FAQs

Which jobs does Goodmoves list? Goodmoves specialises in third-sector roles — charities, social enterprises, housing associations, and community organisations. The majority of listings are based in Scotland, with a growing number from England and Wales.

How many jobs can I scrape? Set maxItems to control the maximum number of results. A keyword search typically returns hundreds to thousands of matches. The scraper paginates automatically.

Does this require authentication or cookies? No. All Goodmoves job listings are publicly accessible without a login. This scraper uses no credentials and no paid proxy tier.

Why are some fields missing from a record? Fields are only included when Goodmoves provides data for them. For example, applicationEmail is only present if an email address appears on the vacancy page, and salaryText is only present if the posting includes salary information.

Can I scrape a specific job listing? Yes — set mode to byUrl and supply one or more Goodmoves vacancy URLs in startUrls. startUrls is required in this mode; the run stops with a clear status message if it's left empty.

How does the location + radius filter work? Goodmoves only applies its location filter server-side when the search is paired with map coordinates (normally supplied by a JS location-picker widget on the live site). This scraper resolves location to coordinates itself using the free OpenStreetMap Nominatim geocoding service (no API key, no extra cost) and passes them straight through with your chosen radius. If a location can't be resolved (e.g. a typo or a non-UK place), the run continues without the location filter and the run's status message explains why.

How often is data updated? The scraper fetches live data from Goodmoves each time it runs. For up-to-date listings, schedule the actor to run daily.
