## Pricing

from $0.34 / 1,000 job results

This Actor is paid per event. You are not charged for the Apify platform usage, but only a fixed price for specific events.
Since this Actor supports Apify Store discounts, the price gets lower the higher subscription plan you have.

## 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

## Bulldogjob Jobs Scraper

Scrape **Bulldogjob jobs** data from [bulldogjob.pl](https://bulldogjob.pl), a Polish IT job board, in the Apify app or through the Apify **API**, and get clean rows as JSON, CSV or Excel: **salaries per contract type**, **skills**, seniority, contract types, locations and company. It reads the site's own public pages.

### 🔎 What does Bulldogjob Jobs Scraper do?

- Searches bulldogjob.pl by technologies, cities, categories, experience level, contract type, work type and "with salary only", or reads any listing or offer URL you paste.
- Returns one row per offer. With `extractFullDetails` on, each offer's own page is read too: full description (text and HTML), benefits, languages and company profile.

### ⭐ Why this one

> **1️⃣ One schema across job portals.**
> All our job actors share one output schema and one input schema. Build your pipeline once: our other job actors ([Nofluffjobs](https://apify.com/datawatcher/nofluffjobs-scraper), [Aplikuj](https://apify.com/datawatcher/aplikuj-scraper), [Bluelionjob](https://apify.com/datawatcher/bluelionjob-scraper), [Hollylist](https://apify.com/datawatcher/hollylist-scraper), [Jobs-cz](https://apify.com/datawatcher/jobs-cz-scraper), [Just Join IT](https://apify.com/datawatcher/justjoin-scraper), [Pracuj](https://apify.com/datawatcher/pracuj-scraper), [Reed](https://apify.com/datawatcher/reed-scraper), [RocketJobs.pl](https://apify.com/datawatcher/rocketjobs-scraper), [Skillshot](https://apify.com/datawatcher/skillshot-scraper), [theprotocol.it](https://apify.com/datawatcher/theprotocol-scraper)) take the same input and return the same fields, so adding a portal means changing the actor name, not your code.

- **No start fee.** $0.40 per 1,000 job results, +$1.50 per 1,000 for offers whose detail page was read. The one other bulldogjob.pl scraper we found on the Store charges $9.99 per 1,000 results and a start fee.
- **Salaries per contract.** Each entry has `min`, `max`, `currency`, `period`, `contractType` and `grossNet`, one per contract type the offer pays under.
- **Filters buyers ask for:** technologies, locations, categories, experience level, contract type, work type and "with salary only". Or paste any bulldogjob.pl listing or offer URL.
- **Company data:** with details on, the employer's bulldogjob.pl profile is read too (size, active offers, history, address, website), once per company per run.

### 🚀 How to scrape Bulldogjob jobs

1. Open the actor on Apify and click **Try for free**.
2. Fill in technologies, cities and filters, or paste a bulldogjob.pl listing or offer URL into `startUrls`.
3. Click **Start**.
4. Download the **Bulldogjob jobs data** as JSON, CSV or Excel from the Output tab, or fetch it with the Apify API.

### Data

This actor returns only what the site shows publicly at run time. We don't store or keep that data and are not its controller — you decide how you use it.

This is an independent tool, not affiliated with or endorsed by bulldogjob.pl; trademarks belong to their owners. It reads only public job pages. You are responsible for following bulldogjob.pl's terms and data-protection law (GDPR and others).

### 🤖 Use with AI agents (MCP)

AI assistants (Claude, ChatGPT, Cursor…) can run this actor through Apify's MCP server. Connect the server in your assistant, then ask, for example:

```text
Use the Bulldogjob Jobs Scraper to find senior Python offers in Warszawa that show a salary. Show the 10 highest-paid, with company, salary, period and link.
```

### 🔌 Run it your way

- **Schedule it** with Apify schedules.
- **Call it from the Apify API** and its clients (Python, JavaScript).
- **Connect it** to Make, n8n, Zapier, webhooks or Google Sheets.
- **Ask an AI agent to run it**: see [Use with AI agents (MCP)](#-use-with-ai-agents-mcp).

