What does Net-Empregos Scraper do?

Net-Empregos Scraper extracts structured job data from net-empregos.com — 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 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.
• 🔔 Notifications — Telegram, Slack, Discord, WhatsApp Cloud API, generic webhook — out of the box. Pair with incremental + notifyOnlyChanges for daily "new Net-empregos jobs" pings to your hiring channel.
• 📋 Detail enrichment — two-stage mode: collect listings, then fetch each job's detail page for the full description (text + markdown), category, employment type, and posting / expiry dates from the JSON-LD. One toggle, no extra orchestration.
• 📌 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.
• 🎯 Batch searches — batch ["python developer", "data engineer", "ML engineer"] in one run — one dedup state across all searches, single dataset, one Actor-Start charge instead of N.
• 📦 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 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.
• 📤 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, …).
• 🏷️ Portuguese categories + region structure — every listing carries its net-empregos category (e.g. "Informática ( Programação )", "Serviços Técnicos") plus a structured city and district (region), parsed from each job's JSON-LD, so you can segment the Portuguese market without post-processing.

What data can you extract from net-empregos.com?

Each result includes Core listing fields (jobId, jobKey, title, location, region, category, salaryText, and salaryMin, and more), detail fields when enrichment is enabled (description, descriptionText, descriptionHtml, descriptionMarkdown, and descriptionLength), apply information (applyUrl), and company metadata (company). 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. Use JSON array for multi-query.
• country — Which net-empregos.com market to search. (default: "PT")
• location — City, state, or region. Use JSON array for multi-location.
• startUrls — Direct net-empregos.com search-result URLs (pesquisa-empregos.asp?chaves=...). Pasted URLs are crawled as search pages in addition to any query above.
• maxResults — Maximum total job listings to return (0 = unlimited). Runs of 100 results or fewer use 256 MB; larger runs scale to 512 MB. (default: 25)
• maxPages — Maximum SERP pages to scrape per search source. (default: 5)
• includeDetails — Fetch each job's detail page for the full description (text + markdown), category, employment type, posting/expiry dates, and any salary mentioned. (default: true)
• descriptionMaxLength — Truncate description to this many characters. 0 = no truncation. (default: 0)
• compact — Output only core fields (for AI-agent/MCP workflows). (default: false)
• incrementalMode — Compare against previous run state. stateKey is optional — it defaults to a stable key derived from your search inputs (queries, locations, startUrls, country) so different filter sets never share state. (default: false)
• stateKey — Optional. Stable identifier for the tracked search universe (e.g. "us-software-nyc"). Leave empty to auto-generate from search inputs.
• emitUnchanged — When incremental, also emit records that haven't changed. (default: false)
• ...and 13 more parameters

Input examples

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

→ Full payload per result — all standard fields populated where the source provides them.

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

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

→ Small payload with the most important fields — ideal for piping into LLMs without token overhead.

{
  "query": "programador",
  "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.

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 net-empregos.com?

Net-Empregos 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 per run
• Per result: $0.00099 per job record

Example costs:

• 10 results: $0.0099
• 25 results: $0.02
• 100 results: $0.1
• 200 results: $0.2
• 500 results: $0.49

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	$0.10	$0.00495	$0.09 (95%)	$0.15
15% — moderate broad query	$0.10	$0.01	$0.08 (85%)	$0.45
30% — high-volume aggregator	$0.10	$0.03	$0.07 (70%)	$0.89

Full re-scrape monthly cost at daily polling: $2.97. First month with incremental costs $0.24 / $0.53 / $0.96 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.
