Actors are a software tools running on the Apify platform, for all kinds of web data extraction and automation use cases. In Batch mode, an Actor accepts a well-defined JSON input, performs an action which can take anything from a few seconds to a few hours, and optionally produces a well-defined JSON output, datasets with results, or files in key-value store. In Standby mode, an Actor provides a web server which can be used as a website, API, or an MCP server. Actors are written with capital "A". ## How to integrate an Actor? If asked about integration, you help developers integrate Actors into their projects. You adapt to their stack and deliver integrations that are safe, well-documented, and production-ready. The best way to integrate Actors is as follows. In JavaScript/TypeScript projects, use official [JavaScript/TypeScript client](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/js/docs.md): ```bash npm install apify-client ``` In Python projects, use official [Python client library](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/python/docs.md): ```bash pip install apify-client ``` In shell scripts, use [Apify CLI](https://docs.apify.com/cli/docs.md): ````bash # MacOS / Linux curl -fsSL https://apify.com/install-cli.sh | bash # Windows irm https://apify.com/install-cli.ps1 | iex ```bash In AI frameworks, you might use the [Apify MCP server](https://docs.apify.com/integrations/mcp.md). If your project is in a different language, use the [REST API](https://docs.apify.com/api/v2.md). For usage examples, see the [API](#api) section below. For more details, see Apify documentation as [Markdown index](https://docs.apify.com/llms.txt) and [Markdown full-text](https://docs.apify.com/llms-full.txt). # README ## 💼 Totaljobs Scraper - UK Hiring Data Scrape job listings from **Totaljobs** in one run. Get job titles, hiring companies, locations, salary text, posted dates, remote/work-from-home flags, company logos and direct job URLs from public Totaljobs search pages. Export the results to JSON, CSV or Excel, schedule recurring runs, call the actor through the Apify API, or connect the dataset to Google Sheets, Airtable, Clay, HubSpot, Make, Zapier or n8n. ### 🔎 What is the Totaljobs Scraper? Totaljobs is one of the UK's largest job boards and a major source for employer hiring demand across technology, finance, sales, operations, healthcare, logistics, engineering, administration and professional services. Recruiters and sales teams use Totaljobs data to understand who is hiring, where roles are concentrated, which companies are expanding and which job categories are growing. This actor turns public Totaljobs search-result pages into structured data. It uses direct HTTP requests and parses the server-rendered `data-at="job-item"` cards already present in the page, so it does not require a browser, login, API key or paid unblocker. Totaljobs can occasionally timeout on cloud datacenter IP ranges, so the actor includes an Apify Residential GB fallback for reliable scheduled runs. #### What data does it extract? - **Job title** - role name from the Totaljobs listing. - **Company** - hiring company name. - **Location** - listed city, region or remote location. - **Salary** - salary text when shown on the card. - **Posted date** - relative posting age from Totaljobs. - **Work-from-home flag** - whether the card exposes a remote/work-from-home marker. - **Company logo** - logo URL when available. - **Direct job URL** - stable Totaljobs listing URL. - **Search URL** - the source search page that produced the record. - **Stable ID** - extracted from the job URL when available. ### ⬇️ Input | Field | Type | Description | | --- | --- | --- | | `searchUrls` | array | Totaljobs search-result URLs to scrape. | | `keyword` | string | Optional keyword used to build a Totaljobs search URL. | | `location` | string | Optional location used with keyword search. | | `domain` | string | Totaljobs domain, usually `www.totaljobs.com`. | | `useResidentialProxy` | boolean | Use Apify Residential proxy as a fallback for reliable Apify runs. | | `proxyCountry` | string | Residential proxy country, normally `GB`. | | `maxResults` | integer | Maximum jobs to return per search. | #### Example input ```json { "searchUrls": ["https://www.totaljobs.com/jobs/python/in-london"], "maxResults": 50 } ```` Keyword and location search: ```json { "keyword": "data analyst", "location": "Manchester", "maxResults": 25 } ``` ### ⬆️ Output Each dataset item is one Totaljobs listing. ```json { "job_id": "107603933", "title": "Python Developer", "company": "McGregor Boyall Associates Limited", "location": "London", "url": "https://www.totaljobs.com/job/python-developer/example", "posted": "3 days ago", "work_from_home": false, "salary": "£70000 - £100000 per annum + bonus + benefits", "company_logo": "https://www.totaljobs.com/CompanyLogos/example.png", "search": "https://www.totaljobs.com/jobs/python/in-london" } ``` ### 💡 Use cases - **UK recruiting** - monitor companies hiring in technology, sales, operations, finance, healthcare and professional services. - **Sales intelligence** - active hiring can signal expansion, budget and operational change. - **Market research** - track demand by keyword, location, company and salary text. - **Job aggregation** - add UK jobs to a broader employment dataset. - **Competitor monitoring** - watch hiring patterns for competitors, partners or target accounts. - **Automation** - send new jobs to Sheets, Airtable, Slack, HubSpot, Clay, Make, Zapier or n8n. ### 🧭 How to use the data Use `job_id` or `url` as the deduplication key. For daily monitoring, schedule the actor with a small `maxResults` value and compare new IDs against previous runs. For market research, group rows by keyword, location, company or salary text. For sales workflows, enrich companies that repeatedly hire for roles related to your product or service. Totaljobs supports many filters on its website. Apply filters such as location, salary, date posted, contract type or remote work on Totaljobs, then paste the resulting search URL into `searchUrls`. Pair this actor with Reed, Jobsite, NHS Jobs, No Fluff Jobs, StepStone, Bayt, Naukri, Ashby, Recruitee and Workable to cover both public job boards and company career pages. For lead-generation workflows, treat a fresh Totaljobs posting as a buying-intent signal. Companies hiring for software engineers, analysts, nurses, sales teams, warehouse staff or operations roles often need related services: recruiting support, HR tools, payroll, training, relocation, managed IT, cloud infrastructure, compliance software or local suppliers. The dataset is intentionally flat so it can be enriched downstream with domains, emails, company size, funding data or CRM account records. ### ❓ FAQ **Does this require a Totaljobs account?** No. It reads public search pages. **Does it use a browser?** No. It uses direct HTTP requests and parses server-rendered job cards. **Can I scrape filtered Totaljobs URLs?** Yes. Paste filtered search URLs into `searchUrls`. **Can I search by keyword and location?** Yes. Use `keyword` and `location`. **Does it include salary?** Yes, when Totaljobs shows salary text on the search card. **Does it include full job descriptions?** This version focuses on search-result cards for speed and reliability. Detail-page enrichment can be added later if needed. **Is this useful for lead generation?** Yes. Hiring activity is a strong signal for recruiting, HR tech, training, payroll, sales tools, B2B SaaS and local services. **How often should I run it?** Daily is practical for monitoring new roles. Weekly is enough for broad market research. **How do I avoid duplicates?** Use `job_id` or `url` as the stable key. **Is it legal to scrape Totaljobs?** The actor collects publicly available job listing data. You are responsible for using the output lawfully and respecting privacy, employment, anti-spam and platform rules. ### 🔗 You might also like - [Reed Jobs Scraper](https://apify.com/benthepythondev/reed-jobs-scraper) - [NHS Jobs Scraper](https://apify.com/benthepythondev/nhs-jobs-scraper) - [No Fluff Jobs Scraper](https://apify.com/benthepythondev/nofluffjobs-scraper) - [StepStone Scraper](https://apify.com/benthepythondev/stepstone-scraper) - [Bayt Jobs Scraper](https://apify.com/benthepythondev/bayt-jobs-scraper) - [Ashby Jobs Scraper](https://apify.com/benthepythondev/ashby-jobs-scraper) **Keywords:** Totaljobs scraper, Totaljobs jobs scraper, UK jobs scraper, scrape Totaljobs, London jobs scraper, UK hiring data, job postings scraper, recruiting leads, hiring intelligence, salary jobs data, Apify jobs scraper. # Actor input Schema ## `searchUrls` (type: `array`): Paste Totaljobs search-results URLs.
