Learn more: https://docs.apify.com/platform/actors/running/actors-in-store#pay-per-event ## 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. For more details, see Apify documentation as [Markdown index](https://docs.apify.com/llms.txt) and [Markdown full-text](https://docs.apify.com/llms-full.txt). # README ## Konnekt Scraper ![Konnekt Scraper](https://i.imgur.com/OG5VYjv.png) Scrape job listings from [konnekt.com](https://www.konnekt.com) โ€” Malta's leading recruitment agency with 450+ active vacancies across all major industries. Filter by keyword, job category, and employment type. No API key required. --- ### Why this scraper? #### ๐Ÿ” Keyword, category & type filters Search by free-text keyword (e.g. `"accountant"`, `"project manager"`, `"software developer"`) and combine with job category (e.g. `accounting`, `banking`, `it-jobs`) and employment type (`full-time`, `part-time`, `temporary-contract`). All three filters can be used together or independently. #### ๐Ÿ’ฐ Structured salary data When employers publish compensation, the scraper returns it as structured fields: `salaryMin`, `salaryMax`, `salaryCurrency` (always `EUR`), and `salaryPeriod` (e.g. `YEAR`). No regex parsing needed on your end. Fields are `null` when salary is not disclosed. #### ๐Ÿ“„ Three description formats Full job descriptions are returned in three formats for maximum flexibility: | Field | Format | Use case | |---|---|---| | `descriptionHtml` | Raw HTML | Display in web apps | | `descriptionText` | Plain text | Full-text search, NLP | | `descriptionMarkdown` | Markdown | RAG pipelines, LLM agents | #### ๐Ÿ”„ Repost detection Employers on Konnekt regularly republish the same vacancy to stay at the top of search results. The scraper maintains a 90-day cross-run fingerprint cache (`konnekt-job-dedup` Key-Value Store). Each result includes `isRepost`, `originalPublishDate`, and `originalUrl`. Set `skipReposts: true` to suppress duplicates entirely. #### โฑ๏ธ Date filtering Use `daysOld` to limit results to jobs posted within the last N days โ€” ideal for scheduled daily or weekly runs. Requires `fetchDetails: true` (publish dates are only available on detail pages). #### ๐Ÿ”— Direct URL scraping Pass specific job page URLs via `startUrls` to scrape individual listings directly. Useful for monitoring specific vacancies or integrating with your own discovery pipeline. --- ### Input parameters | Parameter | Type | Description | Default | |---|---|---|---| | `keyword` | string | Search keyword(s). Examples: `"accountant"`, `"project manager"`, `"software developer"` | `""` | | `jobFocus` | string | Job category slug. Examples: `accounting`, `banking`, `it-jobs`, `finance`, `engineering`, `human-resources`, `insurance`, `sales-business-development` | `""` | | `jobType` | string | Employment type.

