APEC jobs scraper for France’s reference job board for cadres (executives, managers, engineers, and qualified professionals). A practical APEC API alternative and apec.fr scraper: search by keyword, city / department / region, CDI / CDD, télétravail, or paste listing start URLs. Export title, employer, location, contract, remote / hybrid, EUR salary bands (k€ brut annuel) — published on most APEC offers — and description snippets as JSON, CSV, or Excel via fast HTTP — no headless browser and no login. Scrape APEC with Python, Node.js, cURL, or Apify MCP / AI assistants.

Ideal for French cadre job-board aggregation, salary benchmarking, CDI vs CDD tracking, recruiting intelligence, and employer lead generation across Paris, Lyon, Toulouse, and nationwide.

Actor	Focus
APEC Jobs Scraper ◄── you are here	APEC.fr France cadre / executive jobs
Stepstone Jobs Scraper	DACH commercial job board
Arbeitsagentur Jobs Scraper	Germany BA Jobsuche
Glassdoor Scraper	Employer reviews, salaries, and jobs
Naukri Jobs Scraper	India’s largest job board (Naukri.com)

When to use this Actor

• You need an APEC scraper / apec.fr scraper / France cadre jobs scraper that returns structured JSON
• You want keyword + city + contract + télétravail without maintaining your own crawler
• You need EUR salary min/max parsed from k€ brut annuel, CDI/CDD labels, and geo coordinates as first-class fields
• You want to scrape APEC with Python, Node.js, or MCP and export a dataset
• You run a daily monitor and only want new offer numbers billed

When not to use this Actor

• Non-cadre generalist boards — this Actor covers apec.fr (executives / managers / engineers)
• Guaranteed emails or phones — public listing cards rarely include direct contacts
• Login-walled apply-form automation — public search data only
• Full job-page HTML — rows are built from APEC search cards (salary, company, and description snippet are already on the card)
• Historical archives — currently listed jobs only
• DACH job boards — use Stepstone Jobs Scraper or Arbeitsagentur Jobs Scraper

Key Features

• Keyword + city / department / region — position, optional extra keywords, Paris/Lyon/Toulouse and all metropolitan departments, plus APEC lieu autocomplete for other communes
• Start URL parsing — paste /candidat/recherche-emploi.html/emploi?motsCles=…&lieux=75, function/contract/telework query strings, or a detail-offre/{numeroOffre} URL
• Native APEC filters — CDI/CDD/alternance/intérim/stage, télétravail (total / partiel / occasionnel), recency (24h / 7d), sort, include/exclude partner boards
• Structured salary — most APEC offers publish a k€ brut annuel band; parsed to EUR salaryMin / salaryMax + original salaryNote — never a fake zero
• Description on the card — no extra detail request; turn the field off only to shrink exports
• HTTP JSON path — Chrome TLS impersonation against APEC’s public rechercheOffre JSON; 256–512 MB, no Playwright
• Datacenter-friendly — HTML warmup obtains the DataDome cookie; residential proxy is optional if you scale
• Monitor mode — named Key-Value store of seen offer numbers; later scheduled runs emit only new jobs
• Deduplicated offer numbers across pages, keywords, and multi-city runs
• MCP / AI ready — call from assistants via Apify MCP

FAQ

Is this an official APEC API?
No. It calls the same public search JSON the website uses (rechercheOffre) and returns structured dataset rows — a practical APEC API alternative for pipelines. You do not need APEC developer credentials.

Do I need to paste a search URL?
No. Keyword, city, contract, and télétravail work as inputs. startUrls is optional — useful when you already have an APEC search or offer URL.

Can I paste an APEC search URL?
Yes — startUrls accepts /candidat/recherche-emploi.html/emploi with motsCles, lieux, fonctions, typesContrat, typesTeletravail, typesConvention, salaireMinimum, and individual offer URLs (/detail-offre/…W).

Is this a raw JSON dump of the APEC payload?
No. Rows are camelCase Jobs-suite fields: parsed EUR salaryMin / salaryMax, workMode, contractType, geo, plus the original salaryNote — ready for CSV / Excel.

Does APEC require login?
No for public search results and listing cards. Personalized “my applications” feeds are not used.

Do I need a France residential proxy?
Usually not. A short HTML warmup obtains the DataDome cookie and the search JSON worked over datacenter connections in testing. A proxyConfiguration input is still available if you scale up and start seeing blocks.

Why is salary so often present?
APEC is one of the few French boards where employers routinely publish a k€ brut annuel range. Numeric EUR fields appear when that text parses; salaryConfidential: true flags rows with no band.

Are partner board offers included?
Yes by default (includePartners: true), matching the site checkbox. HelloWork / Cadremploi redistributions are tagged on the card; turn the option off for APEC-direct listings.

What is monitor mode?
With monitorMode: true, seen offer numbers are stored in a named Key-Value store. The first run is the baseline (all matches are new). Later scheduled runs push and charge only numbers not seen before.

Can I export JSON, CSV, or Excel?
Yes — every run writes a dataset you can download as JSON / CSV / Excel, or pull with the Apify API, Python/Node clients, or MCP.

Can I scrape APEC with Python or Node.js?
Yes. Use the Apify client examples above, the REST API, or Apify MCP.

How many jobs per search?
APEC paginates 20 jobs per page. Broad keywords return thousands of cadre offers; split nationwide sweeps by region or contract.
