BestJobs.eu Scraper — Romania Jobs, Salaries & Applicant Counts

Extract structured job listings from BestJobs.eu, one of Romania's biggest job platforms, with EU-wide postings. Search by keyword and location and get clean JSON/CSV with titles, companies, disclosed salaries, employer ratings and — unique to this board — how many candidates have already applied to each job.

Why use this scraper

• Applicant counts — every row carries applicationsCount, so you can see which jobs get 5 applicants and which get 500. No other field tells you more about competition on a posting.
• Employer ratings included — the company's BestJobs rating comes with each row.
• Verified location filter — an unrecognised location returns zero rows, never the national feed. You are never billed for jobs you did not ask for.
• Honest salary parsing — salaryMin, salaryMax and salaryCurrency are parsed from the posting; when the posting names no currency, the field is null — never guessed.
• Geo coordinates — locationDetails includes latitude/longitude when the board publishes them, ready for maps.
• Pure HTTP — no browser, fast, cheap.

Fields the posting does not include are null — this Actor never invents data.

How to run it

1. Set keywords (e.g. ["sofer"], ["developer"], ["asistent medical"]).
2. Optionally add locations, minSalary or onlyWithSalary.
3. Click Start and export the dataset as JSON, CSV or Excel.

Works out of the box: the default input (keywords: ["developer"], maxItems: 100) runs successfully with no changes.

Input parameters

Field	Type	Default	Description
keywords	array	["developer"]	Search terms.
locations	array	—	Location names, e.g. ["Bucuresti", "Cluj"].
maxItems	integer	100	Cap on returned jobs.
onlyWithSalary	boolean	false	Keep only postings with a disclosed salary.
minSalary	integer	—	Drop rows whose parsed salary is below this number.

Pricing

$3.00 per 1,000 jobs (pay per event, no subscription). Examples:

• 100 jobs → $0.30
• 500 jobs → $1.50
• Zero results (unrecognised keyword or location) → $0.00.

Use cases

• Competition analysis — sort by applicationsCount to find under-applied jobs worth applying to, or over-applied roles worth avoiding.
• Salary research — compare disclosed ranges across locations and roles.
• Job alerts — schedule daily runs and push new rows to Sheets, Slack or email.
• Recruitment intelligence — track hiring activity and employer ratings over time.
• AI agents — call this Actor as a tool through the Apify MCP server.

Limitations

• Returns only what BestJobs.eu publishes publicly — no candidate data, no login.
• Salary fields are null when the employer hides them.
• minSalary compares against the parsed salary; postings without any salary are dropped when it is set.

FAQ

How do I scrape BestJobs without coding? Run this Actor from the Apify Console — set keywords, press Start, export CSV.

What makes this different from other job scrapers? applicationsCount and employer rating — signals about demand and employer quality that job rows on other boards do not carry.

What happens on a typo'd location? Zero rows, zero cost. The location filter is verified: unknown places never fall back to the national feed.

Can I get only jobs that pay at least X? Yes — set minSalary (in the currency the postings use) or onlyWithSalary: true.
