Prace.cz Scraper: Czech Jobs, Salaries & Companies

Get job listings from Prace.cz, one of the largest Czech job boards, as clean structured data. Search by keywords, location, regions and the website's own filters (employment type, contract type, education, salary, remote work, languages, employer type, posting date), or paste any Prace.cz search URL. For each job you get the title, company, place of work with its region (kraj) and district (okres), salary when the employer shows it (with monthly and hourly equivalents), employment type, remote/hybrid flag, posting and expiry dates and categories. Optionally the actor opens each job page and adds the description (with e-mails and phone numbers removed), benefits, required education and languages, contract type and whether the advertiser is a recruitment agency.

Built for watching the job market: schedule it daily in monitoring mode and you get, and pay for, only jobs that are new or changed, plus, if you want, the jobs that disappeared since the last run and how many days they were online. Every run also saves a free market summary (salary median and quartiles by region and category, top employers, remote share). Optional company data from ARES, the public Czech business register (company ID, legal form, size, main activity), for an extra charge.

Why use this Prace.cz scraper?

• 🔎 The website's filters, applied by the website. Employment type (full-time, part-time, brigáda, internship), contract type (HPP, IČO, DPP/DPČ), education, minimum salary, work from home, language skills, "suitable for" groups, direct employers vs. agencies and posting date (24 h / 3 days / 7 days) are sent to Prace.cz in the URL, so the results match what you see on the website and filtered-out jobs cost nothing.
• 🗺️ Region and district for almost every job, worked out from the place of work with the official list of Czech municipalities (ČSÚ / RÚIAN), without extra requests. Filter by one or more regions.
• 💰 Salaries you can compute with. salaryMin, salaryMax, currency and period as numbers, plus monthly and hourly equivalents. Only salaries shown on the website are returned; when an employer hides the salary, the actor returns null.
• 📊 Free market summary after every run (SUMMARY record): median and quartiles of monthly salary overall, by region and by category, top 20 employers, share of remote/hybrid/onsite jobs, agencies and employment types.
• 📬 Monitoring mode: a daily feed of new and changed jobs (changeType), optionally with removed jobs (removedAt, daysOnline) to see how fast positions are filled.
• 🏢 Company data from ARES (optional, extra charge): IČO, legal form, registered office, employee count range, main activity (CZ-NACE), founding date.
• 🔒 Privacy first. Recruiter contacts only if you turn them on (off by default, see Recruiter contacts and privacy); e-mails and phone numbers inside descriptions are replaced with [e-mail removed] / [phone removed]. Employers that are private persons are never named.
• 🚀 Optional fast mode: up to 120 requests per minute instead of 30, with automatic slow-down when the website asks (small extra charge).
• ⚡ Fast and light: one request gives 40 jobs. No browser, no proxy needed.

How to scrape Prace.cz

1. Enter Search queries (e.g. python, skladník) and a Location (e.g. praha, brno, jihomoravsky-kraj), several Locations or Regions, or paste Prace.cz URLs into Prace.cz URLs: set your search and filters on the website and copy the URL, e.g. https://www.prace.cz/nabidky/brno/?keywords[]=skladník.
2. Optionally choose Website filters and Filters, set Max jobs, and turn on Add description and details or Add company data from ARES if you need them.
3. Click Start and download the results as JSON, CSV or Excel, or use the API. The market summary is in the Storage → Key-value store tab as SUMMARY (and in the Output tab).

Use cases

New jobs by e-mail, Slack or Google Sheets every morning

Save this input as a task, add a Schedule (e.g. daily at 7:00) and connect an integration in Apify Console (e-mail, Slack, Google Sheets, Make, Zapier or a webhook) that sends the dataset after each run. Thanks to monitoring mode, each run returns only jobs that are new or changed, so the message contains just the news.

{
  "searchQueries": ["python", "django"],
  "location": "praha",
  "maxItems": 0,
  "onlyNewOrChanged": true,
  "monitoringKey": "python-praha"
}

Salary research for a region and category

Read all jobs with a salary in two regions and open the free SUMMARY record: median and quartiles of the monthly salary by region and by category, and the share of jobs that show a salary. The Salaries view shows the individual jobs.

