## 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.

### Pricing

$1.49 per 1,000 results — usage-based, pay only for what you scrape.

| Volume | Cost |
|---|---|
| 1,000 results | $1.49 |
| 10,000 results | $14.90 |
| 50,000 results | $74.50 |
| 100,000 results | $149.00 |

Flat-rate competitors charge $30–$99/month regardless of usage. This scraper charges only for results you actually retrieve.

---

### Performance

| Scenario | Speed | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| List-only (no detail pages) | ~2,000 results/min | Fast, no detail requests |
| With detail pages | ~120 results/min | Full description + exact date |
| Full site crawl (50k+) | ~7 hours | With detail pages enabled |

---

### Known limitations

- **Date filter accuracy** — the `daysOld` parameter filters based on exact publish dates from detail pages. When `fetchDetails: false`, only relative date text (e.g. "Před 5 hodinami") is available from list pages and date filtering is skipped.
- **Czech-language content** — job descriptions are in Czech. The scraper returns raw HTML and plain text without translation.
- **Featured listings** — top/featured listings may appear on multiple pages. The repost detection system handles deduplication automatically.

---

### Technical details

- Scrapes public listing and detail pages on Profesia.cz
- No login required
- Complies with Profesia.cz robots.txt (disallowed paths are not accessed)
- Outputs data in JSON format compatible with downstream ETL pipelines
