Bayt.com Jobs Scraper — Middle East & Gulf Job Listings

What does Bayt.com Jobs Scraper do?

Extract job listings from Bayt.com — the largest job board in the Middle East — as clean, structured JSON, CSV or Excel. Every record can include structured salary with USD normalization, skills, career levels, full descriptions, contact details and social profiles, ready for analysis, lead generation or AI pipelines. No Bayt account, no code, no API key required.

Give it a search keyword (e.g. software engineer) and a country, and it returns every matching job as a typed record. Each listing includes the title, company, location, salary range, employment type, career level, AI-generated summary and posting dates. Turn on Fetch full details to also pull the complete description (text, HTML and Markdown), skills list, candidate requirements, apply URL, contact information and social profiles extracted from the description.

You can also paste any Bayt.com search URL — with filters already applied in your browser — or individual job URLs into Start URLs.

Key features

• 🔎 Search or URL scraping — run a keyword + country search, or paste Bayt.com search/job URLs directly.
• 🌍 15 markets — UAE, Saudi Arabia, Egypt, Kuwait, Qatar, Bahrain, Oman, Jordan, Lebanon, Iraq, Morocco, Pakistan, India, USA, or International (all at once).
• 💰 Structured salary — native-currency min/max plus USD-normalized values for cross-market comparison.
• 🎚️ Rich filters — country, city/location, employment type (full-time, part-time, contractor, freelance, internship), career level (student to management), date posted, Easy Apply only, minimum salary (USD), and sort order — all applied before detail fetches so filtered jobs cost nothing.
• 💵 Salary floor — set a minimum USD/month salary and only get jobs that publish compensation above your threshold — essential for salary benchmarking and comp research.
• 🏢 Company targeting — whitelist or blacklist companies by name (onlyCompanies / excludeCompanies) — perfect for competitive intel, account-based recruiting and lead-gen.
• 🎯 Keyword relevance scoring — provide a list of skills or keywords and every record gets a matchScore (0–100) plus the list of matched keywords — rank and filter by relevance without any post-processing.
• 🧠 Full details — descriptions in text, HTML and Markdown, skills, candidate requirements (experience, degree, nationality, gender, residence, citizenship), AI summary, and apply URL.
• 📇 Contact extraction — emails, phone numbers (strict or lenient mode), URLs and social profiles (LinkedIn, Twitter/X, GitHub, Facebook) pulled from each description for lead generation.
• 🏠 Remote work detection — isRemote flag and remote-work text for hybrid and remote listings.
• ♻️ Incremental monitoring — schedule it and get only NEW, UPDATED or EXPIRED jobs; unchanged items are skipped before their page is even fetched. Optional repost filtering drops recycled postings. Tracks firstSeenAt, lastSeenAt and expiredAt timestamps.
• 🔔 Notifications — push new jobs to Telegram, Slack, Discord, WhatsApp Business or any webhook (n8n, Make, Zapier). Use notifyOnlyChanges to suppress alerts for unchanged records.

Output

Each item in the dataset is one job listing. Every record includes the core fields; enabling Fetch full details (on by default) adds the full description, skills, candidate requirements, salary details and contact information. Here is a representative record:

{

Each record can also include descriptionHtml and description (plain text) — choose the format with the Description format input. When incremental mode is on, records carry a changeType field (NEW / UPDATED / EXPIRED) and tracking timestamps.

• Salary — salaryText, salaryCurrency, salaryMin, salaryMax, salaryPeriod, salaryUsdMin, salaryUsdMax.

♻️ Incremental monitoring — pay for changes, not repeats

Schedule the actor and turn on incremental mode: each run compares against the last and emits only NEW / UPDATED / EXPIRED records — unchanged items are skipped before their detail page is fetched, so a daily watch costs a fraction of a full re-scrape. Enable skip reposts to also filter out recycled postings (same title under a new job ID).

Example: monitoring 1,000 jobs daily ($0.99/1,000 results + $0.0005/start)

Daily churn	Changed records billed	Cost per run	Monthly (30 runs)	vs full re-scrape
5 %	50	$0.05	$1.51	save 95 %
15 %	150	$0.15	$4.52	save 85 %
30 %	300	$0.30	$9.02	save 70 %
100 % (full)	1,000	$1.00	$30.02	baseline

The first run seeds the baseline and bills in full; every run after that bills only the delta. Each record carries firstSeenAt, lastSeenAt and (when it disappears) expiredAt timestamps so you can track how long a position stayed open.

