Služby Zamestnanosti Scraper

Extract job listings from sluzbyzamestnanosti.gov.sk, Slovakia's national public employment service portal, run by ÚPSVaR (the Central Office of Labour, Social Affairs and Family). The portal aggregates vacancies posted directly by labour offices across the country alongside listings employers post themselves, giving broad national coverage in one place.

No login. No cookies. No browser automation. The actor reads the same server-rendered listing pages a visitor's browser would.

What this actor does

Given a search keyword, this actor collects every matching job listing from sluzbyzamestnanosti.gov.sk and returns one row per listing with:

• Job title
• Hiring employer
• Location (district / municipality)
• Base gross salary and period, where published
• Listing source (labour office vs. self-posted by employer)
• Last-updated indicator
• The listing's unique ID and direct URL

Why use it

• National labour market research — track vacancy volume and salary levels across Slovakia by role or region.
• Recruitment intelligence — see which employers are actively hiring and where.
• Public-sector data journalism — this is the same dataset ÚPSVaR itself publishes, structured for analysis.
• Aggregators and job boards — feed Slovak listings into your own product.

How to scrape Služby Zamestnanosti data

1. Open the actor and set a Search Query (for example vodič, kuchár, predavač or programátor). Leave it empty to pull all current listings. Slovak keywords work best.
2. Set Max Results to how many listings you want.
3. Leave the proxy on the default automatic setting and click Start.

The actor pages through the listings (20 per page) until it reaches your Max Results or runs out of listings, then writes everything to the dataset. You can export the result as JSON, CSV or Excel.

Input

Field	Type	Description
searchQuery	string	Job title / profession to search for. Slovak keywords work best. Default: vodič.
maxResults	integer	Maximum number of listings to return. Default: 100.

Cost estimate

This actor parses lightweight server-rendered HTML and no browser, so runs are cheap and fast. One request returns up to 20 listings, so even a few thousand jobs cost only a moderate number of requests. Exact cost depends on your Apify plan and proxy usage. Usage is only charged after a run finishes with status SUCCEEDED — a failed or aborted run doesn't bill for partial results.

Limitations

• Salary is not always published. Some listings omit a base salary figure entirely — minSalary/currency/salaryPeriod will be empty for those.
• Location is published as a free-text district string (e.g. "Považská Bystrica - Považská Bystrica") rather than structured city/region fields, matching how ÚPSVaR itself presents it.
• Full job descriptions, requirements and application instructions are on the individual listing page, not included in the default output — use the url field to link to the full listing.
