## What's an Apify Actor?

Actors are web data automations that power AI and operations. They run on the Apify platform to scrape websites, process data, connect APIs, and automate workflows.
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.

- **AI agents and MCP clients** — the [Apify MCP server](https://docs.apify.com/integrations/mcp.md) at `https://mcp.apify.com` (remote, streamable HTTP, OAuth on first use).
- **Agentic workflows and local Actor development** — [Agent Skills](https://apify.com/.well-known/agent-skills/index.json) with the [Apify CLI](https://docs.apify.com/cli/docs.md): `npm install -g apify-cli`, then `apify login`.
- **JavaScript/TypeScript projects** — the official [JS/TS client](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/js/docs.md): `npm install apify-client`.
- **Python projects** — the official [Python client](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/python/docs.md): `pip install apify-client`.
- **Any other language** — the [REST API](https://docs.apify.com/api/v2.md).

For usage examples, see the [API](#api) section below.

# README

## BestJobs.eu Scraper

![BestJobs.eu Scraper](https://api.apify.com/v2/key-value-stores/ClElVyZWvQgPQIuDL/records/bestjobs-scraper)

Extract job listings from bestjobs.eu at scale, in a clean, consistent structure ready for analysis, job boards, recruiting tools and market research. No API key required.

***

### Why this scraper?

#### 🎯 Built for Romania

A dedicated Romanian scraper, not a global tool with a country dropdown. Search and locations are tuned for bestjobs.eu.

#### 📄 Complete job data

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

#### 💶 Salary data

Salary parsed from the listing where the employer publishes it, with the currency reported in `salaryCurrency` (often EUR). Missing salaries are returned as `null`, never guessed.

#### 🏢 Company details

Hiring company name plus the profile details the source publishes, such as logo and company page.

#### 🔁 Repost & change detection

Every record carries `isRepost` and `changeStatus`, so daily feeds return genuinely new jobs instead of reposted duplicates.

***

### 💰 Pricing

**$1.5 per 1,000 results** — you only pay for successfully retrieved listings. Failed retries are never charged.

| Results | Cost |
|---|---|
| 100 | ~$0.15 |
| 1,000 | ~$1.5 |
| 10,000 | ~$15 |
| 100,000 | ~$150 |

> Flat-rate alternatives typically charge $29–$49/month regardless of usage.

Subscription tiers lower the rate further, down to $0.9 per 1,000 at the highest tier. Use the **Max results** cap in the input to control your spend exactly.

***

### Performance

|---|---|
| 100 results | under 1 minute |
| 1,000 results | 2–4 minutes |
| 10,000 results | 20–35 minutes |

***

### 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

- **Source:** bestjobs.eu — Romania job listings
- **Coverage:** everything the public search exposes, filterable via the input parameters above
- **Retry:** automatic retry on network errors with exponential backoff

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).