💰 How much does it cost to scrape Bayt.com?

This Actor uses the pay-per-event pricing model. Platform compute is included — you pay only for what you get.

• Run start: $0.0005 per run
• Per result: $0.99 per 1,000 records ($0.00099 each)

One-off scraping

What you're doing	Records	Cost
Quick test	10	~$0.01
One role in one country	100	~$0.10
Multiple roles or a broad search	500	~$0.50
Full market scan	1,000	~$1.00
Large multi-keyword sweep	5,000	~$4.95

Daily monitoring (scheduled runs)

Scenario	Records/run	Runs/month	Monthly cost
Niche role, one country (incremental, ~10 % churn)	~25	30	~$0.76
Mid-volume search (incremental, ~15 % churn)	~150	30	~$4.52
Broad search, full re-scrape daily	500	30	~$14.87
Heavy monitoring, 3 queries × 1,000 (incremental, ~10 %)	~300	30	~$8.92

Tips to keep costs low

• Use filters — datePosted, searchMinSalary, employmentType, careerLevel, easyApplyOnly, onlyCompanies all reduce the result count before any detail fetch.
• Turn off details for discovery — set includeDetails to false for fast, listing-only sweeps; only enable details when you need descriptions and skills.
• Use incremental mode for recurring runs — unchanged jobs are skipped entirely.
• Set maxResults to cap what you pay per run.

🔌 Integrations & export

Export to JSON, CSV, Excel or an HTML table, or pull from the REST API and the JavaScript / Python clients. Runs on a schedule, connects to Google Sheets, Slack, Make, Zapier and n8n, and works as an MCP tool for AI agents — compact mode keeps token usage small.

---

🔗 Using the API

You can run this Actor from your own code. Example with the Apify Python client:

from apify_client import ApifyClient

client = ApifyClient("<YOUR_API_TOKEN>")

run_input = {
    "query": "software engineer",
    "country": "uae",
    "maxResults": 50,
}

run = client.actor("corvuslab/bayt-jobs-scraper").call(run_input=run_input)

print("Results: https://console.apify.com/storage/datasets/" + run["defaultDatasetId"])
for item in client.dataset(run["defaultDatasetId"]).iterate_items():
    print(item)

The Actor also works with the JavaScript/TypeScript client, the Apify CLI and the REST API.

❓ FAQ

Do I need a proxy or login? No — it runs out of the box with no Bayt account, no API key and no proxy configuration.

Which countries are supported? UAE, Saudi Arabia, Egypt, Kuwait, Qatar, Bahrain, Oman, Jordan, Lebanon, Iraq, Morocco, Pakistan, India, USA, and International (all markets at once).

Can I get only new jobs on a schedule? Yes — turn on incremental mode and schedule the actor; each run emits only what changed and can notify your channel via Telegram, Slack, Discord, WhatsApp or webhook.

What formats can I export? JSON, CSV, Excel, HTML table, XML, RSS, or via the API.

Is it good for AI agents? Yes — enable compact mode; the output is MCP-friendly and keeps token usage small.

How many records can I get? Set maxResults to cap the output, or leave it at 0 for unlimited (bounded by how many jobs the search returns).

Does it extract salary data? Yes — when salary information is published on a listing, the scraper extracts the native-currency range and normalizes it to USD for easy cross-market comparison. You can also set a minimum salary to only get jobs above a threshold.

Can I filter by company? Yes — use onlyCompanies to whitelist specific companies, or excludeCompanies to blacklist them. Both are case-insensitive and applied before detail fetches.

Can I rank jobs by relevance to specific skills? Yes — provide keywords in matchKeywords and every record gets a matchScore (0–100) showing how many of your keywords were found in the title, description and skills.

Can it notify me when new jobs appear? Yes — add a Telegram, Slack, Discord, WhatsApp Business or generic webhook target under Notifications, and combine with incremental mode so you only get pinged about new and updated jobs. Use notifyOnlyChanges to suppress alerts for unchanged records.

You are responsible for how you use the extracted data — in particular any personal information — and for complying with the site's terms and applicable law (including the GDPR where it applies).
