MyCareersFuture Singapore Jobs Scraper

Collect public Singapore job listings from MyCareersFuture as clean JSON, CSV, Excel, XML, or RSS data. Search by title or skill, filter structured records, and export salaries, employer UENs, skills, dates, vacancies, locations, and public job URLs.

The Actor talks directly to the public MyCareersFuture JSON service. It needs no login, cookie, browser, proxy, or external API key. Start with software engineer and ten jobs to review the dataset in under a minute.

What does MyCareersFuture Singapore Jobs Scraper do?

MyCareersFuture Singapore Jobs Scraper searches and paginates current listings on Singapore's public MyCareersFuture portal. It turns each listing into one analysis-ready row with normalized text and flattened fields.

Use it to:

• 🔎 search job titles, skills, descriptions, and employers;
• 💰 compare advertised SGD salary ranges;
• 🏢 identify employers by company name and Singapore UEN;
• 🧰 collect skills, categories, seniority, and employment types;
• 📍 map jobs by address, district, region, postal code, and coordinates;
• 📅 monitor posting, update, and expiry dates;
• 🔗 retain the public job page and API record links.

Unlike browser automation, the Actor uses lightweight HTTP requests to the structured source. That makes scheduled collection fast, stable, and inexpensive.

How much does it cost to scrape MyCareersFuture jobs?

This Actor uses pay-per-event pricing. A run has a small start fee and a price for each job saved successfully. There is no separate proxy, browser, or API subscription charge.

Apify plan	Start	Per saved job
Free	$0.005	$0.000024783
Starter / Bronze	$0.005	$0.00002155
Scale / Silver	$0.005	$0.000016809
Business / Gold	$0.005	$0.00001293

At the current rates, 100 jobs cost about $0.0075 on the Free tier and $0.0072 on Starter, including the start fee. One thousand jobs cost about $0.0298 on Free and $0.0266 on Starter. Higher Apify plans receive additional volume discounts.

Prices are visible before every run, and maxItems is a hard output cap. Start small to confirm that a query and filters fit your workflow.

How to scrape Singapore jobs from MyCareersFuture

1. Open MyCareersFuture Singapore Jobs Scraper.
2. Enter a job title, skill, company, or keyword in Search query.
3. Set Maximum jobs to the number of rows you need.
4. Optionally add a recency, salary, category, employment type, or UEN filter.
5. Click Start.
6. Review the Singapore job listings dataset view.
7. Export JSON, CSV, Excel, XML, or RSS, or connect the dataset to another system.

A minimal input is:

{
  "searchQuery": "software engineer",
  "sortBy": "newest",
  "maxItems": 10
}

A recent salary-focused search is:

{
  "searchQuery": "data analyst",
  "postedWithinDays": 30,
  "salaryMin": 5000,
  "maxItems": 100,
  "maxPages": 20
}

An employer monitor is:

{
  "companyUen": "201426535W",
  "sortBy": "newest",
  "postedWithinDays": 14,
  "maxItems": 200,
  "maxPages": 100
}

Input parameters

Parameter	Type	Default	Description
searchQuery	string	software engineer	Source-side keyword, title, skill, or employer search
maxItems	integer	50	Maximum matching jobs saved, from 1 to 10,000
sortBy	string	newest	newest or source relevance order
postedWithinDays	integer	unset	Keep parseable posting dates within 0–365 days
salaryMin	integer	unset	Salary band maximum must reach this SGD amount
salaryMax	integer	unset	Salary band minimum must not exceed this SGD amount

Category and employment filters use the labels published in each listing. Examples include Information Technology, Engineering, Full Time, Contract, Internship, and Part Time.

salaryMin and salaryMax test whether an advertised salary band overlaps the requested range. When a salary filter is active, jobs without numeric salary data are excluded.

Output example

  "jobPostId": "MCF-2026-1222459",
  "title": "Medical Social Worker - Nursing Home",
  "description": "Key Responsibilities\nIntake, Assessment and Admission Support...",
  "companyName": "THE SUPREME HR ADVISORY PTE. LTD.",
  "companyUen": "201426535W",
  "salaryMinimum": 5000,
  "salaryMaximum": 6500,
  "salaryType": "Monthly",
  "salaryCurrency": "SGD",
  "minimumYearsExperience": 2,
  "vacancies": 1,
  "status": "Open",
  "skills": ["Healthcare", "Social Work", "Case Management"],
  "categories": ["Social Services"],
  "employmentTypes": ["Full Time"],
  "positionLevels": ["Junior Executive"],
  "districts": ["Islandwide"],
  "regions": ["Islandwide"],
  "postedAt": "2026-07-16",
  "expiresAt": "2026-08-15",
  "sourceUrl": "https://www.mycareersfuture.gov.sg/job/...",
  "apiUrl": "https://api.mycareersfuture.gov.sg/v2/jobs/7ae80628786621c34bf2dc83ee2dc61c",
  "scrapedAt": "2026-07-16T06:00:00.000Z"
}

The exact available fields vary by employer and listing. For example, an islandwide role may not publish a street address or coordinates.

Filter behavior and pagination

Keyword search and newest ordering are sent to the public MyCareersFuture API. Salary, recency, category, employment type, and UEN filters are applied to structured records returned by that API.

The Actor scans 100 source records per page until one of these conditions is met:

• maxItems matching jobs have been saved;
• maxPages has been scanned;
• the source returns an empty page;
• the source-reported result total has been reached.

Sparse client-side filters may return fewer than maxItems when maxPages is low. Increase maxPages deliberately for a narrow employer or salary query.

