## 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

### What does Kariyer.net Scraper do?

**Kariyer.net Scraper** extracts job listings from [Kariyer.net](https://www.kariyer.net), Turkey's largest and oldest job portal with millions of active job postings. The scraper searches for jobs by keyword, location, and category, then returns structured data from each search result: job title, company, city, work type and work model, the company's sector, posting age and the ad URL.

Run it on the Apify platform to get **API access, scheduling, proxy rotation, webhook integrations, and monitoring** out of the box. No login or cookies required -- all data is extracted from publicly available job listings.

### Why use Kariyer.net Scraper?

- **Market research**: Analyze the Turkish job market by sector, city and demand for specific skills across all industries.
- **Recruitment intelligence**: Monitor competitor hiring patterns across Turkey's largest talent marketplace.
- **Job aggregation**: Feed Turkish job listings into your own job board, aggregator platform, or HR dashboard.
- **Academic research**: Study employment trends, skill demand, and labor market dynamics in Turkey.
- **Lead generation**: Identify actively hiring companies in Turkey for B2B outreach and recruitment services.
- **Talent analytics**: Track which skills are in demand across Turkish cities and industries over time.
- **Cross-border hiring**: Source Turkish talent for international companies expanding into the Turkish market.

### How to scrape Kariyer.net data

1. Go to the Kariyer.net Scraper page on Apify Store.
2. Click **Try for free** to open the Actor in Apify Console.
3. Enter your search keyword (e.g. "yazilim", "muhendis", "pazarlama", or any Turkish job title).
4. Optionally set a location (Istanbul, Ankara, Izmir, etc.) and job category.

#### Example input

```json
{
    "searchQuery": "yazilim",
    "location": "Istanbul",
    "maxResults": 50,
    "proxyConfiguration": {
        "useApifyProxy": true,
        "apifyProxyGroups": ["RESIDENTIAL"],
        "apifyProxyCountry": "TR"
    }
}
```

### Output

The scraper outputs structured JSON data for each job listing. You can download the dataset in various formats such as JSON, HTML, CSV, or Excel.

#### Example output

```json
{
    "jobTitle": "Technical Architect",
    "company": "Turkcell ve Grup Şirketleri",
    "location": "İstanbul(Asya)",
    "salary": "",
    "employmentType": "Tam zamanlı, Hibrit",
    "category": "Telekomünikasyon",
    "postedDate": "8 gün",
    "jobDescription": "",
    "url": "https://www.kariyer.net/is-ilani/turkcell-ve-grup-sirketleri-technical-architect-4554161",
    "scrapedAt": "2026-09-19T09:11:43.827Z"
}
```

### Data fields

| Field | Description |
|-------|-------------|
| `jobTitle` | Job position title |
| `company` | Hiring company name |
| `location` | City as Kariyer.net shows it, e.g. `İstanbul(Asya)`, `Ankara` |
| `salary` | Salary if the search card shows one. Kariyer.net search results almost never carry a salary, so this is usually empty. |
| `employmentType` | Employment type (full-time, part-time, remote, hybrid, etc.) |
| `category` | The hiring company's sector as Kariyer.net lists it |
| `postedDate` | Age of the ad as Kariyer.net shows it (`Bugün`, `3 gün`) |
| `jobDescription` | Empty: the description lives on the ad page, which this actor does not open. The `url` field links to it. |
| `url` | Direct link to the job listing on Kariyer.net |
| `scrapedAt` | ISO 8601 timestamp of data collection |

### How much does it cost to scrape Kariyer.net?

You pay per result, at the price on the Pricing tab. Behind that, the actor opens Kariyer.net's search pages in a real browser through Turkish residential proxies. One results page holds about 50 ads and takes 15 to 45 seconds to load.

- **Keyword search**: one page per ~50 results. A 5-result run measured $0.06 of platform usage in total, most of it browser start-up.
- **Keyword plus city**: ads outside the city are read and skipped, so a small city can take several pages per ad kept. The actor stops after 40 results pages.
- **Run length**: 100 results usually finish in 1 to 3 minutes.

Start with a small run (10-50 results) to verify the output, then scale up.

### Tips and advanced options

- **Use Turkish keywords** for broader results. Many listings are in Turkish only (e.g. "yazilim" instead of "software", "muhendis" instead of "engineer", "muhasebe" instead of "accounting", "pazarlama" instead of "marketing").
- **Set `maxResults`** to control costs. Start small (10-50) to verify the output, then scale up.
- **Location filtering** works for any Turkish city or district name. Kariyer.net has no URL that combines a keyword with a city, so the city is sent as an extra search term and every ad is then checked against its own city; ads elsewhere are skipped. A small city can therefore return fewer ads than `maxResults`, and the run's status message says how many. Use "remote" for remote-only jobs (matched on the ad's work model).
- **Category** is sent to Kariyer.net as an extra search term (for example `finance` adds `finans`), which narrows the results the same way the site's search box does.
- **Schedule runs** to track new job listings daily or weekly using Apify's built-in scheduler.
- **Combine with other scrapers** to build a comprehensive Turkish job market dataset.
- **Proxy**: the default is Apify residential proxies in Turkey. If you send a proxy object without a country, the actor keeps the Turkish default for the missing part.
- **Run cost settles on success**: the usage cost of a run is final only once the run has SUCCEEDED.

### FAQ and support

#### Is it legal to scrape Kariyer.net?

This scraper extracts only publicly available job listing data that any visitor can see without logging in. It does not access private data, bypass authentication, or violate GDPR. Always review the website's Terms of Service before large-scale scraping and ensure your use case complies with applicable Turkish and EU laws.

#### The scraper returns 0 results

- Make sure your search query matches actual job listings on Kariyer.net. Try common Turkish job titles like "yazilim", "muhasebe", "muhendis", "pazarlama".
- Try broader search terms or remove location/category filters.
- Ensure residential proxies are enabled with Turkey as the proxy country.
- The site may temporarily block automated access -- try again after a few minutes.

#### Can I get custom modifications?

Yes. If you need additional fields, different output formats, or integration with your systems, open an issue in the **Issues** tab or contact us for a custom solution.

#### How often should I run this scraper?

Kariyer.net updates listings continuously. For most use cases, running once daily or weekly is sufficient. Use Apify's scheduler to automate recurring runs.

# Actor input Schema

## `searchQuery` (type: `string`):

Job search keyword (e.g. 'yazilim', 'muhasebe', 'muhendis', 'pazarlama'). Supports Turkish and English. If both this and Location are empty, the actor searches 'yazilim' (software). If only Location is set, it returns all jobs in that location.

## `location` (type: `string`):

City or district name (e.g. 'Istanbul', 'Ankara', 'Izmir', 'Kadikoy'), or 'remote'. Sent to Kariyer.net as an extra search term, then every ad is checked against its own city and ads elsewhere are skipped, so a small city can return fewer ads than Max Results. Leave empty for all Turkey.

## `category` (type: `string`):

Job category, sent to Kariyer.net as an extra search term (e.g. Finance adds 'finans'), which narrows the results the way the site's search box does. Leave empty for all categories.

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

Maximum number of job listings to scrape.

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

Proxy settings. Turkish residential proxies recommended for reliable scraping.

## Actor input object example

```json
{
  "searchQuery": "yazilim",
  "category": "",
  "maxResults": 5,
  "proxyConfiguration": {
    "useApifyProxy": true,
    "apifyProxyGroups": [
      "RESIDENTIAL"
