Eluta.ca Job Scraper - Canada Jobs

What does Eluta.ca Job Scraper do?

Eluta.ca Job Scraper extracts structured job data from eluta.ca — including salary data, apply URLs, company metadata, and full descriptions. It supports keyword search, location filters, and controllable result limits, so you can run the same query consistently over time. The actor also offers detail enrichment (full descriptions and company metadata) where the source provides them.

Key features

• ♻️ Incremental mode — recurring runs emit and charge only for listings that are new or whose tracked content changed. First run builds the baseline; subsequent runs emit only NEW / UPDATED / REAPPEARED records (UNCHANGED + EXPIRED opt-in). Saves 80–95% on daily monitoring.
• 🔔 Notifications — Telegram, Slack, Discord, WhatsApp Cloud API, and generic webhook out of the box. Pair with incremental for daily new-listing alerts without pipeline glue.
• 🔗 Paste-mode — paste any eluta URL straight from your browser — single-listing pages, search-results URLs, or category SEO URLs. Mix freely with keyword and IDs in the same run; results dedupe by ID.
• 🎯 Batch searches — pass ["term1", "term2"] for query, location, or city to batch multiple searches in one run — shared dedup state, single dataset, one Actor-Start charge instead of N.
• 📧 Email + phone extraction — best-effort regex extraction of contact emails and phone numbers from descriptions — emitted as extractedEmails[] and extractedPhones[] on every record.
• 🔗 URL + social-profile extraction — every record carries extractedUrls[] plus a structured socialProfiles { linkedin, twitter, instagram, facebook, youtube, tiktok, github, xing } parsed from the description.
• 📦 Compact mode — AI-agent and MCP-friendly payloads with core fields only.
• ✂️ Description truncation — cap description length with descriptionMaxLength to control LLM prompt cost and dataset size — set 0 for full descriptions, or any char-limit to trim.
• 📌 Change classification — each record carries a changeType of NEW / UPDATED / UNCHANGED / REAPPEARED / EXPIRED. Default emits NEW + UPDATED + REAPPEARED; opt into the others with emitUnchanged / emitExpired. Repost detection flags previously-expired listings that come back.
• 📤 Export anywhere — Download the dataset as JSON, CSV, or Excel from the Apify Console, or stream live via the Apify API and integrations (Make, Zapier, Google Sheets, n8n, …).

What data can you extract from eluta.ca?

Each result includes Core listing fields (jobId, jobKey, title, location, salaryText, salaryRange, salaryMin, and salaryMax, and more), detail fields when enrichment is enabled (description, descriptionText, descriptionHtml, descriptionMarkdown, and descriptionLength), apply information (applyUrl), and company metadata (company, companySlug, companyUrl, and companyDescription). In standard mode, all fields are always present — unavailable data points are returned as null, never omitted. In compact mode, only core fields are returned.

Enable detail enrichment in the input to get richer fields such as full descriptions and company metadata where the source provides them.

Input

The main inputs are a search keyword, an optional location filter, and a result limit. Additional filters and options are available in the input schema.

Input examples

Basic search — Keyword-driven search with a result cap.

{
  "query": "software engineer",
  "maxResults": 50
}

Incremental tracking — Only emit jobs that changed since the previous run with this stateKey.

  "compact": true
}

Output

Each run produces a dataset of structured job records. Results can be downloaded as JSON, CSV, or Excel from the Dataset tab in Apify Console.

Incremental fields

When incremental: true, each record also carries:

• changeType — one of NEW, UPDATED, UNCHANGED, REAPPEARED, EXPIRED. Default output covers NEW / UPDATED / REAPPEARED; set emitUnchanged: true or emitExpired: true to opt into the others.
• firstSeenAt, lastSeenAt — ISO-8601 timestamps tracking the listing across runs.
• isRepost, repostOfId, repostDetectedAt — populated when a new listing matches the tracked content of a previously expired one. Set skipReposts: true to drop detected reposts from the output.

How much does it cost to scrape eluta.ca?

Eluta.ca Job Scraper uses pay-per-event pricing. You pay a small fee when the run starts and then for each result that is actually produced.

• Run start: $0.005 per run
• Per result: $0.0015 per job record

Example costs:

• 10 results: $0.02
• 25 results: $0.04
• 100 results: $0.15
• 200 results: $0.3
• 500 results: $0.76

Example: recurring monitoring savings

These examples compare full re-scrapes with incremental runs at different churn rates. Churn is the share of listings that are new or whose tracked content changed since the previous run. Actual churn depends on your query breadth, source activity, and polling frequency — the scenarios below are examples, not predictions.

Example setup: 100 results per run, daily polling (30 runs/month). Event-pricing examples scale linearly with result count.

Churn rate	Full re-scrape run cost	Incremental run cost	Savings vs full re-scrape	Monthly cost after baseline
5% — stable niche query	$0.15	$0.01	$0.14 (92%)	$0.38
15% — moderate broad query	$0.15	$0.03	$0.13 (82%)	$0.82
30% — high-volume aggregator	$0.15	$0.05	$0.11 (68%)	$1.50

Full re-scrape monthly cost at daily polling: $4.65. First month with incremental costs $0.52 / $0.95 / $1.60 for the 5% / 15% / 30% scenarios because the first run builds baseline state at full cost before incremental savings apply.

Platform usage (compute and proxies) is billed separately by Apify based on actual consumption. Incremental runs consume less on result processing, though fixed per-run overhead stays the same.
