structure.
