Werkzoeken.nl Scraper — Dutch Job Listings

What does Werkzoeken.nl Scraper do?

Werkzoeken.nl Scraper extracts structured job data from werkzoeken.nl — including salary data, contact details, 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 profiles, 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.
• Detail enrichment — full descriptions, company profiles, 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 werkzoeken.nl?

Each result includes Core listing fields (jobId, jobKey, title, location, salaryText, salaryRange, salaryMin, and salaryMax, and more), detail fields when enrichment is enabled (description, descriptionText, descriptionHtml, descriptionMarkdown, and descriptionLength), contact and apply information (applyUrl and extractedEmails), and company metadata (company, companyType, 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, company profiles, 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.

Key parameters:

• maxPages — Maximum SERP pages to scrape per search source. (default: 5)

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.

How much does it cost to scrape werkzoeken.nl?

Werkzoeken.nl 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.
