Computrabajo Jobs Scraper: empleos, 19 countries (city, alerts)

Computrabajo runs the largest job boards in Latin America. This actor searches any of its 19 country sites — Mexico, Colombia, Argentina, Peru, Chile and 14 more — by keyword and city, and returns one flat row per empleo with the company, salary and posting age. No login, no proxy.

What you get (example output)

One row per job card. Real values from a run of this actor on the Mexican site:

Field	Example value
title	MERN / Python Full Stack Developer Jr.

salaryText	$ 30,000.00 (Mensual)
salary / salaryPeriod	30000 / monthly
postedText	Hace 1 hora
country	mx
isUrgent / isFeatured	false / false
companyUrl	https://co.computrabajo.com/empresas/ofertas-de-trabajo-de-porcicarnes-3B04126F4D4ECF9B
url	https://co.computrabajo.com/ofertas-de-trabajo/oferta-de-trabajo-de-desarrollador-backend-python-en-medellin-24E2A6E04217F0F061373E686DCF3405

Also on every row: jobId, location, workMode, keyword, page, rank, scrapedAt.

Use cases

• LatAm job aggregators: pull recent empleos for a country and keyword set into one schema, with the salary already parsed into a number and a period.
• Salary research: compare published salary ranges by role and country across the 19 Computrabajo sites.
• Recruiting and market monitoring: run monitor mode daily to see which employers post new vacancies, and how many are marked urgent or featured.

How it works

1. Each keyword is turned into a search URL on the chosen country's Computrabajo site (city narrows it), then paginated, 20 job cards per page, up to maxPages.
2. Every card is parsed into a flat row; salaryText is also parsed into a numeric salary and a salaryPeriod where Computrabajo publishes one.
3. Results from several keywords are merged and deduplicated on the Computrabajo offer id, so overlapping searches are not charged twice.
4. In monitor mode the run compares against the previous run of the same task and returns only new or changed listings, optionally posting a summary to a webhook or Telegram chat.

Why this actor

• All 19 Computrabajo country sites behind one input; switch market by changing two letters.
• Salary arrives both as the original text and as a parsed number with its period, so you can aggregate without regexes.
• No login and no proxy, which keeps runs cheap.
• Several keywords per run, deduplicated on the offer id.
• You pay per pushed row; an empty run costs nothing beyond platform usage, and RUN_SUMMARY says why (no_matches, blocked, rate_limited, invalid_input, upstream_error).
• Monitor mode with webhook and Telegram alerts for new vacancies.

Limits

• Listing cards only: the full description and the application form are not opened (url leads to the offer).
• Some postings are published without a company name. Computrabajo allows confidential vacancies, so company and companyUrl come back empty on a minority of rows — in a recent 20-row run, 3 rows. This is the source's behaviour, not a parsing failure.
• Salary is empty wherever the employer did not publish one.
• workMode is filled only for cards that carry the remote/hybrid badge.
• postedText is the site's relative text ("Hace 17 horas"), not an absolute timestamp.
• location is taken from the card's secondary line and on current Computrabajo layouts often contains the employer's star rating rather than the city; use the city input to constrain geography, and the offer url, which carries the city slug. A fix is on the backlog — reports on the Issues tab are welcome.

FAQ

Which countries does the Computrabajo scraper cover? Nineteen: Mexico, Colombia, Argentina, Peru, Chile, Ecuador, Venezuela, Costa Rica, Guatemala, El Salvador, Honduras, Nicaragua, Panama, Dominican Republic, Uruguay, Paraguay, Bolivia, Puerto Rico and Cuba. One country per run, selected with country.

Why do some rows have no company name? Because the employer posted the vacancy confidentially. Computrabajo shows those offers without an employer, and the row keeps everything else (title, salary, city, posting age).

Can I get an alert for new empleos every morning? Yes: save the actor as a task with mode: monitor, schedule it daily, and set webhookUrl or the two Telegram fields. Each run returns only the listings added since the previous run.
