Actors are a software tools running on the Apify platform, for all kinds of web data extraction and automation use cases. 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. In JavaScript/TypeScript projects, use official [JavaScript/TypeScript client](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/js/docs.md): ```bash npm install apify-client ``` In Python projects, use official [Python client library](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/python/docs.md): ```bash pip install apify-client ``` In shell scripts, use [Apify CLI](https://docs.apify.com/cli/docs.md): ````bash # MacOS / Linux curl -fsSL https://apify.com/install-cli.sh | bash # Windows irm https://apify.com/install-cli.ps1 | iex ```bash In AI frameworks, you might use the [Apify MCP server](https://docs.apify.com/integrations/mcp.md). If your project is in a different language, use the [REST API](https://docs.apify.com/api/v2.md). For usage examples, see the [API](#api) section below.

Jobsite.co.uk is one of the United Kingdom's largest online job boards, hosting hundreds of thousands of active vacancies across all industries and career levels. From entry-level positions to executive roles, Jobsite connects employers with job seekers nationwide. Extracting structured data from Jobsite listings manually is labour-intensive and error-prone — the **Jobsite Jobs Scraper** automates this process, delivering clean, standardised records ready for analysis or integration. --- ### Overview The **Jobsite Jobs Scraper** extracts comprehensive job listings from Jobsite.co.uk search pages and detail pages, converting unstructured HTML into structured JSON records. It is designed for: - **Job aggregators** building multi-source job feeds and comparison platforms - **Recruiters and HR teams** monitoring market trends and competitor activity - **Labour market researchers** studying UK employment demand and salary patterns - **Career coaches** and advisors tracking industry-specific job growth - **Data analysts** building dashboards on hiring volume, skills demand, and regional opportunities Key strengths include configurable item limits, robust error handling with optional URL failure tolerance, and comprehensive output covering job details, company info, salary data, skills, and posting metadata. --- ### Input Format The scraper accepts a straightforward JSON configuration: ```json { "urls": [ "https://www.jobsite.co.uk/jobs/admin", "https://www.jobsite.co.uk/jobs/marketing" ], "max_items_per_url": 200, "ignore_url_failures": true } ```` #### Input Parameters | Field | Type | Description | Example | |---|---|---|---| | `urls` | Array | URLs of Jobsite job listing pages to scrape. Supports category pages (e.g., `/jobs/admin`), search result pages, or filtered lists. | `["https://www.jobsite.co.uk/jobs/admin"]` | | `max_items_per_url` | Integer | Maximum number of job listings to extract per URL. Useful for controlling data volume and scraper runtime. | `200` | | `ignore_url_failures` | Boolean | If `true`, the scraper continues running if some URLs fail; if `false`, stops on first error. Recommended `true` for bulk runs. | `true` | > **Best practice:** Start with `max_items_per_url: 50-100` for testing, then increase for production runs. Use category or filtered URLs (not the homepage) to target specific job types. *** ### Output Format #### Example Output Record ```json { "id": 107707362, "title": "Admin", "labels": [], "url": "/tp-out?urlfragment=%2Fjob%2Fadmin%2Fjob-talent-job107707362%3FsearchCriteria%3DAdmin%26src%3Dsearch%26position%3D1%26source%3Djobsite%26WT.mc_id%3DA_PT_CrossBrand_Jobsite%26page%3D1", "company_id": 236510, "company_name": "Job&Talent", "company_url": "https://www.jobsite.co.uk/jobs/jobtalent?cmpId=236510&q=Job%26Talent&cmp=1", "company_logo_url": "https://www.totaljobs.com/CompanyLogos/68d5d7065d9743f687c6e38ba0d15a87.png", "date_posted": "2026-07-17T12:53:54.483Z", "location": "Roestock, Hatfield (AL10), AL10 9TQ", "is_anonymous": false, "salary": "Up to £14.45 per hour", "post_code": "AL10 9TQ", "partnership": { "is_partnership_job": false, "show_partnership_label": false, "is_backfilled": true, "source_site_friendly_name": "Totaljobs.com", "is_cross_posted": false }, "unified_salary": null, "work_from_home": "", "meta_data": { "position_on_page": 1, "position_absolute": 1 }, "harmonised_id": "8a6e7ccf-5c65-481e-9792-fbce97285f43", "job_posting_sequence": 1, "period_posted_date": "2026-07-17T12:53:54.483Z", "publish_from_date": "2026-07-17T12:53:54.483Z", "publish_to_date": "2026-08-14T12:53:54.483Z", "has_future_posting": false, "fingerprint_count": 1, "section": "main", "top_labels": [ { "label": "NEW", "type": "NEW" } ], "skills": [], "text_snippet": "At Job&Talent, we are recruiting for an Admin Transport to work with a leading company in the food production sector in Hatfield.

Set `max_items_per_url` based on how many listings you need (start with 50-100 for testing). 3. **Enable error tolerance** — Set `ignore_url_failures: true` to allow the scraper to skip problematic URLs without stopping the entire run. 4. **Run the scraper** — Start the actor and monitor progress in the log. The scraper will traverse listings and extract structured data. 5. **Export results** — Download the output as JSON, CSV, or Excel for analysis, import into databases, or feed into pipelines. **Common tips:** - Use category-specific URLs (e.g., `/jobs/marketing`) rather than broad search pages for cleaner, more targeted results. - If scraping multiple pages, stagger runs to avoid overloading the server; set reasonable `max_items_per_url` limits. - Check `salary` and `unified_salary` fields together — salary may vary in format, but `unified_salary` provides a numeric value for analysis. *** ### Use Cases & Business Value - **Job market intelligence:** Track hiring volume, salary trends, and skills demand by industry and region - **Competitive recruitment:** Monitor competitor job postings, benefits, and compensation packages - **Job aggregation:** Build multi-source job boards combining Jobsite with other platforms - **Labour research:** Analyse UK employment trends, emerging skills, and industry growth patterns - **Recruiter tools:** Automate lead generation by identifying hiring companies and roles - **Career analytics:** Study wage progression, role availability, and job market health By automating data extraction, the Jobsite Jobs Scraper converts Jobsite's vast job database into actionable insights, eliminating hours of manual work and enabling data-driven hiring and market research decisions. *** ### Conclusion The **Jobsite.co.uk Jobs Scraper** is a powerful tool for anyone needing large-scale, structured UK job data. With 32+ output fields covering job details, company information, salary, skills, and posting metadata, it delivers everything needed to build job aggregators, conduct labour market research, or power recruitment analytics.
