CWJobs Real-Time Data

Live UK tech job listings from CWJobs, structured and streaming. Search by keyword and location, follow companies, enrich full descriptions, or refresh saved URLs — every record lands in your dataset the moment it is finalized, with optional real-time webhook delivery.

Free-trial notice: on the Apify free plan each run returns a 2-result sample. Upgrade to a paid Apify plan for full, unlimited data.

Who it is for

Recruiters and sourcers building live UK tech pipelines, startup researchers tracking who is hiring, job-board aggregators, salary-benchmarking analysts, and agencies feeding CRMs with fresh openings.

Use cases

• Track live openings per role and city (e.g. DevOps in Manchester, Data roles in London)
• Watch target employers and get alerted to new postings
• Benchmark advertised salaries across regions and seniorities
• Feed Sheets/CRM/Slack with new matches via webhook as they stream
• Refresh a saved shortlist of postings on a schedule
• Power AI agents that answer “who is hiring for X in Y right now?”

Output fields

Each dataset row: featureType, jobId, title, company, companyLogo, location, salary (+ salaryMin, salaryMax, salaryCurrency, salaryPeriod), snippet, postedAt, postedText, employmentType, descriptionText (with full-details on), detailsFetched, jobUrl, searchQuery, searchLocation, position, source, scrapedAt.

The OUTPUT value summarizes the run: totalPushed, enabledFeatures, errors, spendingLimitReached, and a paywall transparency object.

Webhooks (JSON + Slack)

Set webhookUrl to also push every record in real time — your CRM automation URL, a Slack incoming webhook, Zapier, Make, or Sheets. Choose webhookFormat json (full record) or slack (readable message). Delivery is fire-and-forget: a failing webhook never stops the run, and the dataset always has every row.

MCP / AI-agent usage

Pair with the Apify MCP server: point your agent at this Actor and ask, for example:

“Find live DevOps Engineer jobs in Manchester on CWJobs and send me the top 5 with salaries.”

The agent starts a run with jobKeywords: ["DevOps Engineer"], jobLocation: "Manchester", reads the dataset rows, and summarizes.

FAQ

• Which proxy should I use? Residential proxies default to GB on the platform — they give the freshest UK results. Local runs use the same routing via env config.
• How much of the free plan can I use? Free-plan runs return a 2-result sample per run; paid plans are uncapped.
• How fresh is the data? Every run collects live listings at run time — what you see on CWJobs now is what lands in your dataset.
• Does full-details slow things down? It adds a little extra time per record to enrich full descriptions; the same rows are exported either way.
• Why is a row missing its description? The fast card is always exported; if the full view was momentarily unavailable the row still lands with detailsFetched: false.