### ⚙️ Input

Our job actors take the same inputs. Example: Python offers in Warszawa, mid or senior, with full details:

```json
{
  "searchQueries": ["Python"],
  "locations": ["Warszawa"],
  "experience": ["mid", "senior"],
  "maxResults": 50,
  "extractFullDetails": true
}
```

| Field | Default | Notes |
| --- | --- | --- |
| `maxResults` | `50` | Offers in total. `0` = no cap from this field (the run timeout still applies). Free plan users get at most 1,000 offers per run. bulldogjob.pl serves 50 offers per page |
| `startUrls` | – | bulldogjob.pl listing pages (`https://bulldogjob.pl/companies/jobs/s/city,Warszawa/role,backend`) or offer pages (`https://bulldogjob.pl/companies/jobs/257354-...`). A listing URL is read as that listing; an offer URL is read directly. The filters below still apply: rows that do not match are dropped |
| `searchQueries` | – | Technologies, one search per line, as bulldogjob.pl names them (Python, Java, React, SQL). For a role, use `categories`. Empty: no keyword filter |
| `locations` | – | `Warszawa`, `Kraków`, `Wrocław`, `Gdańsk`, `Łódź`, `Poznań`, `Katowice`, `Białystok`, `Rzeszów`, `Lublin`, `Remote`. Accents and case do not matter (Krakow = Kraków = KRAKÓW). Empty: anywhere |
| `categories` | – | `backend`, `frontend`, `fullstack`, `mobile`, `devops`, `data`, `ai-ml`, `testing`, `security`, `it-admin`, `support`, `embedded`, `gamedev`, `erp`, `architecture`, `project-management`, `product`, `ux-ui`, `business-analysis`, `sales`, `marketing`, `hr`, `finance`, `customer-service`, `engineering`, `production`, `logistics`, `legal`, `administration`, `consulting`, `education`, `healthcare`, `construction`, `hospitality` |
| `contractTypes` | – | `employment`, `b2b`, `mandate`, `specific-task`, `internship` |
| `workType` | – | `remote`, `hybrid`, `onsite`, `mobile` |
| `experience` | – | `intern`, `junior`, `mid`, `senior`, `expert`, `lead`, `manager`, `executive` |
| `withSalaryOnly` | `false` | Only offers that show a salary |
| `extractFullDetails` | `false` | Off: listing-level rows, cheaper and faster. On: each offer's own page (and its company, once per run) is read for the description, skills, benefits, languages and company details. An offer URL is read in full |
| `maxConcurrency` | `1` | Searches and detail pages processed in parallel |
| `maxRequestsPerMinute` | `60` | Request rate for the whole run |
| `proxyConfiguration` | off | Apify Proxy settings, useful when many detail pages are requested |
| `maxRequestRetries` | `2` | Retries after a failed request |

The site has no free-text search: a job title word finds nothing. Any other city gives a warning and no search. The site itself applies `withSalaryOnly` and `experience`: `intern`, `junior`, `mid`, `senior` and `lead` work, and `expert` is sent as `lead`. The site shows only employment, b2b and other contracts, so `mandate`, `specific-task` and `internship` are ignored (a warning says so). The site has no `mobile` work type: that value is ignored (a warning says so). The experience values `manager` and `executive` have no value on the site and are ignored. If only `manager` and `executive` are given, there is no search. Contract types and work types are applied to the rows after they arrive, not by the site. With details off, listing rows that cannot confirm `workType` are left out and counted in a run warning; turn on `extractFullDetails` to check them on each offer's page. A filter whose field the listing lacks still reads that offer's page to decide.

### 🧭 Input modes: what you give, what you get

One actor, six ways to use it. The mode follows from what you fill in.

| Mode | You give | Rows | Offer pages read |
| --- | --- | --- | --- |
| 🟢 **1. Default search** | nothing (empty input) | Newest offers, up to `maxResults` | Only with `extractFullDetails` on |
| 🔤 **2. Keyword search** | `searchQueries` | One search per technology | Only with `extractFullDetails` on |
| 🎛️ **3. Filtered search** | one or more filters, keywords optional | Offers the filters keep | Only with `extractFullDetails` on |
| 🔗 **4. Listing / search URL** | `startUrls` with a listing URL | That listing, as the site shows it | Only with `extractFullDetails` on |
| 📄 **5. One offer URL** | `startUrls` with an offer URL | That one offer | Yes (a full row either way) |
| 🧩 **6. URLs + filters** | `startUrls` plus filters | Only rows matching the filters | Offer URLs; listed offers only with `extractFullDetails` on |

Minimal input for each mode (real inputs from our test runs). Add `"extractFullDetails": true` to any of them for full rows.

