## What's an Apify Actor?

An Actor is a serverless cloud program that runs on the Apify platform. It has two run modes.
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.

Apify vocabulary and the platform model are defined once, in the agent quickstart at https://apify.com/agents.md.

## 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.

Do not guess an integration path. Every one of them is in the agent quickstart at https://apify.com/agents.md: the Apify MCP server, Agent Skills with the Apify CLI, the JavaScript and Python clients, the REST API, and the account-free path for an agent with no human to sign in. It also carries the rule on stating cost before the first paid run.

For examples already wired to this Actor's own input schema, see the [API](#api) section below.

Each client library has reference documentation the quickstart does not restate: [JavaScript/TypeScript](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/js/docs.md) (`npm install apify-client`) and [Python](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/python/docs.md) (`pip install apify-client`).

# README

## Prace.cz Scraper: Czech job ads with posted pay

Scrape **Prace.cz**, a Czech job board, by region, town or kind of job (casual jobs, part-time, jobs for people with
disabilities), with your words matched on the ad cards: title, company, place, working hours, posted pay in CZK with
its period, and for ads written on Prace.cz the full description, dates, postal code, contract, education, languages,
"suitable for", professions and benefits. Export to CSV, Excel or JSON, or use the API.

**USD 0.69 per 1,000 jobs.** No login, no browser.

### What you get

- **Only the pay the ad shows.** Many Prace.cz pages say "Plat neuveden" (pay not stated) while the page's
  structured data still carries a figure. Those ads get no pay and `extra.salaryNotStated`. In our test, 4 of the 5
  "Plat neuveden" ads had such a hidden figure.
- **Fields from the job page:** contract (employment contract or self-employed, IČO), education, languages with level,
  "suitable for" (students, people without experience, refugees from Ukraine), the site's professions, the full
  benefits list, the workplace address.
- **Region, town and kind lists** (14 regions, Prague and jobs abroad), plus words matched on the card (title,
  company, place; accents and case ignored).

### Input examples

```json
{ "region": "jihomoravsky", "maxJobs": 200 }
```

Driver jobs in Prague, new ones only (daily schedule):

```json
{ "keywords": ["řidič"], "region": "praha", "onlyNewJobs": true }
```

### Example row

From a saved Prace.cz job page (empty fields left out, description and benefits list shortened; `salaryText`, the

    ]
  }
}
```

### Good to know

- **Many ads live on the employer's own career site** (a jobs.cz address) whose content loads by JavaScript: 29 of 40
  on the all-Czechia list, 8 of 20 in a South Moravia run. Those rows keep the card fields only (title, company,
  place, hours, pay when posted, the career-site link in `applyUrl`) and are marked `extra.hostedOnClientSite`. They
  have no description and no date, so "Posted within" cannot drop them.
- **Prace.cz's free-text search is closed to robots** (robots.txt), so your words are matched on the cards, and a list
  reaches at most 10,000 ads (page 250). Use a region or a town to go deeper.
- Results come in Prace.cz's own order; there is no date sort.
- 1,000 rows take about 12 minutes. A list-only run reads one page per 40 ads.
- Not given: remote flag, experience, skills, and an apply link for ads written on Prace.cz (the reply form is
  disallowed by robots.txt). The recruiter's name and phone in the contact box are never read.

### Who uses it

- **Recruiters and staffing agencies in Czechia:** new ads by region, town and kind of job every day.
- **Pay research:** posted pay in CZK by place and working hours, without hidden figures.

### Output: one row per job

Every Actor in this family writes the same columns, so you can merge boards in one sheet or database.

| Field | What it holds |
|---|---|
| `jobId` | The board's own job id |
| `title`, `company` | Job title and hiring company (as the board shows them) |
| `companyUrl`, `companyLogoUrl` | Company page and logo on the board, when given |
| `location`, `city`, `region`, `postalCode`, `country` | Location as shown, and its parts; `country` is an ISO code (FR, DE, US...) |
| `remote`, `workplaceType` | `true`/`false` and `remote`, `hybrid` or `onsite`, only when the board says so |
| `salaryMin`, `salaryMax`, `salaryCurrency`, `salaryPeriod`, `salaryText` | Salary range as numbers, ISO currency, `HOUR`/`DAY`/`WEEK`/`MONTH`/`YEAR`; empty when the board gives none (never guessed) |
| `employmentType`, `employmentTypeText` | `FULL_TIME`, `PART_TIME`, `TEMPORARY`, `INTERN`, `APPRENTICE`, `CONTRACTOR`, `FREELANCE`..., and the board's own wording |
| `experienceLevel`, `category`, `skills` | When the board gives them |
| `datePosted`, `validThrough` | ISO 8601 dates |
| `descriptionText`, `descriptionHtml` | Full description as plain text and as HTML |
| `applyUrl`, `jobUrl` | Where to apply, and the job's page on the board |
| `sourceBoard`, `searchLabel`, `scrapedAt` | Which board, which of your searches found it, when |
| `duplicateKey` | The same key for the same ad posted on several boards (or reposted): title without (m/w/d) or H/F tags, company without legal form, city, country. Use it to merge results from several of our board Actors |
| `extra` | A few fields only this board has |

Contact email addresses and phone numbers inside descriptions are removed: this Actor never collects recruiters'
personal contact details.

### Job alerts: only new jobs, sent where you work

1. Switch on **Only new jobs since the last run** and schedule the Actor (daily, hourly). It remembers the jobs it
   has already delivered for the same searches and filters, in a key-value store on your own account (named job-boards-seen-<board>), and saves only
   new ones. The first run delivers everything and remembers it. **Memory name** shares one memory between schedules,
   or starts fresh.
2. Paste a **Slack or Discord webhook** (or a Zapier or Make webhook, which can email you) into **Send new jobs to**.
   After each run that found new jobs you get one message with the count and up to 10 jobs with their links.
   Free: the message is never billed.

Apify's own integrations (Google Sheets, email, webhooks) work too.

### Pricing

Pay per job saved: **USD 0.69 per 1,000 jobs** (USD 0.00069 a job), plus USD 0.002 per run start. No
monthly rental, no charge for jobs skipped as duplicates, already seen or filtered out. Set a maximum cost per run in
Apify and the Actor stops just before it, keeping everything saved so far.

### Use it through the API

