## What's an Apify Actor?

Actors are web data automations that power AI and operations. They run on the Apify platform to scrape websites, process data, connect APIs, and automate workflows.
In Batch mode, an Actor accepts a well-defined JSON input, performs an action which can take anything from a few seconds to a few hours,
and optionally produces a well-defined JSON output, datasets with results, or files in key-value store.
In Standby mode, an Actor provides a web server which can be used as a website, API, or an MCP server.
Actors are written with capital "A".

## How to integrate an Actor?

If asked about integration, you help developers integrate Actors into their projects.
You adapt to their stack and deliver integrations that are safe, well-documented, and production-ready.
The best way to integrate Actors is as follows.

- **AI agents and MCP clients** — the [Apify MCP server](https://docs.apify.com/integrations/mcp.md) at `https://mcp.apify.com` (remote, streamable HTTP, OAuth on first use).
- **Agentic workflows and local Actor development** — [Agent Skills](https://apify.com/.well-known/agent-skills/index.json) with the [Apify CLI](https://docs.apify.com/cli/docs.md): `npm install -g apify-cli`, then `apify login`.
- **JavaScript/TypeScript projects** — the official [JS/TS client](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/js/docs.md): `npm install apify-client`.
- **Python projects** — the official [Python client](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/python/docs.md): `pip install apify-client`.
- **Any other language** — the [REST API](https://docs.apify.com/api/v2.md).

For usage examples, see the [API](#api) section below.

# README

## UZT.lt Scraper

Scrape job listings from uzt.lt, Lithuania's official national Public Employment Service job board, run by Užimtumo tarnyba prie Lietuvos Respublikos socialinės apsaugos ir darbo ministerijos (the Employment Service under the Ministry of Social Security and Labour).

### Why use this actor?

Užimtumo tarnyba is Lithuania's national employment agency — every registered employer and job seeker in the country ultimately runs through it, and its public job board carries the full national inventory of open positions: thousands of live listings at any given time, across every municipality and sector. It's the Lithuanian counterpart to job-room.ch (Switzerland), jobnet.dk (Denmark) and VDAB (Flanders) — a public labour-market data source distinct from private job boards, useful for recruitment platforms, HR tech products, and labour-market and wage research. No login, no cookies required to read it.

### How to scrape UZT.lt data

uzt.lt is a classic server-rendered site (no separate JSON API), and this actor talks to its search and detail HTML pages directly.

1. Set `searchQuery` to a keyword in Lithuanian (e.g. `"vairuotojas"` = driver, `"virėjas"` = cook, `"programuotojas"` = programmer).
2. Optionally set `municipality` to a numeric municipality (savivaldybė) code to restrict results to one region of Lithuania.
3. Leave `searchQuery` empty to browse the full public job bank — thousands of live listings nationwide.
4. Set `maxResults` to cap how many listings the run collects (default 100).
5. Leave `fetchDetails` on (default) to also pull each job's full requirements, skills, description, contract type, weekly hours and contact details — one extra page fetch per result.
6. Run the actor. It pages through uzt.lt's search results (100 listings per page, the verified page-size ceiling) until it hits `maxResults` or runs out of matching listings, then writes one row per job listing to the dataset.

Each result includes the job title, employer, salary (when quoted), municipality and city, posting and expiry dates, and — with `fetchDetails` on — the profession classification, required experience and skills, the job description, contract type, shift pattern, weekly hours, and how to apply (contact name, email, phone).

uzt.lt hard-blocks non-Lithuanian and non-residential proxy traffic behind a Cloudflare geo/reputation gate (confirmed live on every route, including `/robots.txt`). This actor routes every request through an Apify residential proxy scoped to Lithuania to get through — no browser automation needed, just plain HTTP with the right proxy.

### Input

| Field | Type | Required | Description |
|-------|------|----------|-------------|
| `searchQuery` | String | No | Search keyword in Lithuanian (e.g. `"vairuotojas"`, `"virėjas"`, `"programuotojas"`). Leave empty to browse the full job bank. |
| `municipality` | String | No | Numeric municipality (savivaldybė) code to limit results to one region of Lithuania. Leave empty to search nationwide. |
| `maxResults` | Integer | No | Maximum number of job listings to scrape (default: 100). |
| `fetchDetails` | Boolean | No | Fetch each job's detail page for requirements, skills, description, contract type, hours and contact info (default: `true`). Disable for a faster listing-only scrape. |
| `proxyConfiguration` | Object | No | Proxy settings. Requires Apify RESIDENTIAL proxy scoped to Lithuania (`country-LT`) — this site hard-blocks non-residential and non-Lithuanian IPs. |

### Output

Each result contains:

### Cost estimate

This actor uses plain HTTP through an Apify RESIDENTIAL (Lithuania-scoped) proxy — no browser automation. Measured proxy bandwidth is roughly 85 KB per result with `fetchDetails` on, which comes out to a small fraction of the per-result Pay-Per-Event fee shown on the Store listing. Buyers should size larger runs off that per-result price, not off a single-run quote.

### Limitations

- Lithuanian only — uzt.lt's job content is not published in English, and neither is this actor's output. Search using Lithuanian keywords.
- `applyEmail` is only populated when the employer listed one directly (some listings only give a phone number or route through `applyMethod` describing another channel).
- `salary` is only populated when the listing quotes a fixed monthly figure; some postings say "susitarus" (negotiable) or omit pay entirely.
- Data is scraped from the public site and may change without notice if uzt.lt changes its markup.
- Respect the website's terms of service and use responsibly.
- A run's usage cost only settles once the run reports SUCCEEDED — checking cost on a still-running or partial run understates the final total.

# Actor input Schema

## `searchQuery` (type: `string`):

Search keyword in Lithuanian (e.g. 'vairuotojas' = driver, 'virėjas' = cook, 'programuotojas' = programmer). Leave empty to browse the full public job bank (thousands of live listings).

## `municipality` (type: `string`):

Optional numeric municipality (savivaldybė) code to limit results to one region, e.g. '2' for Alytaus miesto sav., '1' for Vilniaus miesto sav. Leave empty to search all of Lithuania. See the site's own filter list at uzt.lt/laisvos-darbo-vietos/436 for the full code list.

## `maxResults` (type: `integer`):

Maximum number of job listings to scrape.

## `fetchDetails` (type: `boolean`):

Visit each job's detail page to also extract requirements, skills, description, contract type, weekly hours and contact info (email/phone). Adds one extra request per result. Disable for a faster listing-only scrape.

## `proxyConfiguration` (type: `object`):

Proxy settings. uzt.lt hard-blocks non-Lithuanian and non-residential IPs behind a Cloudflare challenge (confirmed live, every route including robots.txt) -- RESIDENTIAL + Lithuania is required, not just a safety default.

## Actor input object example

```json
{
  "searchQuery": "vairuotojas",
  "maxResults": 20,
  "fetchDetails": true,
  "proxyConfiguration": {

    ],
    "apifyProxyCountry": "LT"
  }