{
  "searchQueries": ["účetní", "mzdová účetní"],
  "regions": ["jihomoravsky-kraj", "zlinsky-kraj"],
  "onlyWithSalary": true,
  "maxItems": 500
}

Employer insights: who is hiring, how big they are and what they do

Job market analysis with company context: add company data from ARES (extra charge, see below) to see the hiring employers' legal form, size (employee count range) and main activity, e.g. to compare which industries and company sizes hire in a region. Direct employers only, so agencies are left out.

{
  "location": "brno",
  "jobTypes": ["fullTime"],
  "employerType": "directEmployer",
  "includeCompanyInfo": true,
  "maxItems": 200
}

Removed jobs and time to fill

Run the same search daily with removed jobs turned on. Jobs that are no longer on the website come back as rows with changeType: "removed", removedAt and daysOnline (days from posting to the last run that still saw the job), a simple measure of how fast positions are filled. Keep Max jobs at 0 (no limit) so the whole search is read; see Monitoring mode explained.

{
  "searchQueries": ["svářeč"],
  "regions": ["moravskoslezsky-kraj"],
  "maxItems": 0,
  "onlyNewOrChanged": true,
  "includeRemovedJobs": true,
  "monitoringKey": "svarec-msk"
}

Remote or hybrid jobs from direct employers with at least 50 000 CZK

{
  "searchQueries": ["controller"],
  "workArrangement": ["hybrid", "remote"],
  "employerType": "directEmployer",
  "minSalary": 50000,
  "onlyWithSalary": true,
  "maxItems": 200
}

Side jobs (brigády) on a work agreement in South Moravia posted in the last 3 days

Website filters (applied by Prace.cz)

Input	What it does
Employment type	Full-time, part-time, temporary / side job (brigáda), internship.
Contract type	Employment contract, self-employed (IČO), work agreement (DPP/DPČ).
Education	Elementary, apprenticeship, high school with diploma, university.
Salary from (CZK per month)	Minimum monthly salary, e.g. 40000. The website also matches jobs whose salary is hidden on the page; these come without a salary.
Work from home / remote	On site, hybrid, remote.
Language skills	Czech, English, German, French, Russian, Polish, Italian, Spanish.
Suitable for	No experience, graduates, seniors, parents on leave, people with disabilities, refugees.
Employer type	Direct employers only (exclude agencies) or agencies only.
Posted in the last N days	1, 3 and 7 days are applied by the website; other values are checked by the actor on the posting date.
Regions	Without a Location and without Prace.cz URLs, each search runs once per region on the website (/nabidky/<region>/).
Locations	Several places, one search each (e.g. praha, brno, ostrava), at most 20; can be combined with Location.

The website filters are also added to your Prace.cz URLs, unless the URL already sets the same filter. Location and Locations apply to Search queries and website filters, not to pasted URLs. One run makes at most 280 searches (search queries × locations or regions).

Filters (applied by the actor, you don't pay for filtered-out jobs)

Input	Example
Categories	Prodej a obchod, Administrativa (the website has no URL filter for most categories, so the actor checks them on each job; combine with a search or location)
Regions (with a Location, Locations or Prace.cz URLs)	the region of each job's place of work must be one of the chosen regions
Only jobs with a salary	skip jobs without a visible salary
Title must contain, Title must not contain	junior, not senior
Company, Exclude companies	Škoda, not Manpower

Safety limits in Advanced: Max pages per search (40 jobs per page). Max jobs per search limits each query, region or URL separately.

Region and district

region (kraj) and district (okres) come from the place of work shown in the list (location), matched against the official list of Czech municipalities (ČSÚ code lists and RÚIAN links, embedded in the actor, no extra requests). Places like "Praha-Smíchov" or "Brno-Černovice" are parts of a municipality and count as Prague (district: "Praha") or Brno (Brno-město). When a name belongs to several municipalities and the actor can't tell which one is meant (e.g. "Staré Město"), or the place is "Česko" or abroad, both fields are null. For jobs with several places, region and district describe the first place with a known region and regions lists the regions of all places. When the website itself limited the search to a region (Regions, or a region as Location), a place the list can't decide gets that region. With Add description and details, region and district come from the job page itself when it gives them, together with the workplace's house number, city part (cityPart) and GPS (gpsLat, gpsLon) of the first workplace; these are never returned for a private employer. In our samples about 98 % of places got a region.

