What you can do with it

• Search Sweden's official job board directly. Any keyword the API's own free-text search accepts, nationwide.
• Classify by occupation. occupation/occupationGroup/occupationField are the ad's official SSYK taxonomy labels.
• Filter by freshness. publishedWithinDays keeps only ads posted in the last N days.
• Feed a job alert or aggregator. A stable id and canonical url per ad for deduplication across runs.

Input

Field	What it does
keyword	Job title, skill or employer, for example sjukskoterska. Empty means every ad nationwide.
maxItems	The run stops once this many ads are saved (default 50).
publishedWithinDays	Only keep ads published in the last N days. Leave empty for no date filter.

Example input:

{
  "keyword": "sjukskoterska",
  "maxItems": 50
}

Export the dataset as JSON, CSV or Excel, or read it through the Apify API.

Why this one

• Official SSYK occupation codes on every ad, useful for occupation-level analysis without an extra lookup.
• No browser, no proxy, no API key. JobTech's search is a plain, documented, public JSON API.
• Date-window filtering built in, so a daily run only brings back what is new.

Good to know

• Most ads do not disclose a salary; salaryDescription is null when that is the case, nothing is guessed.
• Arbetsformedlingen's own application_contacts field (named recruiter, direct phone number) is left out entirely, and any phone number or e-mail address found loose inside description is stripped. The dataset carries no personal data.
• employer.organizationNumber is Sweden's public company registration number, not personal data.
• This is an unofficial tool, not affiliated with Arbetsformedlingen or the JobTech team. Check the API's terms and the data protection rules that apply to your use.

FAQ

Who uses it

• Recruiting agencies and HR teams watch which companies hire, for which roles and at which salary, in their market.
• Job boards and aggregators feed their own site with fresh postings in a stable schema, without maintaining a parser.
• B2B sales and lead generation: a company that is hiring is a company that is buying. Filter postings by role to spot prospects early.
• Labour-market research: salaries, skills in demand, remote share and hiring volume over time.

Pricing

Pay per result: $2.00 per 1,000 postings, plus $0.01 per run start with the default 4 GB of memory. For example, 100 postings cost about $0.21. You only pay for the postings you receive, and platform usage is included in that price. Store discounts apply automatically on paid Apify plans: up to 20% off every event on the higher tiers.

Run it from your code

JavaScript:

import { ApifyClient } from 'apify-client';

const client = new ApifyClient({ token: process.env.APIFY_TOKEN });
const run = await client.actor('bibian/arbetsformedlingen-jobs-scraper').call({
  maxItems: 50,
});
const { items } = await client.dataset(run.defaultDatasetId).listItems();

Python:

from apify_client import ApifyClient

client = ApifyClient(token="<APIFY_TOKEN>")
run = client.actor("bibian/arbetsformedlingen-jobs-scraper").call(run_input={
    "maxItems": 50
})
items = client.dataset(run["defaultDatasetId"]).list_items().items

Monitor new postings daily and connect your tools

1. Schedule it. Save a task, set its publication date filter to the shortest window, and schedule it daily with Apify Schedules. Deduplicate on the id field if you keep your own copy. Tick Only new results in the input and each run returns, and charges, only the postings that earlier runs of the same search did not deliver.
2. Push the results where you work. Add an Apify integration or a webhook to the task: Google Sheets, Slack, Make, Zapier, n8n or your own endpoint, triggered at the end of every run.
3. Call it from your stack. The API and the JavaScript and Python clients return the dataset as JSON, CSV or Excel.
4. Let an AI agent use it. Through the Apify MCP server, assistants such as Claude or ChatGPT can search the Store, read this page and run the actor as a tool.
