Bayt Jobs Scraper: UAE, Saudi, Qatar, GCC (filters, alerts)

Scrape job listings from Bayt.com, the largest job site in the Middle East, across every Gulf and MENA country it serves. Give it a keyword and a country, or paste a ready-made Bayt search URL with your own filters, and get one flat row per job: title, company, city, posting date, salary when the employer prints it, and — with fetchDetails — the full job description, employment type, career level, years of experience and employer industry.

What you get

One row per job: id / jobId, url, title, company, city, country, postedAt, validThrough, employmentType, careerLevel, yearsExperience, industry, salary, description, query, page, rank, source, scrapedAt.

id is the numeric Bayt job id, so the same job never appears twice in one dataset, and monitor mode can track it across runs.

Example output

The first column is row 1 of the example dataset; the second is a real row from a Saudi Arabia search, showing a posting that does print a salary:

Field	Listing row (UAE, python)	Listing row (Saudi Arabia, accountant)
id / jobId	5479161	5481835
title	.NET Integration Engineer	Digital Account Manager
company	Emagine Solutions FZE	شركة الكمال للمقاولات
city / country	Dubai / uae	As Salamah / saudi-arabia
postedAt	2026-08-27	2026-09-10
careerLevel	Mid career	—
salary	—	SAR 3,750 - SAR 5,625
url	https://www.bayt.com/en/uae/jobs/net-integration-engineer-5479161/	https://www.bayt.com/en/saudi-arabia/jobs/…-5481835/

With fetchDetails: true the same row also carries:

Field	Example value
employmentType	FULL_TIME
validThrough	2026-10-26T00:00:00Z
industry	Accounting
yearsExperience	3+ years
description	the employer's full job description (HTML, as Bayt publishes it)

Using your own filters

Every filter on Bayt lives in the URL. Filter a search on the site (city, date posted, career level, salary, job type), copy the address bar into listingUrls, and the actor walks it page by page. The country of such a URL is taken from the URL itself, so one run can mix several countries.

Job alerts (monitor mode)

Set mode: monitor and save the run as a task on a schedule. Each run compares against the previous one and returns only new or changed jobs, keyed by job id, with the change decided on title | company | postedAt. Point webhookUrl or the Telegram fields at your own channel and every new Gulf job matching your keywords arrives there. You pay a monitor-check event per run plus a change event per job that actually moved.

Pricing

Event	Price
result	$0.001 per job ($1 per 1,000)
monitor-check	$0.005 per monitor run
change	$0.001 per new/changed job

You are charged only for rows actually pushed. Residential proxy traffic is billed by Apify on top of these events: Bayt answers datacenter IPs with a Cloudflare interstitial, so every request goes through a residential exit. Budget for it in your Apify plan; a run of a few hundred jobs is a few megabytes of residential traffic.

Limits

• Bayt serves 30 jobs per listing page, and a search tops out at the pages Bayt itself publishes. Asking for a page past the last one redirects back to the last page, so the actor stops there by itself: setting maxPagesPerSearch higher than a search actually has costs nothing and returns no duplicates.
• salary appears only when the employer chose to publish it — most postings do not.
• description, employmentType, industry, yearsExperience and validThrough need fetchDetails: true (one extra request per job, so a details run is slower and costs more proxy traffic).
• description is the HTML Bayt publishes in its JobPosting structured data, tags included.
• English pages only (/en/); Arabic job titles are returned exactly as the employer wrote them.
• No applicant, recruiter or contact data — this actor returns job postings and employer names, nothing person-level.

FAQ

Which countries are covered? Every country Bayt has a jobs section for: UAE, Saudi Arabia, Qatar, Kuwait, Bahrain, Oman, Egypt, Jordan, Lebanon, Morocco, Pakistan, India, plus international.

Can I search several keywords at once? Yes — searches takes a list, and each keyword is walked separately with its own query, page and rank on every row.

What happens when a search finds nothing? No rows are pushed and no result events are charged. The RUN_SUMMARY record in the run's key-value store carries emptyReason, which separates Bayt's own "no jobs matching your search criteria" answer (no_matches) from a refused request (blocked) or moved markup (source_changed).

Does it need a Bayt login? No. Only pages Bayt serves to logged-out visitors are read.

Changelog

• 0.1: initial release — 13 countries, keyword and URL searches, pagination, optional job-page details, monitor mode.