Monitoring mode explained

With Monitoring: only new or changed jobs each run compares jobs with the previous run that used the same Monitoring: key. A job is returned as changeType: "new" when it wasn't seen before, or "updated" when its title, company, salary, place or type of work changed (changedFields says which of title, salary and work arrangement). Jobs not seen for 90 days are forgotten. Use one key per watched search, and keep the same search and filters for that key.

Monitoring: include removed jobs adds jobs from the previous run that the current run no longer finds, with their last known title, company, place, region, salary and URL, changeType: "removed", firstSeenAt, lastSeenAt, removedAt and daysOnline. Each removed job is reported once; if it comes back to the website later, it is returned once as changeType: "reappeared" (with removedAt of the earlier report). A job counts as removed when it is no longer in your search on the website: usually it expired or was taken down, but it can also mean the employer changed it so that the website filters no longer match it (e.g. a lower salary with Salary from). The actor's own Filters never make a job "removed": a job that is still on the website but filtered out by them is not reported. To avoid false alarms, removed jobs are checked only when the run read the whole search: if it stopped at Max jobs, Max jobs per search or Max pages per search, at the 10 000-job limit of the website, at your maximum cost per run, or some pages could not be read or the site rejected requests, nothing is marked as removed and the status message says why. With Posted in the last N days, jobs that simply got older than N days are not reported as removed. Removed rows are normal dataset rows and are charged like any other job.

Market summary (SUMMARY)

Every successful run writes a free JSON record SUMMARY to the run's default key-value store (link in the Output tab, or GET https://api.apify.com/v2/key-value-stores/<storeId>/records/SUMMARY). It covers all jobs the run found that match your search and filters, each job once; in monitoring mode also the unchanged jobs that were not saved again.

Key	Content
counts	jobs matched and saved; in monitoring mode new, updated, unchanged, removed and reappeared; jobs with company data
salary	number and share of jobs with a salary; monthly CZK median and quartiles (p25, median, p75) overall, byRegion and byCategory (groups with at least 5 jobs)
topCompanies	top 20 employers by number of jobs
workArrangement, employmentTypes, regions	number and share of jobs per value
agencies	share of agencies among jobs where it is known (with details or the Employer type filter), otherwise null

The monthly figure of a job is the middle of its salary range; hourly and daily salaries are converted at 160 hours per month. "Yearly" salaries under 120 000 CZK are monthly amounts with a wrong period on the website and are left out of the statistics (the job itself still has them). The summary contains no personal data: companies only, no recruiter data and no descriptions.

Company data from ARES (optional, extra charge)

With Add company data from ARES (extra charge) the actor looks up each employer in ARES (Administrativní registr ekonomických subjektů), the public register of economic subjects run by the Ministry of Finance of the Czech Republic (ares.gov.cz), and adds:

Field	Example	Note
companyIco	14205823	company ID (IČO)
companyLegalForm	Společnost s ručením omezeným	converted from the ARES code to its name
companyAddress	28. října 2020/231, Mariánské Hory, 70900 Ostrava	registered office, not the workplace
companyEmployeeRange	1-5	ČSÚ employee count category converted to a range (0 = no employees, 10000+); null when not stated
companyNace	73110 Činnosti reklamních agentur	main activity, CZ-NACE code and name (ČSÚ)
companyFoundedAt	2022-01-31	date of establishment
companyInfoSource, companyInfoMatch, companyInfoRetrievedAt	ARES, exact, 2026-10-13T10:00:00Z	where and when the data come from

How it works and what to expect:

