Emprego SAPO Scraper – Portugal Jobs

What does Emprego SAPO Scraper do?

Emprego SAPO Scraper extracts structured job data from emprego.sapo.pt — including company metadata, employment type, work model, and full descriptions. It supports keyword search, district filters, and controllable result limits, so you can run the same query consistently over time. The actor also offers detail enrichment (full descriptions, education and experience requirements) 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 state; subsequent runs emit only new or changed records.
• Detail enrichment — full descriptions and company metadata where the source provides them.
• Compact mode — AI-agent and MCP-friendly payloads with core fields only.

What data can you extract from emprego.sapo.pt?

Each result includes Core listing fields (jobId, jobKey, title, pitch, location, district, municipality, and country, and more), detail fields when enrichment is enabled (description, descriptionText, descriptionHtml, descriptionMarkdown, and detailFetched), and company metadata (company, companyId, companyLogo, and companyUrl). 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.

Key parameters:

• query — Job search keywords. Leave empty to return all listings.
• location — Portuguese district slug to filter by (e.g. lisboa, porto, braga, setubal). Leave empty for all districts.
• workHours — Filter by work hours type. (default: "")
• sortOrder — Order in which to return results. (default: "mais-recentes")
• daysOld — Only return jobs published within the last N days. 0 = no limit. (default: 0)
• maxResults — Maximum total results (0 = unlimited, up to 9999). (default: 25)
• includeDetails — Fetch full job details from each listing page (full description, validThrough, educationLevel, experienceLevel). Doubles request count. (default: true)
• descriptionMaxLength — Truncate description to N characters. 0 = no truncation. (default: 0)
• compact — Return only core fields (jobId, title, company, location, employmentType, url, postedAt). (default: false)
• incrementalMode — Only emit NEW, UPDATED, and EXPIRED jobs relative to a prior run. Requires stateKey. (default: false)
• stateKey — Unique key to persist incremental state across runs (e.g. 'my-portugal-feed'). Required when incrementalMode is true.
• emitUnchanged — Also emit UNCHANGED jobs (not just NEW/UPDATED/EXPIRED). Only applies when incrementalMode is true. (default: false)
• ...and 1 more parameters

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.

→ First run builds the baseline state. Subsequent runs emit only records that are new or whose tracked content changed. Set emitUnchanged: true to include unchanged records as well.

{
  "query": "software engineer",
  "maxResults": 200,
  "incrementalMode": true,
  "stateKey": "software-engineer-tracker"
}

Compact output for AI agents — Return only core fields for AI-agent and MCP workflows.

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

How much does it cost to scrape emprego.sapo.pt?

Emprego SAPO 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
• 100 results: $0.15
• 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.