Use to control cost. | `200` | | `fetchDetails` | boolean | Fetch each job's detail page for full description, structured salary, publish date, and reference code. Disable for faster list-only runs. | `true` | | `daysOld` | integer | Only return jobs posted within this many days. Requires `fetchDetails: true`. | `โ€”` | | `skipReposts` | boolean | Skip jobs already seen in previous runs (uses 90-day cross-run cache). | `false` | | `startUrls` | array | Specific Konnekt job page URLs to scrape directly. When set, `jobFocus` and `jobType` are ignored. | `[]` | --- ### Output schema #### Always present | Field | Type | Description | |---|---|---| | `id` | string | Unique numeric job ID extracted from the URL | | `url` | string | Full URL to the job detail page | | `title` | string | Job title as shown on the listing | | `location` | string | Location text from the listing card (e.g. `"Central Malta"`, `"South of Malta"`) | | `category` | string | Job category / focus area (e.g. `"Accounting"`, `"Banking"`) | | `contractType` | string | Employment type (e.g. `"Full Time"`, `"Part Time"`, `"Temporary / Contract"`) | | `experienceLevel` | string | Seniority level (e.g. `"Intermediate (1-3 years)"`, `"Middle Management"`) | | `workMode` | string | Work arrangement (e.g. `"hybrid"`, `"On Premises"`). `null` if not specified. | | `salaryRaw` | string | Salary as shown on the listing card (e.g. `"โ‚ฌ25,000 - โ‚ฌ26,000 Annually"`). `null` if not shown. | | `isFeatured` | boolean | `true` if the listing has a Featured badge | | `isRepost` | boolean | `true` if this job was seen in a previous run | | `originalPublishDate` | string | ISO date of first-ever observation. `null` if not a repost. | | `originalUrl` | string | URL from the first observation. `null` if not a repost. | | `contentHash` | string | 16-character MD5 fingerprint for deduplication | | `source` | string | Always `"konnekt.com"` | | `scrapedAt` | string | ISO 8601 timestamp of when this item was scraped | #### With `fetchDetails: true` | Field | Type | Description | |---|---|---| | `publishDate` | string | Publish date in `YYYY-MM-DD` format (Europe/Malta timezone) | | `publishDateISO` | string | Publish date in full ISO 8601 format | | `expiryDate` | string | Closing date of the vacancy (`YYYY-MM-DD`). `null` if not set. | | `referenceCode` | string | Internal reference code (e.g. `"IK286"`). `null` if not published. | | `salaryMin` | number | Minimum salary as a number. `null` if not disclosed by employer. | | `salaryMax` | number | Maximum salary as a number. `null` if not disclosed by employer. | | `salaryCurrency` | string | Salary currency, always `"EUR"` when present. `null` if salary not disclosed. | | `salaryPeriod` | string | Salary period (e.g. `"YEAR"`). `null` if salary not disclosed. | | `descriptionHtml` | string | Full job description as raw HTML. `null` if unavailable. | | `descriptionText` | string | Full job description as plain text. `null` if unavailable. | | `descriptionMarkdown` | string | Full job description in Markdown format. `null` if unavailable. | #### Example output record ```json { "id": "87692", "url": "https://www.konnekt.com/jobs/finance-jobs/accountant/87692", "title": "Accountant", "location": "Central Malta", "category": "Finance", "contractType": "Full Time", "experienceLevel": "Intermediate (1-3 years)", "workMode": "hybrid", "salaryRaw": "โ‚ฌ35,000 - โ‚ฌ40,000 Annually", "isFeatured": true, "isRepost": false, "originalPublishDate": null, "originalUrl": null, "contentHash": "a3f8b2c91d4e5f67", "source": "konnekt.com", "scrapedAt": "2026-04-24T15:30:00.000Z", "publishDate": "2026-04-22", "publishDateISO": "2026-04-22T10:14:00.000Z", "expiryDate": "2026-05-22", "referenceCode": "SB441", "salaryMin": 35000, "salaryMax": 40000, "salaryCurrency": "EUR", "salaryPeriod": "YEAR", "descriptionHtml": "

", "descriptionText": "Our client is seeking an Accountant to join their finance team...", "descriptionMarkdown": "Our client is seeking an **Accountant** to join their finance team..." } ```` *** ### Examples **Scrape all accountant vacancies with full details:** ```json { "keyword": "accountant", "fetchDetails": true, "maxItems": 100 } ``` **Full-time IT jobs only:** ```json { "jobFocus": "it-jobs", "jobType": "full-time", "fetchDetails": true, "maxItems": 50 } ``` **Senior finance roles โ€” keyword + category + type combined:** ```json { "keyword": "senior", "jobFocus": "finance", "jobType": "full-time", "fetchDetails": true, "maxItems": 200 } ``` **Direct URL scraping for specific listings:** ```json { "startUrls": [ { "url": "https://www.konnekt.com/jobs/finance-jobs/accountant/87692" }, { "url": "https://www.konnekt.com/jobs/banking-jobs/operations-officer/87805" } ], "fetchDetails": true } ``` **Daily feed โ€” new jobs only, skip reposts:** ```json { "daysOld": 1, "skipReposts": true, "fetchDetails": true, "maxItems": 500 } ``` *** ### ๐Ÿ’ฐ Pricing **$0.99 per 1,000 results** โ€” you only pay for successfully retrieved listings. Failed retries and filtered reposts are never charged. | Results | Cost | |---|---| | 100 | ~$0.10 | | 1,000 | ~$0.99 | | 10,000 | ~$9.90 | | 100,000 | ~$99.00 | > Flat-rate alternatives typically charge $29โ€“$49/month regardless of usage.

The raw `salaryRaw` string from the listing card may still be present. - **Publish date:** Only available with `fetchDetails: true`. Without detail pages, `publishDate` and `publishDateISO` are `null`, which means `daysOld` filtering is also unavailable. - **Keyword search:** Free-text keyword search matches against job titles and descriptions as indexed by Konnekt. Niche or misspelled terms may return zero results. - **Total listings:** Konnekt is Malta-specific with ~450โ€“500 active listings at any time โ€” not a large-volume board. *** ### Technical details - **Source:** konnekt.com โ€” Malta's leading recruitment agency - **Memory:** 512 MB - **Repost storage:** KeyValueStore `konnekt-job-dedup`, 90-day TTL - **Retry:** Automatic retry on network errors, exponential backoff, 3 attempts per request *** ### Additional services Need a custom actor, additional filters, scheduled runs, or integration support?
