Jobbird Scraper [💰$0.90] - Netherlands, Germany & UK + Salary

What does Jobbird Jobs Scraper do?

Jobbird Jobs Scraper extracts job vacancies from all three Jobbird country sites — the Netherlands, Germany and the United Kingdom — into clean, structured records with 55 fields each: salary range with currency and period, weekly hours, company website, region, distance from your chosen city, employer type (direct employer or agency), languages and the full job description. Search by keyword, city + radius, category, contract type, education level and hours, then schedule it with incremental monitoring so you only receive (and pay for) new and changed jobs. No code, no login — export to JSON, CSV or Excel, pull it from the API, or hand it to an AI agent.

Give it search terms and places — or paste Jobbird search, landing-page or job URLs — and it returns every matching job as a structured record, with the complete description in text, HTML and Markdown plus any emails, phone numbers and links written in the job text.

What data can you extract from Jobbird?

Every record carries 55 fields grouped like this:

Group	What you get
Job	Job ID, title, URL, apply link, category, contract types, languages, posting date, premium flag
Location	City, region / province, street address (mostly the Netherlands), country, Jobbird market, distanceKm from your search location
Pay, hours & requirements	salaryMin, salaryMax, salaryCurrency, salaryPeriod, salaryText, hoursMin, hoursMax, hoursText, work schedule, minimum and maximum education level, years of experience required (Netherlands, where the employer states it)
Company	Company name, company ID, logo, company website, company description, employer type (direct employer or recruitment agency)
Contacts	Emails, phone numbers and links written in the job text — useful for outreach when the employer or agency includes them
Description & monitoring	Full text as plain text, HTML and/or Markdown; change type (NEW / UPDATED / REAPPEARED / UNCHANGED / EXPIRED), first/last seen dates and repost detection

What's filled in each country

Title, company, location, category, date, links and the full description are on virtually every job. The rest depends on the country's site and on what the employer put in the ad:

Field	🇳🇱 Netherlands	🇩🇪 Germany	🇬🇧 United Kingdom
Salary	often — varies a lot by search	almost never	on most jobs
Weekly hours	sometimes	rarely	on most jobs
Contract types	often	rarely	always
Company website	often	sometimes	never
Street address	often	rarely	never
Employer type (direct / agency)	on most jobs	always	never
Languages	always	always	never
Education level	sometimes	never	never
Years of experience	occasionally	never	never

A field the ad doesn't state is null, never a guess. Website and address need Company website & address switched on. A few jobs, mainly internships abroad, have no city on Jobbird, so their location is empty too.

Key features

• 🌍 Netherlands, Germany and United Kingdom — pick one, two or all three Jobbird sites, over 180,000 jobs together. Most Jobbird tools only cover the Dutch site.
• 📍 Radius search you can trust — type a city, town or Dutch postcode and a radius, and you get only the jobs inside it, each with distanceKm. A place Jobbird doesn't recognise is skipped with a warning instead of quietly returning the whole country.
• 🎯 No filler results — a search term with no matches returns nothing, never a page of unrelated jobs you'd still pay for.
• 💶 Structured salary — salaryMin, salaryMax, salaryCurrency and salaryPeriod (hour / day / month / year) instead of a text blob, plus a filter for jobs that publish pay.
• 🏢 Company intelligence — company website, region, street address and employer type, with a Direct employers only filter to cut out agencies.
• 🔀 Multi-search runs — several keywords × several cities × several countries in one run, merged and de-duplicated, with an optional per-search cap so results come back balanced.
• 🎚️ Every Jobbird filter — category, contract type, education level, hours per week, how to apply and posted within — applied by Jobbird, so you never pay for rows you filtered out.
• ♻️ Incremental monitoring — schedule it and get only new, updated and reappeared jobs; unchanged jobs are not charged and reposts are flagged.
• 🔔 Notifications — Telegram, Slack, Discord or any webhook (n8n / Make / Zapier).
• 🤖 AI-ready — compact and drop-empty output modes keep payloads small for LLMs and MCP.

