NHS UK Jobs Scraper

A high-performance Apify Actor for scraping job listings from jobs.nhs.uk.

Features

• Pay-Per-Event (PPE) Pricing: Uses minimal resources, charged efficiently based on usage.
• Strict Capping: Respects maxItems limits precisely to manage costs.

Input Configuration

Field	Type	Description	Default
startUrl	String	A valid NHS Jobs search URL (e.g., filtered by location/keyword).	(Example URL)
maxItems	Integer	Maximum number of items to scrape. Stops fetching pages once reached.	100

Pricing Logic

The actor calculates a safe maxItems limit based on your ACTOR_MAX_TOTAL_CHARGE_USD budget to ensure you never overspend.

🆓 Free tier limitations

We want you to see how this actor works before you commit. To keep things fair for everyone, the free tier usually includes these trial limits:

• Sample data: up to 5 listings per run—enough to check data quality.
• Daily cap: 5 runs per calendar day (UTC).
• Between runs: at least 30 minutes before you can start another run.

Limits can change with platform load depending on system load and your intended scraping to prevent what we might interpret as free users abuse.

Upgrade when you're ready!

Use the free tier to decide if this actor fits your project. Paid Apify plans remove these wait times and caps so you can run at full volume—upgrade to a paid plan.
