Jobat [Just 💰$1] — Belgium Jobs (NL & FR)

What does Jobat do?

Jobat extracts structured job data from jobat.be — including salary data, contact details (email, apply URL), 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, company metadata, and contact information) where the source provides them.

Key features

• 🔔 Notifications — Telegram, Slack, Discord, WhatsApp Cloud API, generic webhook — out of the box. Pair with incremental + notifyOnlyChanges for daily "new Jobat jobs" pings to your hiring channel.
• 🔗 Paste-mode — paste any jobat.be URL straight from your browser — single-job pages, search-results URLs, or category SEO URLs. Build the search you want in the UI, copy the URL, paste it here.
• 📋 Detail enrichment — two-stage mode: list, then enrich each job with the full description + detail-page fields (apply counts, education, etc.). One toggle, no extra orchestration.
• 📦 Compact mode — AI-agent and MCP-friendly compact payloads with core fields only — pipe straight into your ATS, salary-benchmarking tool, or LLM context without parsing extras.
• 📝 Description format selection — pick a single description representation — text, html, or markdown — and the unused variants are dropped from each record. Halves payload size when your pipeline only consumes one format.
• ♻️ Incremental mode — recurring runs emit only NEW / UPDATED / REAPPEARED records — UNCHANGED and EXPIRED are opt-in. First run builds the baseline; subsequent runs emit and charge only for the diff. Pair with notifications for daily "new jobs" alerts to your hiring team. Saves 80–95% on daily monitoring.
• 📤 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, …).
• 📧 Email + phone extraction — every record carries extractedEmails[] and extractedPhones[] regex-pulled from the description — direct-outreach lists with no extra processing step.
• 🔗 URL + social-profile extraction — every record carries extractedUrls[] and structured socialProfiles { linkedin, twitter, github, … } parsed from the description — useful when employers drop their careers page or recruiter LinkedIn in-line.
• 💰 Structured salary — salary parsed into structured salaryMin / salaryMax / salaryCurrency / period — no string parsing on your side. Includes salaryHidden flag when the source filtered against a bracket but the listing itself doesn't disclose.
• 🔌 MCP connectors — export your results into Notion via Apify's MCP connectors — a clean run-summary page, no glue code. Opt-in via the App connector field; deterministic field-mapping, no AI. Built on Apify's connector framework, so more destinations open up as their catalog grows.

What data can you extract from jobat.be?

Each result includes Core job fields (jobId, title, location, region, profile, offer, contractType, and employmentType, and more), detail fields when enrichment is enabled (description, descriptionHtml, descriptionMarkdown, and benefits), contact and apply information (email, phone, and applyUrl), and company metadata (company, companyUrl, and companyWebsite). 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, company metadata, and contact information 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.

• 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 much does it cost to scrape jobat.be?

Jobat 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: $0.001 per job record

Example costs:

• 10 results: $0.015
• 25 results: $0.03
• 100 results: $0.11
• 200 results: $0.21
• 500 results: $0.51

Example: recurring monitoring savings

These examples compare full re-scrapes with incremental runs at different churn rates. Churn is the share of jobs 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	$0.21	$0.01	$0.19 (93%)	$0.45
15% — moderate broad query	$0.21	$0.03	$0.17 (83%)	$1.05
30% — high-volume aggregator	$0.21	$0.07	$0.14 (68%)	$1.95

Full re-scrape monthly cost at daily polling: $6.15. First month with incremental costs $0.64 / $1.22 / $2.09 for the 5% / 15% / 30% scenarios because the first run builds baseline state at full cost before incremental savings apply.
