## What's an Apify Actor?

Actors are a software tools running on the Apify platform, for all kinds of web data extraction and automation use cases.
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.

In JavaScript/TypeScript projects, use official [JavaScript/TypeScript client](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/js.md):

```bash
npm install apify-client
```

In Python projects, use official [Python client library](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/python.md):

```bash
pip install apify-client
```

In shell scripts, use [Apify CLI](https://docs.apify.com/cli/docs.md):

````bash
# MacOS / Linux
curl -fsSL https://apify.com/install-cli.sh | bash
# Windows
irm https://apify.com/install-cli.ps1 | iex
```bash

In AI frameworks, you might use the [Apify MCP server](https://docs.apify.com/platform/integrations/mcp.md).

If your project is in a different language, use the [REST API](https://docs.apify.com/api/v2.md).

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

### Why use this scraper?

- **Full dataset access** — scrape all 4,000+ active Estonian job listings or filter by keyword
- **Structured salary data** — numeric `salaryMin` / `salaryMax` fields, no string parsing required
- **Cross-run deduplication** — 90-day fingerprint cache prevents duplicate results across consecutive runs
- **Optional HTML descriptions** — enable `fetchDetails` to retrieve the full rich-text job description and direct apply URL
- **No API key required** — runs out of the box with no credentials or registration

---

### Input parameters

| Parameter | Type | Default | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
| `keyword` | string | `""` | Search keyword or job title. Leave empty to retrieve all listings. |
| `maxItems` | integer | `200` | Maximum number of results to return. Set to `0` for unlimited. |

---

#### 💰 Structured salary data — machine-ready

Salary is returned as numeric fields — no regex required on your end:

| Field | Type | Example |
|---|---|---|
| `salaryMin` | number \| null | `3500` |
| `salaryMax` | number \| null | `5000` |
| `salaryCurrency` | string \| null | `"EUR"` |
| `salaryPeriod` | string \| null | `"monthly"` |

Most competing scrapers return salary as a raw string (e.g. `"€3,500 – €5,000"`), leaving the parsing to you. This scraper delivers numeric fields directly — ready for `WHERE salaryMin > 50000` queries or salary distribution charts.

### Performance

| Scenario | Speed | Memory |
|---|---|---|
| Keyword search, `fetchDetails: false` | ~1,000 results/min | 256 MB |
| Full site crawl, `fetchDetails: false` | ~1,000 results/min | 256 MB |
| Any search, `fetchDetails: true` | ~60 results/min | 256 MB |

***

### Pricing

**$1.49 per 1,000 results** — usage-based, no flat subscription.

Competitors charge $30–$49/month regardless of volume. With this scraper, scraping 500 results costs $0.75.

***

### Known limitations

- **Location and work-type filtering** happen client-side — the `keyword` field is the primary server-side filter. For location-specific searches, include the city name in your keyword (e.g. `keyword: "developer Tallinn"`).
- **Apply URL** is `null` for vacancies using CV.ee's built-in application modal. The vacancy `url` always works.
- **Categories are numeric IDs** in list-only mode; enable `fetchDetails: true` for human-readable category names.
- CV.ee primarily covers Estonia. International listings are limited.