🚀 How to scrape Jobbird

1. Open the Actor, pick your countries, enter one or more search terms (e.g. developer, verpleegkundige) and, optionally, locations with a radius — or paste a Jobbird URL.
2. Add filters (category, contract type, hours, posted within…), set Max results and choose whether to fetch full job details.
3. (Optional) Turn on incremental mode and a notification channel, then Schedule it.
4. Click Start — jobs stream into the Output tab.
5. Download as JSON, CSV or Excel, or pull them from the API.

No login, no cookies, no setup — it runs out of the box. Start it with an empty input and it returns the 25 newest jobs in the Netherlands with full details.

Quick-start example input

{
  "countries": ["nl"],
  "searchTerms": ["developer"],
  "locations": ["Amsterdam"],
  "radiusKm": 25,
  "postedWithin": "7",
  "maxResults": 100
}

This finds up to 100 developer jobs posted in the last week within 25 km of Amsterdam, each with its distance from the city centre, salary where the employer publishes it, the company website and the full description — a ready-made shortlist for recruiters or job seekers.

---

Input

Configure it in the visual editor — no code needed — or pass JSON via the API. 38 inputs are available, grouped exactly as in the Actor's input form.

🔎 Search

Every combination of country × search term × location runs as its own search; results are merged and de-duplicated.

Field	Type	What it does
searchTerms	array	Job titles, skills or company names, e.g. developer, verpleegkundige, logistiek medewerker. Leave empty for every job matching your filters.
countries	array	nl (Netherlands), de (Germany), uk (United Kingdom). Defaults to the Netherlands.
locations	array	Cities, towns or Dutch postcodes, e.g. Amsterdam, Den Haag, 1012AB, Berlin, Manchester. Empty = whole country.
radiusKm	integer	Distance around each location, 1–200 km (default 30).
startUrls	array	Jobbird search URLs (all their filters are kept), landing pages such as /nl/vacatures/amsterdam/ict, or single job URLs — from any country site.
maxResults	integer	Total jobs across all searches (default 25, 0 = no limit).
maxResultsPerSearch	integer	Cap each single search so a multi-keyword or multi-city run stays balanced (0 = no cap).
sortBy	enum	auto (default): newest first, but most relevant first in Germany (see FAQ). newest or relevance apply everywhere.

🎚️ Filters

Filters are applied by Jobbird itself. Categories, contract types and education levels differ per country — type them as that country's site shows them (Dutch on .nl, German on .de, English on .uk), by label or as in the site's URL.

Field	Type	What it does
postedWithin	enum	any, 0 (today), 1 (last 2 days), 7 or 30 days.
categories	array	e.g. ICT, Zorg en medisch, techniek (NL), IT, Logistik und Lager (DE), Retail (UK).
contractTypes	array	e.g. Fulltime, Parttime, Stage, Bijbaan, Freelance-zzp (NL), Vollzeit, Teilzeit, Minijob, Praktikum (DE).
educationLevels	array	e.g. MBO, HBO, WO (NL).
workingHours	array	0-8, 9-16, 17-24, 25-32, 33-36, 37-* hours per week, or missing (not stated).
applicationMethods	array	on_site (apply on Jobbird), off_site (employer's website), whatsapp, is_motivation_mandatory (no cover letter required).
directEmployerOnly	boolean	Only jobs posted by the employer itself, not an agency (Netherlands and Germany).
salaryOnly	boolean	Skip jobs without a published pay range — skipped jobs are not charged.

📄 Output

Field	Type	What it does
includeDetails	boolean	Open every job for the full description, contract types, languages, employer type and contacts (default on).
includeCompanyDetails	boolean	Also add company website, region, street address and the employer's own apply link (default on).
descriptionFormat	enum	all, text, html or markdown.
descriptionMaxLength	integer	Cut descriptions to N characters (0 = full length).
compact	boolean	Core fields only — ideal for AI agents and MCP clients.
excludeEmptyFields	boolean	Drop null and empty fields for cleaner output.

