Profesia.sk & Profesia.cz Scraper: Slovak Jobs & Salaries

Get job listings from Profesia.sk, the largest Slovak job board, and from Profesia.cz as clean structured data. Search by keywords, towns, districts and regions, the website's own filters (work area, employment type, salary, work from home, posting date, employer type, language skills, language of the ad, graduates, people from Ukraine) or paste any Profesia search URL. For each job you get the title, company, place of work with its region (kraj) and district (okres), salary in EUR or CZK (with monthly and hourly equivalents), work arrangement (on site, hybrid, remote), posting date and the website's labels (apply without a CV, accommodation, transport, ends soon). Optionally the actor opens each job page and adds the description (with e-mails and phone numbers removed), employment and contract types, categories and positions, benefits, required education, languages, skills, driving licence, years of experience, start date, base salary, company size and description and the end of publication.

Built for watching the Slovak 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, checked on the job page (ad ended or no longer matching the search) with the number of days they were online. Every run also saves a free market summary (salary median and quartiles by region and category, top employers, remote share).

The output has the same fields and values as our Jobs.cz and Prace.cz scrapers, so Slovak and Czech job data can go into one table.

Why use this Profesia scraper?

• 🔎 More website filters than any other Profesia scraper, applied by the website itself (filtered-out jobs cost nothing): 37 work areas, 8 regions and all 79 districts, employment type (full-time, part-time, brigáda/dohoda, živnosť, internship), minimum monthly or hourly salary, work from home, posted in the last 1/2/7/31 days, direct employers / agencies / TOP employers, 11 language skills, the language of the ad, graduates and people from Ukraine.
• 🧮 Plus filters the website doesn't have: only with a salary, salary up to, title must (not) contain, company include/exclude, only "apply without a CV", only with accommodation or transport, exclude jobs with travelling.
• 🗺️ Region and district for almost every job, worked out from the place of work with the full list of 2 890 Slovak municipalities (and the official Czech list for Profesia.cz), including Bratislava and Košice boroughs ("Petržalka" → Bratislava), without extra requests.
• 💰 Salaries you can compute with. Slovak ads must show a salary, so almost every job has salaryMin (and salaryMax for ranges), currency and period as numbers, monthly and hourly equivalents, the text as shown and, with details, the base salary (základná zložka mzdy).
• 📬 Monitoring mode: a daily feed of new and changed jobs (changeType), optionally with removed jobs whose job page was checked: removedReason expired (the ad ended) or noLongerMatches, with daysOnline.
• ⚡ Fast and cheap: one request gives 20 jobs, pages of a search are read in parallel, and only the part of each page with data is downloaded. Big searches (over the website's 10 000 limit, e.g. all of Slovakia) are read region by region automatically.
• 🔒 Privacy first. Recruiter contacts only if you turn them on (off by default); e-mails and phone numbers inside descriptions are replaced with [e-mail removed] / [phone removed]; employers that are private persons are never named.
• 🇸🇰🇨🇿 Both countries in one actor: Profesia.sk and Profesia.cz (switch Website); URLs of both sites always work.

  "onlyNewOrChanged": true,
  "includeRemovedJobs": true,
  "monitoringKey": "python-bratislava"
}

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

Only jobs with a salary, Salary up to, Title must contain, Title must not contain, Company, Exclude companies, Only "apply without a CV", Only with accommodation, Only with transport, Exclude jobs with travelling.

Region and district

The region and district come from the place of work: the actor looks the town up in the list of all Slovak municipalities (Wikidata, CC0) and, on Profesia.cz, in the official Czech list. Boroughs of Bratislava and Košice are recognized ("Ružinov" → Bratislava). With details, the places as the job page lists them are used. Jobs for "the whole of Slovakia", abroad or from home have no region. The website (and this actor) treats Bratislava (I–V) and Košice (I–IV) as one district each.

Monitoring mode explained

With Monitoring: only new or changed jobs the actor remembers the jobs of the previous run with the same Monitoring key and saves only jobs that are new (changeType: new) or whose title, company, salary, place or work arrangement changed (updated, with changedFields). Unchanged jobs are free. With Monitoring: include removed jobs, jobs of the previous run that are no longer in the search are checked on their job page and returned as removed with removedReason expired (the ad ended) or noLongerMatches (the ad is live but left the search, e.g. its salary changed). When a removed job comes back it is returned as reappeared. Removed jobs are only checked when the run read every search completely.

