## 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.

### How much does it cost to scrape Pracuj.pl?

This actor uses a browser-based approach (Playwright) due to Pracuj.pl's anti-bot protection. Estimated cost:

- **~5 compute units per 100 results** when scraping listing pages only
- **~10 compute units per 100 results** when fetching full job descriptions from detail pages
- At standard Apify pricing, that's roughly **$0.25-$0.50 per 100 jobs**

### Tips

- Start with a specific query and category to get the most relevant results
- Use `maxResults` to control costs during testing
- Residential proxies are recommended for large runs to avoid blocks
- The actor automatically paginates through all result pages

### FAQ and support

- **Is it legal?** This actor scrapes publicly available data from Pracuj.pl. Always respect the website's terms of service and use data responsibly.
- **Why residential proxies?** Pracuj.pl has anti-bot protection that may block datacenter IPs on large runs.