♻️ Incremental monitoring

Field	Type	What it does
incrementalMode	boolean	Tag every job NEW / UPDATED / REAPPEARED / UNCHANGED / EXPIRED and emit only what changed.
stateKey	string	Stable name for the tracked search (auto-derived from your settings if blank).
emitUnchanged / emitExpired	boolean	Also emit UNCHANGED / EXPIRED jobs.
skipReposts	boolean	Leave out jobs an employer took down and posted again under a new link — not charged.

🔔 Notifications

Credentials are secret inputs — encrypted at rest, masked in the UI and never written to the run log. Every channel is off unless you fill it in.

Field	Type	What it does
telegramToken + telegramChatId	string	Telegram bot token + chat or channel ID.
slackWebhookUrl / discordWebhookUrl	string	Incoming webhook URL.
webhookUrl + webhookHeaders	string / object	POST the matched jobs as JSON anywhere — n8n, Make, Zapier.
notificationLimit	integer	Jobs per notification message (1–20, default 5).
notifyOnlyChanges	boolean	Alert only on new, updated and reappeared jobs.

⚙️ Advanced

Field	Type	What it does
proxyConfiguration	object	On by default for faster large runs. Turn it off to use only the Actor's own connection (slower).
ignoreUrlFailures	boolean	Skip start URLs that can't be interpreted instead of failing the run (default on).
maxRequestRetries	integer	Retries per failed request (0–10, default 3).

♻️ How to monitor Jobbird with incremental mode

Schedule the Actor and turn on incremental mode: each run compares against the last and emits only NEW / UPDATED / REAPPEARED jobs, plus EXPIRED ones if you ask. Unchanged jobs are recognised from the search results before their job page is opened, so you skip both the work and the cost. Jobs that an employer takes down and re-posts under a new link are flagged with isRepost (or left out entirely with skipReposts).

	First run (baseline)	Next run (nothing changed)
Jobs found	all	all
Job pages opened	all	none
Records emitted & billed	all	none

Your cost after the baseline scales with how much Jobbird changes, not with how much you watch:

Daily churn	of 1,000 tracked	billable records	you save
5 %	1,000	50	95 %
15 %	1,000	150	85 %
30 %	1,000	300	70 %

Setting up scheduled monitoring

1. Configure your countries, search terms, locations and filters.
2. Turn on Incremental mode and set Max results to 0 (or above the number of matches) so expired jobs can be detected.
3. Run it once — this seeds the baseline.
4. Open the Schedules tab and set a recurring run (e.g. hourly or daily).
5. Add a notification channel with Alert only on changes on.

---

🔔 How to set up Jobbird alerts

Get pinged the moment a matching Jobbird job appears on Telegram, Slack, Discord or any webhook (n8n / Make / Zapier) — fill in only the channels you want (see Notifications under Input).

Every channel fires independently — a broken channel can't stop the scrape or the others. Pair incremental mode with Alert only on changes to hear only about genuinely new jobs, with no duplicates across runs. notificationLimit sets how many jobs each message lists.

💡 What can you do with Jobbird data?

Find hiring companies for recruitment and staffing sales

Turn on Direct employers only to see which companies are hiring themselves, with their website, region and open roles. That is a ready-made prospect list for agencies and HR-tech vendors.

Benchmark salaries in the Netherlands and the UK

Collect salaryMin, salaryMax and salaryPeriod by category, region and hours. Use Only jobs with a salary to build a clean pay dataset without empty rows.

Compare labour markets across three countries

Run the same search on the Dutch, German and UK sites in one go and compare volumes, categories, contract types and hours side by side. Ideal for expansion planning and cross-border hiring.

Build a commute-based job feed

Search around a city or Dutch postcode and sort by distanceKm to show candidates only the jobs they can actually reach. Schedule it to keep a job board or newsletter fresh every day.

