Totaljobs Scraper

What does Totaljobs Scraper do?

Totaljobs Scraper extracts structured job data from totaljobs.com — including salary data, company metadata, full descriptions, and skills and requirements. 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 and a compact output mode for AI-agent and MCP workflows.

What data can you extract from totaljobs.com?

Each result includes Core listing fields (jobKey, title, location, url, datePosted, workFromHomeLabel, skills, and unifiedSalary, and more), detail fields when enrichment is enabled (description), 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.
