Fuzu Jobs Scraper

Scrape live job listings from Fuzu.com, the pan-African career platform, across Kenya, Nigeria, and Uganda. Search by keyword, town, job category, industry, and seniority level, or fetch full job details from listing URLs. No login, no cookies, no paid proxy required.

Note: the originally requested brightermonday.co.ke target already has a dedicated actor in this catalog (BrighterMonday Scraper). To avoid a duplicate, this actor instead covers Fuzu — a same-category African job board that additionally spans Nigeria and Uganda, giving broader market coverage.

What this actor does

• Two modes: search (keyword + filters) and byUrls (direct listing fetch)
• Three markets: Kenya, Nigeria, Uganda — switch via country, or just pick a town and the country is inferred automatically
• Filters: town, job category, industry, seniority level, sort order, recency, keyword
• Rich fields per job: full description, salary band (when disclosed), education/experience/language requirements, company info
• Empty fields are omitted — every record only contains data actually present on the listing

Output per job

• jobId — Fuzu's internal listing ID
• jobSlug — URL slug for the listing (last path segment of sourceUrl)
• title, companyId, companyName, companySlug, companyUrl, companyLogoUrl

• hiringType — Direct employment / Staffing / outsourced / Internship
• applicationType — External / Internal (Fuzu) / Fast Apply

• salaryNote — free-text salary note (e.g. "Salary plus commission") when no numeric band is disclosed
• requiredEducation, requiredExperience, requiredLanguages[]
• descriptionHtml, descriptionText

FAQs

Does this require a Fuzu account or API key? No. The actor scrapes publicly available listing pages — no login, cookies, or API key needed.

How current is the data? Every run fetches live pages directly from fuzu.com; there is no caching layer.

Why are some fields missing on some jobs? Fuzu listings vary — not every job discloses a salary. Only fields actually present on the page are included (no placeholder/sentinel values).

What's the difference between applicationType and hiringType? applicationType describes where you apply — through Fuzu directly (Internal (Fuzu)/Fast Apply) or an external site/email (External). hiringType describes the employment arrangement the employer is offering — Direct employment, Staffing / outsourced (via a staffing agency), or Internship.

When are applicationUrl / applicationEmail present? Only when the employer routes applications outside Fuzu (an applicationType of External). Most listings use Fuzu's own internal application flow, so these fields are frequently omitted — that's expected, not a bug.

Can I search across all three countries at once? Each run targets one country (or one town, which implies its country). Run the actor multiple times with different country/town values to cover all three markets.
