Catho Jobs Scraper - Brazil Vagas, Salaries & Details

Scrape Catho jobs in Brazil, with the salary, contract, benefits and the full description: type what you would type into Catho's own search box, analista de dados or motorista, add a city or a state if you want one, and the matching jobs come back as rows. No Catho account and no cookies.

Two things catch people out. Most employers publish a salary band rather than a number. And Catho only reveals a job's work model through its own filter, so workModel and homeOffice stay empty unless you filter on one.

Input	Search words, up to 10, with an optional city, state or work model
Output	One row per job: title, company, place, salary line and band, contract, benefits, description, dates
Ceiling	20,000 per run, though one search usually runs dry somewhere between 300 and 900 jobs
Account needed	None
Price	$1.40 per 1,000 jobs on the Free plan, a little less on paid plans. The free plan's $5 a month covers about 3,500

🔍 What Catho Jobs Scraper does

Each line of search words is its own Catho search, and a job found by two of them is kept once. With Full job details on, the default, it opens each job's own record for the description, contract, benefits, salary band and dates. Off, you get only what the search card shows, which reads about six times less.

A city needs its two-letter state: São Paulo, SP. Catho has more than one city of most names and picks a small one if the state is missing, so a bare city is refused before anything is searched. Catho also answers a place it does not recognise with jobs from the whole of Brazil, so the run checks which place Catho actually applied, and if it was not yours, that search stops with a free row instead of a nationwide crawl you did not ask for.

The home office point, plainly: Catho does not put a work model on the job card, in the job's own record or in the page markup. The only place it exists is Catho's own Modalidade filter. Set workModel to remote and every row is a job Catho files as home office, with homeOffice: true on it. Leave it on any and both fields come back null, because guessing from the description would be making it up.

Salary is mostly a band. Across 120 jobs from a broad nursing search, salaryBand was filled on every row and salaryMin, an actual figure, on 26%. Catho shows a signed-out visitor the same salary it shows everyone else; often there is just no number to show.

▶️ How to scrape Catho jobs

1. Open Catho Jobs Scraper and click Try for free.
2. Type one search per line into Search words.
3. Add a City with its state, a State, or a Work model if you want one.
4. Set Maximum jobs, and pick Order if you want the newest first.
5. Click Start, then download the dataset as JSON, CSV or Excel.

The form arrives with analista de dados filled in and a cap of 100, so a run started without editing it is a real search.

💰 How much does it cost to scrape Catho jobs?

$1.40 per 1,000 jobs on the Free plan, which is $0.0014 a job. Paid plans pay a little less: $1.38 on Starter, $1.36 on Scale and $1.34 on Business. On the free plan, the $5 Apify gives you each month covers about 3,500 jobs.

Not charged: the sample job, a search that finds nothing, a job an earlier search in the same run already delivered, a job whose full record did not load when you asked for details, and a search stopped because Catho did not recognise the place. If you set a maximum charge on the run, it is read before the first request and the run stops at it.

📥 What you give it

{
  "searches": ["analista de dados", "cientista de dados"],
  "city": "São Paulo, SP",
  "workModel": "remote",
  "sortBy": "recent",
  "maxResults": 200,
  "includeDescription": true
}

With no search words at all, the run returns one sample job from Catho's own list, labelled and free.

Field	When left out	What it is
searches	none	Job titles, roles or skills, one per line, up to 10. Accents are optional, and English works where employers use it.
city	none	A city with its two-letter state, such as São Paulo, SP.
state	ANY	A state such as SP or RJ, for the whole state, or alongside a city written without one.
workModel	ANY	remote, hybrid or presential, through Catho's own Modalidade filter.
sortBy	relevance	relevance, or recent for newest first.
maxResults	100	1 to 20,000 jobs across all your searches.
includeDescription	true	Opens each job's record for the full details. Off returns the card only: title, company, city, the salary line and a rough posting tag.
proxyConfiguration	not needed	Optional. Servers of your own.