#### 🟢 1. Default search

```json
{"maxResults": 3}
```

#### 🔤 2. Keyword search

```

#### 🧩 6. URLs + filters

```json
{"startUrls": [{"url": "https://bulldogjob.pl/companies/jobs"}, {"url": "https://bulldogjob.pl/companies/jobs/261152-staff-lead-front-end-engineer-edinburgh-prague-dublin-amsterdam-berlin-buenos-aires-krakow-mimica"}], "withSalaryOnly": true, "maxResults": 3}

Missing data is `null`, never a guess.

**Run status.** After each run, open the run's key-value store (Storage tab) to see how it went:

- **`RUN_HEALTH`**: `ok`, or `degraded` with the reason (no rows, a failed request, a warning, or a row that broke a data rule).
- **`RUN_SUMMARY`**: the run's numbers: rows, requests, retries, failed requests, warnings and billed events.

### 💰 Pricing (Pay-Per-Event)

| Event | Price | Trigger |
| --- | --- | --- |
| Job result (`job-scraped`) | $0.40 per 1,000 | One job offer returned by the Actor |
| Job details (`job-details-scraped`) | $1.50 per 1,000 | Additional charge for a job offer whose detail page was read |

There is no start fee: a run costs only the results it returns.

Free plan: each run returns up to 1,000 results.

### 🎯 Use cases

- Track new IT openings for a technology on a daily schedule.
- Compare pay by contract type, city and experience level.
- Market research: which technologies and seniority levels are in demand.
- Lead lists of hiring companies.
- Run the same pipeline over several Polish job portals, since they share one schema.

### 🩺 If a run fails

The run health (the `RUN_HEALTH` record, `RUN_SUMMARY` and the last line of the log) names the cause, for example `site down: list request answered 500 x3`. Find that start of the message in the table.

| Error in the log / run health | What it means | What you do |
|---|---|---|
| `site down: <request> answered 500, 502-504, 520-526` | The site is offline or has a fault. The actor waits longer between tries, then stops the run. | Try again later. |
| `blocked: <request> answered 401, 403, 1020` or a captcha page | The site refused the request or showed a captcha page. | The actor already retries once through the Apify proxy. If it still fails, turn on the Apify proxy in the input (use the RESIDENTIAL group if it is already on). |
| `rate limited: <request> answered 429` | The site asks for fewer requests. The actor waits and slows down by itself. | If it keeps happening, lower `maxRequestsPerMinute`. |
| `gone: <request> answered 404, 410` | The page or offer was removed. The actor skips it and it is not charged. | Nothing; this is normal. |
| `network error: <request> failed with timeout` (or connection error, DNS error) | A timeout or a broken connection. The actor retries with a pause. | Try again later. |
| `wrong answer: <request> returned HTML instead of JSON` (or an empty body) | The site answered with a page that is not data (HTML instead of JSON, an empty body). The site has probably changed. | Report it in the Issues tab; we fix it. |

### ❓ FAQ

#### How many jobs can I get per run?

As many as `maxResults` says. On the free plan a run returns up to 1,000 results. bulldogjob.pl serves 50 offers per page, and the actor follows the pages until it has enough.

#### How do I export Bulldogjob jobs to Excel or CSV?

Run the actor, open the Output tab and pick Excel or CSV in the export options. JSON, XML and HTML are there too, and the Apify API returns the same data.

#### How do I get Bulldogjob salary data?

Offer rows have a `salaries` list with `min`, `max`, `currency`, `period`, `contractType` and `grossNet`. Turn on `withSalaryOnly` to keep only offers that show pay.

#### How do I find jobs by role?

Use `categories` (for example `backend` or `data`) for a role, and `searchQueries` for a technology as bulldogjob.pl names it (Python, Java, React, SQL).