Market summary (SUMMARY)

Every run saves a free JSON record SUMMARY in the key-value store: number of jobs, salary median and quartiles (in the site's currency) overall, by region and by category, top 20 employers, the share of on-site/hybrid/remote jobs, employment types and regions.

Recruiter contacts and privacy (optional, personal data)

Off by default. With Include recruiter contacts (needs Add description and details) the actor adds recruiterName, recruiterPhone and, when shown, recruiterEmail from the job page's "Kontakt" block. These are personal data and you are the data controller (GDPR): use them only to contact the person about that job ad, inform them at the latest at the first contact (Art. 14 GDPR), respect objections and delete them when no longer needed. Unsolicited marketing e-mails, SMS and calls are illegal in Slovakia and Czechia. Contacts are never returned for private employers, and descriptions always have e-mails and phone numbers removed. To object to the processing of your data, open an issue in the actor's Issues tab or write to Apify (privacy@apify.com).

Fast mode (optional, small extra charge)

Up to 240 requests per minute and 8 at a time instead of 90 and 4. When the website answers "too many requests", shows a challenge or slows down, the run switches back to the normal speed for the rest of the run.

How much does it cost to scrape Profesia.sk?

This actor uses pay-per-event pricing: you pay for each job saved in the dataset, the same price with or without details (see the Pricing tab). The residential proxy that Profesia requires is included in the price. Filtered-out jobs, unchanged jobs in monitoring mode and the market summary are free. You can set a maximum cost per run; the actor stops when it is reached.

Limitations

• Profesia shows at most 500 pages (10 000 jobs) per search. Searches without a place are read region by region automatically; a single region never comes close to the limit.
• The list shows no employment type, categories or education: they need Add description and details (one more request per job).
• isAgency is known only with the Employer type filter.
• Profesia (AWS WAF) lets in only residential IP addresses from Slovakia or Czechia. The default proxy (Apify Proxy, RESIDENTIAL, SK) is included in the price; datacenter proxies and runs without a proxy end with "rejecting requests".
• Ads with the employer's own page design have fewer details (no labelled sections); their description is still returned.

For AI agents and API users

from apify_client import ApifyClient

client = ApifyClient("<YOUR_API_TOKEN>")
run = client.actor("tsutseisoftware/profesia-scraper").call(run_input={
    "searchQueries": ["python"], "regions": ["bratislavsky-kraj"], "maxItems": 100,
})
for job in client.dataset(run["defaultDatasetId"]).iterate_items():
    print(job["title"], job["company"], job["salaryMin"], job["salaryCurrency"])

Troubleshooting

• "rejecting requests (AWS WAF)": keep the default Proxy configuration (Apify Proxy, RESIDENTIAL, country SK or CZ).
• "Location not found": type the place as in the website URL (bratislava, okres-malacky, kosicky-kraj) or pick it in Regions / Districts.
• Fewer jobs than expected: check the filters summary in the status message ("filtered out: …") and Max jobs per search / Max pages per search.

FAQ

Is it legal to scrape Profesia.sk?

The actor reads only data that Profesia publishes for everyone without logging in, at a moderate speed. Recruiter contacts are off by default, e-mails and phone numbers in descriptions are removed, and private persons who advertise are never named. You are responsible for how you use the data (GDPR, database rights and the website's terms); if in doubt, consult a lawyer. This actor is not affiliated with Profesia or Alma Career.

Does it scrape Profesia.cz too?

Yes. Set Website to Profesia.cz, or paste Profesia.cz URLs. Both sites share job IDs, so the same ad has the same id on both.

How are region and district determined?

From the place of work and the list of Slovak (or Czech) municipalities; with details from the places the job page lists. See Region and district.

Do I need a proxy?

Yes, a residential one: the default setting already uses it and its cost is included in the price.

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

Only with Include recruiter contacts (off by default) and only as the job page shows them. Profesia almost never shows an e-mail: applications go through its form.