Tips for better job datasets

• 🎯 Use specific skills such as Kubernetes, SAP, or registered nurse instead of a broad word like manager.
• 🧪 Begin with 10–50 jobs before requesting thousands.
• 📅 Combine sortBy: newest and postedWithinDays for monitoring.
• 🏢 Use a UEN instead of a company name when you need exact employer matching.
• 💰 Remember that source salary types can be monthly, annual, daily, or hourly.
• 🧹 Use stable uuid values to upsert jobs between scheduled runs.
• ⏳ Compare expiresAt with your previous dataset to remove closed listings.
• 📄 Enable raw HTML only when downstream formatting requires it.

Schedule a Singapore hiring monitor

Apify schedules can run this Actor hourly, daily, or weekly. A common monitoring workflow is:

1. Run every morning with sortBy: newest and postedWithinDays: 2.
2. Store or merge rows by uuid in a named dataset or database.
3. Compare the new UUID set with the previous run.
4. Send alerts only for unseen jobs or changed expiry and salary fields.

For one employer, add companyUen and increase maxPages enough to scan the relevant feed. For market-wide trends, schedule separate keyword or category tasks so each dataset has a clear purpose.

API usage: use the Apify API

Replace YOUR_APIFY_TOKEN with a token from Apify Console.

Node.js

import { ApifyClient } from 'apify-client';

const client = new ApifyClient({ token: process.env.APIFY_TOKEN });
const run = await client.actor('automation-lab/mycareersfuture-singapore-jobs-scraper').call({
    searchQuery: 'cybersecurity analyst',
    postedWithinDays: 30,
    maxItems: 100,
});
const { items } = await client.dataset(run.defaultDatasetId).listItems();
console.log(items);

Python

from apify_client import ApifyClient

client = ApifyClient(token="YOUR_APIFY_TOKEN")
run = client.actor("automation-lab/mycareersfuture-singapore-jobs-scraper").call(run_input={
    "searchQuery": "cybersecurity analyst",
    "postedWithinDays": 30,
    "maxItems": 100,
})
items = client.dataset(run["defaultDatasetId"]).list_items().items
print(items)

cURL

curl -X POST \
  "https://api.apify.com/v2/acts/automation-lab~mycareersfuture-singapore-jobs-scraper/run-sync-get-dataset-items?token=YOUR_APIFY_TOKEN" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{"searchQuery":"cybersecurity analyst","postedWithinDays":30,"maxItems":100}'

For long runs, start the Actor asynchronously through /runs and poll the returned run ID.

Use with AI agents via MCP

The Actor can be called by assistants that support the Model Context Protocol.

For Claude Code:

$claude mcp add --transport http apify "https://mcp.apify.com?tools=automation-lab/mycareersfuture-singapore-jobs-scraper"

For Claude Desktop, Cursor, or VS Code, add:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "apify": {
      "url": "https://mcp.apify.com?tools=automation-lab/mycareersfuture-singapore-jobs-scraper"
    }
  }
}

Authenticate with your Apify account when prompted. Then try asking:

• "Use automation-lab/mycareersfuture-singapore-jobs-scraper to find 50 new Singapore data engineer jobs and summarize salary bands."
• "Monitor UEN 201426535W for MyCareersFuture jobs posted in the last seven days."
• "Extract Singapore cybersecurity roles above SGD 6,000 and group their required skills."

Reliability and source limitations

The Actor retries temporary network errors four times with exponential backoff. Each request has a 20-second timeout, UUIDs are deduplicated, and unexpected API response shapes fail the run visibly.

MyCareersFuture controls the source data and API. Fields, taxonomies, totals, and availability can change without notice. The Actor does not infer hidden salaries, private application details, recruiter contact data, or unpublished employer information.

A valid search with no matching jobs may produce an empty dataset. A complete extraction failure returns a failed run instead of silently succeeding.

Legality: is it legal to scrape MyCareersFuture?

This Actor collects publicly accessible job-listing data without bypassing authentication. Web scraping laws and contractual obligations vary by jurisdiction and use case.

You are responsible for:

• using the data for a lawful purpose;
• respecting MyCareersFuture terms and applicable rate limits;
• handling personal data under Singapore's PDPA and other relevant privacy laws;
• avoiding spam, discrimination, or automated decisions that violate employment law;
• retaining only the data needed for your workflow.

When in doubt, seek professional legal advice. This documentation is not legal advice.

Troubleshooting

Why did the run return fewer jobs than maxItems?

Strict filters may reject many source rows before the page safety cap is reached. Check logs for scanned pages, loosen the filter, or increase maxPages. Also confirm that category and employment labels exactly match source values.

Why is a salary or address field missing?

The employer did not publish that field for the listing. When salary filtering is enabled, missing numeric salaries are excluded rather than guessed.

Why did the run fail after retries?

The public source may be temporarily unavailable or may have changed its response shape. Review the run log, retry later, and report reproducible failures with the input and run URL.

FAQ: frequently asked questions

How fast is the scraper?

It fetches up to 100 source records per HTTP request and does not launch a browser. Small keyword runs usually complete quickly; sparse filters take longer because more pages must be scanned.

Can I scrape every MyCareersFuture job?

Yes, within your chosen maxItems, maxPages, run timeout, and current source availability. For large snapshots, use no keyword, raise both limits deliberately, and schedule less frequently.

Does it need a Singapore proxy or MyCareersFuture login?

No. The current implementation reads an anonymously accessible public JSON endpoint directly.

How is this different from the official website?

The website is designed for interactive job search. This Actor adds bounded bulk pagination, normalized exports, strict filters, scheduling, API access, webhooks, and integrations.

Can I monitor changed jobs, not only new jobs?

Yes. Store prior rows by UUID and compare updatedAt, salary, status, vacancies, and expiresAt during each scheduled run.

Are application counts guaranteed?

No. The Actor returns the source's public count when present and does not estimate unavailable values.