A city without its state stops the run before anything is searched, with a message saying what to fix.

📤 What you get back

A real row from a run on 30 September 2026, with the description cut short:

  "detailsLoaded": true,
  "scrapedAt": "2026-09-30T02:24:49.966Z"
}

Field	How to read it
jobId	The key for joining today's pull onto yesterday's.
confidentialCompany	true where company is empty: Catho's "Empresa Confidencial", an employer that chose not to be named.
seniority	Read off the job title, since Catho has no such field: Júnior, Pleno, Sênior, Estágio and so on. Null when the title carries none.
workModel, homeOffice	Filled only when you filter on a work model.
salaryMin, salaryBand	The figure when the employer published one, and Catho's band, which is nearly always there.
workSchedule, benefits	Empty more often than not.
description, postedAt, updatedAt, expiresAt	From the job's own record, with full details on. postedText is the card's own tag and is always there.

🧾 Reading the output

Row	How to spot it	Charged
A job	no _sample and no _diagnostic field	yes
The sample job	_sample: true and charged: false, plus a note. Only when there were no search words	no
A place Catho did not recognise	_diagnostic: true, charged: false, the searchTerm, the place and a note saying what to fix	no

Real jobs carry no charged field. The sample is a real job from Catho's list, so drop rows with _sample or _diagnostic rather than looking at the job itself.

A search with no jobs writes nothing to the dataset and is not charged; the status message names it. Every run also writes a RUN_REPORT record to its key-value store with, per search, the jobs Catho claimed, pages read, jobs returned, repeats skipped, jobs without details, and why it stopped.

💡 What people use it for

• A morning feed of new postings: sortBy set to recent, a modest maxResults, and jobId to skip what you had yesterday.
• A home-office job list, through workModel set to remote, which is the only honest way to get one from Catho.
• Reading salary bands for a role across states, from salaryBand and salaryMin.
• Seeing which employers in a field post as "Empresa Confidencial".

🚧 What it does not do

• Catho's results count is not what you can get. Its page claimed 8,782 results for desenvolvedor; paging end to end gave 763 distinct jobs. The run stops after two pages with nothing new rather than paying for repeats.
• No other filters. Catho's contract, salary-band and posting-date filters have no working form, so they are not offered. Filter contractType and postedAt on the rows.
• seniority is only there when the title says so: about a fifth of jobs on a broad search, half on developer searches.
• No résumés, candidates or employer contact details. Job listings only.
• It is not an official Catho tool. Dami's Studio is independent and is not affiliated with or endorsed by Catho, or by any other company named on this page.

❓ Questions people ask

Do I need a Catho account?

No. No account, no cookies, nothing to paste. The salary a signed-out visitor sees is the same one everyone sees.

How do I get only home-office jobs?

Set workModel to remote. That is Catho's own Modalidade filter.

How many jobs can I pull for one search term?

As many as Catho will page: 763 for desenvolvedor, over 880 for enfermeiro. The number Catho prints above its list is much bigger than what it serves.

Does it work for terms in English?

Where Brazilian employers post in English, yes. software engineer returns real listings, and Portuguese terms return far more.

Why did my run stop straight away?

A city was given without its state, or the maximum charge set for the run did not cover a single job. The run's message says which.

Can I call it from code or connect it to an AI assistant?

Yes. The API tab has ready-made code for Python, JavaScript and the command line. For Claude, ChatGPT or another MCP client, connect https://mcp.apify.com/?tools=fetch-actor-details,dami_studio/catho-jobs-scraper. Either way the run happens on your Apify account at the same price.

Is scraping Catho legal?

It reads public job listings, the same ones any signed-out visitor sees. If a listing names a person, that is personal data under the LGPD and similar laws, so have a reason for keeping it. Apify's write-up on the legality of web scraping is a good starting point, and we are not lawyers.
