Zhaopin Scraper - China Job Listings

What does Zhaopin Scraper do?

Zhaopin Scraper extracts structured job data from zhaopin.com — including salary data, company metadata, full descriptions, location data, and skill tags. It supports keyword search 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 Zhaopin jobs" pings to your hiring channel.
• 📋 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.
• 📧 Email + phone extraction — best-effort regex extraction of contact emails and phone numbers from the listing description. Populated only when the source listing exposes the data — many listings hide contact info behind apply-flows, so null/empty is normal. Both extractedEmails and extractedPhones are arrays; an empty array means the page was scanned but nothing matched, while null means the extraction step was skipped.
• 🔗 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.
• 📦 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.
• 📌 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.
• 📤 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, …).

What data can you extract from zhaopin.com?

Each result includes Core listing fields (jobId, title, industry, financingStage, location, district, address, and latitude, and more), detail fields when enrichment is enabled (benefits and description), and company metadata (company, companyId, companyLogo, and companySize). 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 and a result limit. Additional filters and options are available in the input schema.

Key parameters:

• query — Job search keywords (e.g. "python", "销售"). Leave empty to browse all jobs in the selected city.
• cityId — City code (e.g. "530" for Beijing, "538" for Shanghai, "765" for Shenzhen). Defaults to Beijing. (default: "530")
• maxResults — Maximum total results. Zhaopin limits to 100 results per query (5 pages × 20). Set 0 for maximum available. (default: 25)
• includeDetails — Fetch full job details (description, company profile, address, geo coordinates, HR contact, skills, benefits). (default: true)
• descriptionMaxLength — Truncate description to N characters. 0 = no truncation. (default: 0)
• compact — Core fields only — for AI-agent and MCP workflows. (default: false)
• incrementalMode — Only return new or changed listings compared to the previous run. (default: false)
• stateKey — Optional stable identifier for the tracked search universe. Leave empty to auto-derive a stable identifier from your search inputs — different keyword/location/filter combinations get isolated state automatically.
• emitUnchanged — Also emit jobs that have not changed since the last run. (default: false)
• emitExpired — Also emit jobs that have disappeared since the last run. (default: false)
• skipReposts — When incremental, skip jobs whose content matches a previously expired job. (default: false)
• telegramToken — Telegram bot token (from @BotFather).
• ...and 13 more parameters

Input examples

Basic search — Targeted run scoped to a specific descriptionFormat.

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

{
  "descriptionFormat": "all",
  "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.

{
  "descriptionFormat": "all",
  "maxResults": 200,
  "incrementalMode": true,
  "stateKey": "all-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.

{
  "descriptionFormat": "all",
  "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 zhaopin.com?

Zhaopin 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: $0.01 per run
• Per result: $0.002 per job record

Example costs:

• 10 results: $0.03
• 100 results: $0.21

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	$0.21	$0.02	$0.19 (90%)	$0.60
15% — moderate broad query	$0.21	$0.04	$0.17 (81%)	$1.20
30% — high-volume aggregator	$0.21	$0.07	$0.14 (67%)	$2.10

Full re-scrape monthly cost at daily polling: $6.30. First month with incremental costs $0.79 / $1.37 / $2.24 for the 5% / 15% / 30% scenarios because the first run builds baseline state at full cost before incremental savings apply.
