FINN.no Jobs Scraper 🇳🇴💼

Extract structured job listings from FINN.no, Norway's largest classifieds marketplace and a major source of public Norwegian job ads.

Use this actor to collect job titles, companies, locations, published dates, application deadlines, salaries when shown, easy-apply flags, descriptions, and listing URLs from public FINN.no job search pages.

What does FINN.no Jobs Scraper do?

FINN.no Jobs Scraper turns public FINN.no job search pages into clean dataset rows.

It can:

• 🔎 Search by keyword such as sykepleier, developer, or marketing
• 🔗 Accept direct FINN.no /job/search URLs with filters
• 📄 Paginate through search results until your maxItems limit is reached
• 🧾 Fetch job detail pages for descriptions and richer metadata
• 📍 Capture location and coordinate data when FINN.no provides it
• 💰 Capture salary or hourly wage fields when visible on the job ad
• ✅ Detect easy-apply listings
• 📦 Export results as JSON, CSV, Excel, XML, RSS, or HTML table from Apify

Who is it for?

This scraper is useful for several personas:

• Recruiters monitoring competitors and high-demand roles
• Staffing agencies building Norwegian vacancy intelligence
• Job aggregators collecting fresh listings for downstream products
• Labor-market analysts tracking hiring trends by company, title, and region
• HR teams benchmarking advertised salaries and open roles
• Data teams feeding dashboards, alerts, and NLP pipelines

Why use this actor?

• 🔁 Repeatable runs for scheduled monitoring
• 🧠 Optional full descriptions for AI classification and enrichment

How much does it cost to scrape FINN.no jobs?

The actor uses pay-per-event pricing.

You pay a small start fee per run and a per-result fee for each saved job listing. Exact live pricing is shown on the Apify Store page before you run the actor.

Tips for keeping costs low:

• Start with a small maxItems value
• Turn off includeDetails if search-result fields are enough
• Use a specific keyword or filtered FINN.no URL
• Schedule smaller recurring runs instead of one very broad run

Search tips

• Use Norwegian keywords for best coverage.
• Paste filtered FINN.no URLs when you need region, occupation, or industry filters.
• Use PUBLISHED_DESC for monitoring fresh postings.
• Use RELEVANCE when exploring broad keywords.
• Keep maxItems low during test runs.

Detail page enrichment

When includeDetails is enabled, the actor visits each job ad URL and extracts additional public fields from JSON-LD and HTML labels.

This may include:

• Full description
• Application deadline
• Salary or hourly wage
• Employment type
• Sector
• Industry
• Job function
• Working languages
• Keywords

Disable detail fetching if you only need fast search-result metadata.

Data quality notes

FINN.no listings vary by employer. Some ads include salary, deadline, and detailed taxonomy; others omit one or more of those fields.

The actor returns null or an empty array when a public field is not present.

Troubleshooting

Why are salary fields empty?

Many employers do not publish salary ranges. The actor only returns salary when FINN.no shows it publicly.

Why did I get fewer items than requested?

Your keyword or filtered URL may have fewer public listings than maxItems, or FINN.no may cap paging for that query.

Should I enable detail pages?

Enable detail pages for descriptions and richer metadata. Disable them for faster, cheaper discovery runs.

Legality

This actor extracts publicly available job listing data from FINN.no. You are responsible for using the data in compliance with applicable laws, FINN.no terms, privacy rules, and your own legal obligations.

Do not scrape private account data, bypass access controls, or use the output for prohibited purposes.