```bash
curl -X POST "https://api.apify.com/v2/acts/usefulapi~prace-cz-scraper/run-sync-get-dataset-items?token=YOUR_API_TOKEN" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{"region":"jihomoravsky","maxJobs":20}'
```

Python: `ApifyClient("YOUR_API_TOKEN").actor("usefulapi/prace-cz-scraper").call(run_input={...})`, then read the dataset items.

### Good to know

- **Polite by design:** one request at a time per site with a pause between requests, and the site's robots.txt is
  followed. Runs read public job pages only: no login, no candidate profiles or CVs.
- **What a run summary tells you:** the `OUTPUT` record has jobs saved per search, jobs skipped (duplicates, seen
  before, too old) and why a run stopped early, if it did.
- **Is it legal?** The Actor reads job ads that the board publishes openly, the same pages a job seeker sees. You are
  responsible for how you use the data (for example, the board's terms and data protection rules in your country).
- **Found a problem?** Open an issue on the Issues tab: we answer quickly.

# Actor input Schema

## `keywords` (type: `array`):

One line per search, matched on the ad card (title, company, place; accents and case ignored). Prace.cz's own free-text search is closed to robots, so the words are applied here; an ad matches when it has every word of one line. Leave empty to list every ad in the region.

## `region` (type: `string`):

One of the 14 Czech regions (Prague has its own list) or ads abroad. Leave empty for all of Czechia. A list reaches at most 10,000 ads, so use a region or a town to go deeper.

## `town` (type: `string`):

A town page as in the Prace.cz address: region slug / town slug, for example jihomoravsky/brno or stredocesky/benesov. Used instead of the region.

## `kind` (type: `string`):

Prace.cz's own lists: casual jobs (brigády), jobs for people with disabilities (OZP) or part-time jobs. Used when no town is given.

## `startUrls` (type: `array`):

Paste list pages from prace.cz/nabidky/ (a region, a town or a kind). When given, the fields above are ignored; the words still apply.

## `maxJobs` (type: `integer`):

Stop after saving this many jobs (across all searches). You pay only for jobs saved.

## `postedWithinDays` (type: `integer`):

Only jobs published in the last N days. 0 = any date.

## `onlyNewJobs` (type: `boolean`):

Remembers the jobs already delivered for these searches (in a key-value store on your account) and saves only jobs not seen before. Ideal for daily or hourly schedules and job alerts. The first run delivers everything and remembers it.

## `stateKey` (type: `string`):

Use the same name on several schedules to share one memory, or a new name to start fresh. Letters, digits, - and \_. Empty = one memory per set of searches.

## `includeDetails` (type: `boolean`):

Reads each job's own page for the full description and extra fields. Turn off for faster runs with list fields only (same price per job).

## `notifyUrl` (type: `string`):

Paste a Slack or Discord webhook link, or a Zapier or Make webhook (which can email you). After each run that saved jobs you get one message with the count and up to 10 jobs with their links. With 'Only new jobs' on and a schedule, this is a free job alert. Not billed.

## `descriptionFormat` (type: `string`):

Plain text, HTML, both, or none (smaller datasets).

## `maxJobsPerSearch` (type: `integer`):

Cap for each search line, so one broad search does not use up the whole run. 0 = no cap.

## `proxyConfiguration` (type: `object`):

Not needed for Prace.cz in our tests. Apify datacenter proxy or your own proxies only; residential proxy is not supported.

## Actor input object example

```json
{
  "keywords": [
    "řidič"
  ],
  "region": "jihomoravsky",
  "maxJobs": 20,
  "postedWithinDays": 0,
  "onlyNewJobs": false,
  "includeDetails": true,
  "descriptionFormat": "both",
  "maxJobsPerSearch": 0,
  "proxyConfiguration": {
    "useApifyProxy": false
  }
}
```

# Actor output Schema

## `results` (type: `string`):

One row per job, same columns on every board of this family. Download as CSV, Excel or JSON.

## `summary` (type: `string`):

Jobs saved per search, jobs skipped (duplicates, seen before, too old), pages read and why the run stopped early (if it did).

# API

You can run this Actor programmatically using our API. Below are code examples in JavaScript, Python, and CLI, as well as the OpenAPI specification and MCP server setup.

        }
    }
}
```

The hosted server signs you in with OAuth on first connect, so no API token belongs in this config. Clients without OAuth support can send an `Authorization: Bearer <APIFY_API_TOKEN>` header instead, using a token from API & Integrations in Apify Console (https://console.apify.com/settings/integrations).
