Jobat.be Jobs Scraper - Belgium Job Board

What does Jobat.be Jobs Scraper do?

Jobat.be Jobs Scraper extracts structured job data from jobat.be — including salary data, contact details, company metadata, and full descriptions. It supports keyword search, location filters with radius, direct job URLs, and controllable result limits, so you can run the same query consistently over time. The actor also offers detail enrichment (full descriptions, company metadata, and contact information) 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.
• Radius search — filter by distance from a city or zip code (1–100 km).
• Start URLs — feed direct job URLs to bypass SERP, useful for monitoring specific listings or integrating with external link sources.
• Detail enrichment — full descriptions, company metadata, salary, and contact information where the source provides them.
• Compact mode — AI-agent and MCP-friendly payloads with core fields only.

What data can you extract from jobat.be?

Each result includes core listing fields (jobId, title, location, region, regionZip, contractType, employmentType, and more), salary fields (salaryText, salaryMin, salaryMax, salaryCurrency, salaryType), detail fields when enrichment is enabled (description, descriptionHtml, descriptionMarkdown, profile, offer, benefits), contact and apply information (email, phone, applyUrl), company metadata (company, companyId, companyGroupName, companyType, companyWebsite), and classification fields (category, subCategory1, subCategory2, functionType, sector, requiredDegree, experienceRequired, languagesRequired, drivingLicense). 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.

Input

Key parameters:

• query — Job search keywords. Optional when startUrls is provided.
• location — City or region in Belgium (e.g. "Brussel", "Antwerpen").

• maxResults — Maximum total results (0 = unlimited). (default: 50)
• startUrls — List of direct jobat.be job URLs to scrape instead of (or in addition to) a keyword search. Each URL is always enriched with full detail.
• includeDetails — Fetch full job details (description, profile, offer, contact info, salary). (default: true)
• descriptionMaxLength — Truncate description to N chars. 0 = no truncation. (default: 0)
• compact — Core fields only (for AI-agent/MCP workflows). (default: false)
• incrementalMode — Compare against previous run state. (default: false)
• stateKey — Stable identifier for the tracked universe. Required when incrementalMode is true.
• skipReposts — Exclude listings detected as reposts of previously seen jobs. (default: false)

Incremental fields

When incrementalMode: true, each record also carries:

• changeType — one of NEW, UPDATED, UNCHANGED, REAPPEARED, EXPIRED.
• 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 to scrape jobat.be

1. Go to Jobat.be Jobs Scraper in Apify Console.
2. Enter a search keyword and optional location filter. Or paste job URLs into startUrls to skip the search entirely.

4. Set maxResults to control how many results you need.
5. Enable includeDetails if you need full descriptions, contact info, or company data.
6. Click Start and wait for the run to finish.
7. Export the dataset as JSON, CSV, or Excel.

Use cases

• Extract job data from jobat.be for market research and competitive analysis.
• Track salary trends across regions and categories over time.
• Monitor new and changed listings on scheduled runs without processing the full dataset every time.
• Build outreach lists using contact details and apply URLs from listings.
• Research company hiring patterns, employer profiles, and industry distribution.

• Export clean, structured data to dashboards, spreadsheets, or data warehouses.

How much does it cost to scrape jobat.be?

Jobat.be Jobs 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: $0.003 per job record

Example costs:

• 10 results: $0.04
• 100 results: $0.31
• 500 results: $1.51

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: 200 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	$0.61	$0.04	$0.57 (93%)	$1.20
15% — moderate broad query	$0.61	$0.10	$0.51 (83%)	$3.00
30% — high-volume aggregator	$0.61	$0.19	$0.42 (68%)	$5.70

Full re-scrape monthly cost at daily polling: $18.15. First month with incremental costs $0.79 / $3.18 / $5.88 for the 5% / 15% / 30% scenarios because the first run builds baseline state at full cost before incremental savings apply.

FAQ

How many results can I get from jobat.be?

The number of results depends on the search query and available listings on jobat.be. Use the maxResults parameter to control how many results are returned per run.

Does Jobat.be Jobs Scraper support radius search?

Yes. Set location to a city name and locationRadiusKm to a distance in km (1–100). The actor resolves the city to a postcode-level location ID and submits the radius filter to jobat.be's search engine. Note: radius filtering requires a city-level location — broad region names like "Vlaanderen" do not support radius.

Does Jobat.be Jobs Scraper support recurring monitoring?

Yes. Enable incremental mode to only receive new or changed listings on subsequent runs. This is ideal for scheduled monitoring where you want to track changes over time without re-processing the full dataset.

Can I scrape specific job listings directly?

Yes. Provide a list of jobat.be job URLs in the startUrls input field. Each URL is fetched and fully enriched with detail data. Start URLs work alongside or instead of a keyword search, and are compatible with incremental mode.

Can I integrate Jobat.be Jobs Scraper with other apps?

Yes. Jobat.be Jobs Scraper works with Apify's integrations to connect with tools like Zapier, Make, Google Sheets, Slack, and more. You can also use webhooks to trigger actions when a run completes.

Can I use Jobat.be Jobs Scraper with the Apify API?

Yes. You can start runs, manage inputs, and retrieve results programmatically through the Apify API. Client libraries are available for JavaScript, Python, and other languages.

Can I use Jobat.be Jobs Scraper through an MCP Server?

Yes. Apify provides an MCP Server that lets AI assistants and agents call this actor directly. Use compact mode and descriptionMaxLength to keep payloads manageable for LLM context windows.

Is it legal to scrape jobat.be?

This actor extracts publicly available data from jobat.be. Web scraping of public information is generally considered legal, but you should always review the target site's terms of service and ensure your use case complies with applicable laws and regulations, including GDPR where relevant.
