Why this scraper?

🎯 Built for Slovakia

A dedicated Slovak scraper, not a global tool with a country dropdown. Search, locations and currency (EUR) are tuned for profesia.sk.

📄 Complete job data

Full job title and description, direct listing URL and publish date for every record.

💶 Salary data

Salary information parsed from the listing where the employer publishes it, in EUR. Missing salaries are returned as null, never guessed.

📍 Precise location

City, region and country plus latitude/longitude for mapping and radius analysis.

Input parameters

Parameter	Type	Default	Description
searchQuery	string	"developer"	Search keywords to filter job listings (e.g. 'programátor', 'accountant', 'marketing').
location	string	"all"	Filter jobs by Slovak region. Select 'All regions' to search nationwide.
contractType	string	"all"	Filter by contract type. 'All types' includes permanent positions, internships and other types.
daysOld	integer	(empty)	Only return jobs posted within this many days. Leave empty to return all jobs.
fetchDetails	boolean	false	When enabled, each job page is visited to extract salary, contract type, full description, education requirements, and language skills. Recommended for complete data. Disabling speeds up the scraper at the cost of these fields.
skipReposts	boolean	true	Detect and skip job listings that have already been collected in previous runs (90-day memory). Useful for incremental scraping workflows.
startUrls	array	(empty)	Optional: provide specific Profesia.sk listing page URLs to scrape instead of using the search filters above.
maxItems	integer	100	Maximum number of job listings to return. Increase for larger data sets.

Known limitations

• Salary is only returned when the employer publishes it — many listings carry null salary fields.
• Company details vary per listing; the scraper returns what the source publishes and never invents data.
• Very large result sets are bounded by the source's own paging limits.
• Listings can be removed by the source at any time, so a small share of URLs may expire shortly after scraping.

Technical details

• Coverage: everything the public search exposes, filterable via the input parameters above
