• publishDate / publishDateISO: Not available from list pages. Prace.cz does not expose publish dates in search results HTML.
• salaryMin / salaryMax: null when salary is not published (approximately 40% of listings).
• category: Internal Prace.cz job category path (e.g. JD/IT-Vývoj software/Programátor).
