What Is Robota.ua?

Robota.ua is Ukraine's largest and most-visited job portal, hosting hundreds of thousands of active job listings across all industries and regions. The platform enables employers to post opportunities and job seekers to search by category, location, and experience level. Manually collecting and organizing this data is tedious — the Robota.ua Jobs Search Scraper automates the extraction of structured job records from search results pages, enabling bulk data analysis and integration into recruitment workflows.

  ],
  "ignore_url_failures": true,
  "max_items_per_url": 20
}

Input Parameters Explained

How to Use

1. Find search URLs — Go to Robota.ua, apply filters (category, city, salary, schedule), and copy the resulting URL.
2. Add pagination — To collect more listings, create multiple URLs with different page numbers (page=1, page=2, etc.).
3. Configure input — Paste URLs into the urls array. Set max_items_per_url to limit records per page (e.g., 20, 50, or 100).
4. Enable error handling — Set ignore_url_failures: true for large bulk runs to skip temporarily unavailable pages.
5. Run the scraper — Start the actor and monitor progress in the log.
6. Export data — Download results as JSON, CSV, or Excel for analysis or database import.

Best practices:

• Test with 1–2 URLs first to verify data quality before running large batches.
• Use specific search filters to reduce noise (e.g., filter by salary range, experience level).
• Set reasonable max_items_per_url limits to avoid excessive runtime (20–50 is typical).
• For multi-page collection, increase the page parameter gradually rather than requesting all pages at once.