#### Can I combine it with other portals?

Yes. All our job actors share one output schema and one input schema, so rows from different portals fit one table. See the list below.

# Changelog

This Actor's version history is a separate document: https://apify.com/datawatcher/bulldogjob-scraper/changelog.md

# Actor input Schema

## `maxResults` (type: `integer`):

Maximum number of offers returned, in total. 0 = no limit (the run timeout still applies). Free plan Apify users get at most 1000 offers per run, whatever is set here (paying users have no cap). bulldogjob.pl serves 50 offers per page.

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

URLs from which the actor starts scraping, instead of a search: a listing/search URL is read as that listing, a specific offer URL is read directly. locations, categories, contractTypes, workType, experience and withSalaryOnly still apply: rows that do not match are dropped. searchQueries is not applied (a warning says so). bulldogjob.pl listing pages (https://bulldogjob.pl/companies/jobs/s/city,Warszawa/role,backend) or offer pages (https://bulldogjob.pl/companies/jobs/257354-...).

## `searchQueries` (type: `array`):

Keywords to search for, one search per line (a technology or a job title). Empty - every offer. bulldogjob.pl has no free-text search: give technologies as it names them (Python, Java, React, SQL); a job title word finds nothing.

## `locations` (type: `array`):

Only offers in these cities, written as normal city names; accents and case do not matter (Krakow = Kraków = KRAKÓW). A city the portal does not know gives a warning and no search for it, never an unfiltered search. Empty - anywhere. bulldogjob.pl knows only its own cities: Warszawa, Kraków, Wrocław, Gdańsk, Łódź, Poznań, Katowice, Białystok, Rzeszów, Lublin and Remote; any other city gives a warning and no search.

## `categories` (type: `array`):

Only offers in these categories (the output's `categories[].value` values). Empty - all.

## `contractTypes` (type: `array`):

Only offers that allow one of these contracts (the output's `contractTypes` values). Empty - all. bulldogjob.pl has no contract filter: applied to the rows after they arrive, not by the site. It shows only employment, b2b and other contracts: `mandate`, `specific-task` and `internship` are ignored (a warning says so); with only such values, no search is made.

## `workType` (type: `array`):

Only offers with one of these work types (the output's `workType[].type` values). Empty - all. bulldogjob.pl cannot filter by work type: applied to the rows after they arrive, not by the site. It has no `mobile`: that value is ignored (a warning says so); with only that value, no search is made.

## `experience` (type: `array`):

Only offers for these experience levels (the output's `experience.levels[].value` values). Empty - all. bulldogjob.pl filters by intern, junior, mid, senior and lead; `expert` is sent as lead. `manager` and `executive` have no site level: they are ignored (a warning says so); with only such values, no search is made.

## `withSalaryOnly` (type: `boolean`):

Only offers that show a salary (the output's `salaries` is not empty). Off - all offers.

## `extractFullDetails` (type: `boolean`):

Fetch each offer's own page (and its company once per run) and return the full data: the description, skills, benefits, languages, company details. Off - listing-level data only, cheaper and faster. An offer start URL is always read. A filter whose field the listing lacks still reads that offer's page to decide.

## `maxConcurrency` (type: `integer`):

Maximum number of searches/details processed in parallel.

## `maxRequestsPerMinute` (type: `integer`):

Maximum HTTP request rate, for the whole run.

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

Proxy settings, especially useful when many detail pages are requested.

## `maxRequestRetries` (type: `integer`):

Number of retries after a failed HTTP request.

## Actor input object example

```json
{
  "maxResults": 10,
  "searchQueries": [
    "Python"
  ],
  "withSalaryOnly": false,
  "extractFullDetails": false,
  "maxConcurrency": 1,
  "maxRequestsPerMinute": 60,
  "proxyConfiguration": {
    "useApifyProxy": false
  },
  "maxRequestRetries": 2
}
```

# Actor output Schema

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

One row per item; a search that failed completely adds one unbilled recordType "diagnostic" row.

## `runSummary` (type: `string`):

Rows, requests and budget, retries, failures, early stop, warnings, billing events, data-rule problems.

## `runHealth` (type: `string`):