Market & competitive research

Track which companies, agencies and categories post the most jobs by region over time. Export the history to build trend dashboards in Google Sheets, Looker Studio or Power BI.

Lead generation from job ads

Combine company website, employer type and the emails and phone numbers written in each job ad to reach the right recruiter or hiring manager directly.

Feed AI agents and LLM pipelines

Send compact JSON straight into an LLM context, an MCP tool or a vector store. excludeEmptyFields and compact mode keep token costs low.

💰 How much does it cost to scrape Jobbird?

This Actor uses Apify's pay-per-event model: a small fee when a run starts, plus a fee for each job saved to your dataset; the Pricing tab shows the current numbers. Your Apify plan's platform usage is billed separately and stays low, because the Actor is lightweight by design.

Three things cut your bill further:

• Jobbird-side filters — category, hours, contract type, posted within and the others are applied by Jobbird, so rows you filtered out are never fetched and never billed. Jobs skipped by Only jobs with a salary or Skip re-posted jobs are not charged either.
• Incremental mode — after the baseline you pay only for what changed (the table above).
• Lean runs — turn off Company website & address or Full job details when the search-result fields are enough.

---

🔌 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.

Also covering the UK and German job markets: Reed.co.uk Jobs Scraper, Totaljobs Scraper and StepStone Job Scraper.

---

🔗 Using the API

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 = {
    "countries": ["nl", "uk"],
    "searchTerms": ["developer"],
    "locations": ["Amsterdam", "London"],
    "radiusKm": 30,
    "maxResults": 50,
}

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

for item in client.dataset(run["defaultDatasetId"]).iterate_items():
    print(item["title"], item["company"], item["distanceKm"], item["salaryText"])

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

❓ FAQ

Which Jobbird countries does it cover? All three Jobbird sites: the Netherlands (around 77,000 jobs), the United Kingdom (around 86,000) and Germany (around 22,000), as of October 2026. Each site has its own jobs; pick any combination in countries and every record says which market it came from.

How many jobs can I get per run? Jobbird shows up to 7,500 jobs per search. To collect more, add search terms, locations or categories — each combination is its own search, and the results are merged and de-duplicated. Set maxResults to 0 for no overall limit.

How long does a run take? About 100 jobs a minute with full details, so 1,000 jobs in around 10 minutes and a full 7,500-job search in a little over an hour. Turning off Full job details makes runs much faster still.

Why are German results sorted by relevance? On the German site one large job platform refreshes its ads daily, so newest-first pages are almost all theirs. By default (auto) German searches are sorted by relevance for a broad mix of employers; Dutch and UK searches stay newest first. Set sortBy to newest to override. To monitor German jobs, use incremental mode with maxResults 0 so every job is read whatever the order.

Why is the salary empty on some jobs? Because the employer didn't publish one. See what's filled in each country; use Only jobs with a salary to skip the rest (they are not charged). Jobbird publishes the amount but not whether it is hourly, daily, monthly or yearly, so salaryPeriod is estimated from the amount — a weekly rate, for example, may read as daily. salaryText keeps the readable form.

What happens if Jobbird doesn't recognise my location? It is skipped with a warning in the log, and your other locations still run — you never get the whole country back by mistake. Cities, towns and Dutch postcodes (e.g. 1012AB) work; provinces are not supported, so search a city with a larger radius instead.

What if my search term has no matches? You get nothing for that search and a warning — never a list of unrelated "you might also like" jobs that you would pay for.

In which language do I type categories and contract types? As each country's site shows them: Dutch on the Netherlands site (Zorg en medisch, Parttime), German on the German site (Logistik und Lager, Vollzeit) and English on the UK site (Retail). The label or the URL form both work; a value that doesn't exist on a site is skipped with a warning, and that country is skipped if none of your values exist there.

Can I get only new jobs on a schedule? Yes — turn on incremental mode and schedule it; see the monitoring and alerts sections above.