• Off by default. Without this option the actor never contacts ARES.
• Matching by the company name. ARES is searched by the employer name from the job, and data are returned only for an unambiguous match: the same name, including the legal form (case, diacritics and punctuation don't matter, "spol. s r.o." = "s.r.o."), and exactly one active company. Brand names without a legal form ("IKEA Česká republika", "DATART") or several companies of the same name get no data. In our live samples 38 of 40 jobs in Brno and 25 of 30 sales jobs in Prague got company data (31 of 33 and 16 of 21 distinct employers); 5 company IDs checked by hand were all correct.
• The advertiser, not its client. The data describe the company in company. Jobs known to be posted by a recruitment agency (isAgency: true, known with details or the Employer type filter) are not looked up, because the agency is not the employer. When isAgency is unknown, an agency's job gets the agency's data.
• No private persons. Employers whose name looks like a person are never sent to ARES. When ARES says the employer is a natural person (a sole trader, legal forms 101–108, 424, 425), nothing from ARES is returned and the job's company name and address are removed as well.
• ARES data are informative only, not an official record, and can be up to about two weeks behind the source registers. Each name is looked up once per run, one request at a time (at most about 60 per minute), always directly. Results are kept for 30 days in a key-value store prace-cz-ares-cache in your account, so repeated runs don't ask again (sole traders are never stored). If ARES is unavailable or limits requests, jobs are saved without company data and the status message says so.
• Price: ARES is a free public service; the extra charge pays for the matching and integration. You pay the Company info event only for saved jobs that got company data. Jobs without a match, agencies, private persons and failed lookups cost nothing extra. Your maximum cost per run is respected: when it couldn't cover the next job with company data, the actor stops adding company data and keeps saving jobs without it while the budget allows.
• About 1–2 seconds per new company name, so a run with company data takes longer.

This actor is not affiliated with or endorsed by the Ministry of Finance of the Czech Republic.

Recruiter contacts and privacy (optional, personal data)

Include recruiter contacts (personal data) adds recruiterName, recruiterPhone and recruiterEmail to each job. Off by default; it needs Add description and details.

• What and from where. Only what the job page on Prace.cz shows in its "Kontaktní údaje" (contact details) block: the contact person's name and the phone number of its phone link (as +420…). An e-mail only when the block shows one, which the site almost never does, so recruiterEmail is nearly always null. Not the block's address or company. Nothing is guessed, derived or looked up elsewhere (no e-mail finding, no other websites), and e-mails and phone numbers inside descriptions stay removed.
• When not. Never for employers that look like a private person (also when ARES says so), for jobs on an employer's career site, for jobs whose page couldn't be read, or for people who asked to be left out. There is no list of recruiters, no count per recruiter and no contact in the SUMMARY record.
• Nothing is kept by the actor. Contacts go only into your run's dataset: never into the monitoring state, the ARES cache, the SUMMARY record or the log. A change of the contact person doesn't count as a change in monitoring mode. No extra charge for contacts.
• You are the data controller (GDPR). You need your own legal basis, typically a legitimate interest, and only for contacting the person about that specific job ad (e.g. as an applicant or on an applicant's behalf, or to clarify the offer).
• No marketing. In Czechia, commercial e-mails and SMS without prior consent are prohibited (Act No. 480/2004 Coll., § 7), also to business addresses, and marketing calls need consent (Act No. 127/2005 Coll., § 96), also to business numbers. Don't use the contacts for marketing or commercial offers, don't resell them and don't build contact databases from them.
• Inform and delete. Tell the person who you are, why you contact them, where you got the contact (Prace.cz job ad) and that they may object (Art. 14 GDPR), at the latest when you first contact them, otherwise within one month. Respect objections. Delete a dataset with contacts as soon as you no longer need it: named Apify storages are never deleted automatically.
• To be left out of future results (recruiters): open an issue in the Issues tab of this actor in Apify Store, or write to Apify's privacy contact privacy@apify.com. We remove the person from all future runs; data already in a user's dataset are that user's responsibility, so please contact them or the employer too.

Fast mode (optional, small extra charge)

Fast mode reads Prace.cz up to 4× faster: at most 120 requests per minute and 4 at a time instead of 30 per minute and 2 at a time. It stays polite: the moment the website answers "too many requests", "service unavailable" or slows down (or shows a challenge page), the run switches back to the normal speed for the rest of the run, it waits when the website sends Retry-After (and stops with what it has saved when asked to wait more than 2 minutes), and it never changes IP address to get around a limit; with a proxy, the whole run uses one proxy session. The status message says when and why the run slowed down.

