Input parameters

Parameter	Type	Required	Default	What it does
categorySlugs	array	yes	["technology"]	One or more PeoplePerHour category slugs to scrape, e.g.
maxPages	integer	no	5	Number of listing pages to read per category slug (about 20 jobs each).
maxItems	integer	no	100	The run stops after this many result rows.

Cost per 1,000 rows

$0.85 per 1,000 results. You pay per result row. There is no separate charge per run. Higher Apify plans pay less per result, down to $0.59 per 1,000.

Results	Cost at the listed price	Cost at the lowest plan price
100	$0.09	$0.06
1,000	$0.85	$0.59
10,000	$8.50	$5.95
100,000	$85.00	$59.50

The figures are the listed price times the number of results. The maxItems limit and the maximum cost setting in the run options both stop a run before it spends more than you planned.

Get the rows as CSV over HTTP

One request starts a run, waits for it and returns the dataset. The format parameter picks the file type and fields picks the columns. Replace the token with the one from Apify Console, Settings, Integrations.

curl -X POST "https://api.apify.com/v2/acts/v0iddo~peopleperhour-job-scraper/run-sync-get-dataset-items?format=csv&fields=jobId,title,budget" \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer YOUR_APIFY_TOKEN" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{"categorySlugs": ["technology"], "maxPages": 1, "maxItems": 20}'

Good to know

• Budget figures are in the job's own currency (GBP, USD or EUR). A budget of 0 or null means no fixed amount was set by the client.
• Job descriptions in listing pages may be truncated; the full text appears on the individual job page.
• Not affiliated with PeoplePerHour.