• Price: the Fast mode event, $0.01 per 1 000 jobs ($0.00001 per job), only for jobs saved while the fast speed was on. Jobs saved after the switch back to the normal speed have no fast-mode charge. It respects your maximum cost per run: when the budget doesn't cover the charge, the run continues at the normal speed.
• Limits stay the same: Max jobs, Max pages per search and the website's per-search limit. A listing page has 40 jobs, so the speed matters most with Add description and details (one request per job).
• Measured (2026-10-14, 256 MB, no proxy, 110 jobs with description and details from Praha): 78 requests in 40 seconds in fast mode, about 4× faster than at the normal speed (about 2 minutes 40 seconds).
• Please don't run several fast-mode runs at the same time.

Limitations

• Salary: shown only when the employer publishes it on the website. In our samples that was about 15 % of IT jobs in Prague, about half of warehouse jobs in Brno and about 60 % across all jobs. Hidden salaries are never returned.
• Jobs on employer career sites: roughly a third to a half of the jobs are published on the employer's own career site (hasCareerPage: true). For them you get the listing data (title, company, place, salary if shown, dates, categories) but no description, benefits or education; the actor doesn't read career sites. A job URL of such a job given as input is skipped with a warning.
• At most 10 000 jobs per search: Prace.cz shows at most 250 pages of 40 jobs for one search. The actor warns when a search has more; split it by location, regions or keywords.
• Categories are checked by the actor (the website has no URL filter for most of them), so a category filter alone reads more pages than the website filters.
• Location must exist on the website (as in its URLs, e.g. praha, brno, jihomoravsky-kraj, zahranici); a misspelled location stops the run with a clear message.
• Region and district are null for about 2 % of places (names shared by several municipalities, "Česko", abroad). With Regions and a Location or Prace.cz URLs, such jobs are skipped.
• Company data need an exact name match, so brand names without a legal form stay without them; agencies' jobs get the agency's data unless isAgency is known. See Company data from ARES.
• Removed jobs are checked only after a run that read the whole search; see Monitoring mode explained.
• Descriptions are written by employers and may mention a person's name (e.g. "contact Jana"); e-mails and phone numbers are removed, names in free text are not. Description length limit shortens the text if you only need a snippet. Descriptions can be protected by copyright; use them for analysis, not for republishing.
• Employer names that look like a private person (e.g. a self-employed courier) are returned as null, together with their address, GPS and profile. A name counts as a person when it has the shape of a personal name and one of its words is a common given name (Czech, Slovak, Ukrainian or Vietnamese, from Wikidata), or it has an academic title; an Atmoskop profile of a company with a legal form and the same name marks the employer as a company. In our sample of 1 258 jobs (737 employer names) from Prace.cz and Jobs.cz, no company was hidden (before this check 1.7 % of jobs, 10 company names, e.g. "Škoda Transportation", "Richter Gedeon"). A brand name made of a given name (e.g. "Hugo Boss") is still hidden when there is no such Atmoskop profile for it.
• Job URLs given as input have a few listing-only fields empty (workArrangement, updatedAt, language; validThrough comes from the job page). If a job page doesn't list categories, Categories is not checked for it (the job is kept and the status message says so).
• If the website rejects a request, a rejected page is asked once more after 30 seconds from the same IP address and session (never from another IP), which recovers short-lived rejections. If it rejects a few requests in a row even so, the run stops and says so. Jobs whose page couldn't be read are returned with the listing data (detailScraped: false).
• This is not a copy of the Prace.cz database: it returns the jobs matching your search and filters, up to Max jobs.

For AI agents and API users

• Minimal input: {"searchQueries": ["python"], "location": "praha", "maxItems": 20}.
• One row = one job = one charge. includeDetails: true adds 1 request per job (except career-site jobs), same price per job. includeCompanyInfo: true adds the Company info charge only for rows with companyInfoSource: "ARES".
• 40 jobs per listing page. maxItems counts saved jobs, maxItemsPerStartUrl limits each query, region or URL.
• Enum values: employmentType ⊂ fullTime, partTime, temporary, internship; workArrangement ∈ onsite, hybrid, remote; salaryPeriod ∈ hour, day, week, month, year; changeType ∈ new, updated, removed; regions input ⊂ praha, stredocesky-kraj, jihocesky-kraj, plzensky-kraj, karlovarsky-kraj, ustecky-kraj, liberecky-kraj, kralovehradecky-kraj, pardubicky-kraj, kraj-vysocina, jihomoravsky-kraj, olomoucky-kraj, zlinsky-kraj, moravskoslezsky-kraj.
• Monitoring state is kept per monitoringKey between runs of the same user. The market summary is the SUMMARY record of the run's default key-value store.

JavaScript

import { ApifyClient } from 'apify-client';

const client = new ApifyClient({ token: '<YOUR_API_TOKEN>' });
const run = await client.actor('<username>/prace-cz-scraper').call({
    searchQueries: ['python'], location: 'praha', maxItems: 20,

You can also connect the actor to Make, Zapier, n8n, Google Sheets, Slack, e-mail or webhooks and schedule it in Apify Console.

Troubleshooting

Status message	What to do
Skipping unsupported URL	Use a Prace.cz search URL (https://www.prace.cz/nabidky/...) or a job URL (https://www.prace.cz/nabidka/<id>/).
The search page was not found (HTTP 404)	The location doesn't exist on the website. Use the form from the website URL, e.g. praha, brno, jihomoravsky-kraj.
This input makes N searches	Use fewer locations, regions or search queries (at most 280 searches per run).
At most 20 locations per run	Split the locations into several runs or use Regions.
… start URL could not be read	The job has expired, it is on the employer's career site, or the URL is wrong. Open it in your browser.
Prace.cz is rejecting requests	Try again later.
… listing pages could not be read, so the results may be incomplete	The website didn't answer some pages; run it again later for complete results.
stopped reading N searches after 3 listing pages in a row could not be read	The website showed something other than job lists for that search; the rest of it was skipped. Try again later.
the site shows at most 10000 jobs per search	Split the search by location, regions or keywords.
Saved 0 jobs (new or changed since last run…)	Nothing changed since the previous monitoring run; that's expected.
removed jobs were not checked because the run did not read the whole search (…)	Set Max jobs to 0 (or high enough), remove Max jobs per search, raise Max pages per search, or try again if pages could not be read.
"Monitoring: include removed jobs" works only together with …	Turn on Monitoring: only new or changed jobs.
company info unavailable for the rest of the run: ARES rate limit	ARES limited requests; the jobs were saved without company data and without the extra charge. Try again later.
stopped adding company info at your maximum cost per run	Raise the maximum cost per run, or lower Max jobs.

FAQ

Is it legal to scrape Prace.cz?

The actor reads only publicly available job listings, without logging in. It reads recruiters' contact details only if you turn on Include recruiter contacts (personal data) (off by default, and then you are responsible for using them lawfully, see Recruiter contacts and privacy), and it removes e-mails and phone numbers from descriptions; employer names that look like a private person are not returned. It makes 30 requests per minute by default, at most 120 in fast mode, and it slows down when the website asks; it never changes IP address to get around a limit and never solves captchas or other challenges. Note that the terms of use of Alma Career, the operator of Prace.cz, prohibit automated reading and copying of the website's content and further automated processing of its data. You are responsible for making sure your use of the data complies with those terms and with the law (including data protection and database rights). If unsure, consult a lawyer.

Where do the company data come from, and can I rely on them?

From ARES, the public register of economic subjects of the Ministry of Finance of the Czech Republic, which publishes them as open data. They have an informative character only (not an official record) and can be up to about two weeks behind the source registers. Sole traders and other natural persons are deliberately left out.

How are region and district determined?

From the place of work in the job list, using the official list of Czech municipalities (ČSÚ / RÚIAN open data) built into the actor. No extra requests. See Region and district.

Do I need a proxy?

No. Prace.cz works without a proxy, including from Apify's servers. You can still set Apify Proxy or your own proxies in Proxy configuration if you prefer. ARES is always contacted directly, never through a proxy.

Does it scrape Jobs.cz too?

No, only Prace.cz. Many jobs are published on both websites.

Can I get recruiters' e-mails or phone numbers?

Only what the job page shows, and only if you turn on Include recruiter contacts (personal data) together with Add description and details: the contact person's name and phone number. Prace.cz almost never shows a recruiter's e-mail, so recruiterEmail is nearly always empty, and the actor never guesses or looks up e-mails. These are personal data: use them only to contact the person about that specific job, never for marketing (see Recruiter contacts and privacy). Existing runs are not affected: the option is off by default.

Can I use it through the API?

Yes. See the Python and JavaScript examples above, or the API tab.
