Input Format

The scraper accepts configuration through a JSON object with several key parameters:

Scrape with URLs:

{
  "max_retries_per_url": 2, // Maximum number of retry attempts for each URL
  "proxy": { // Proxy configuration to avoid bot detection
    "useApifyProxy": true,
    "apifyProxyGroups": [
      "RESIDENTIAL" 
    ],
    "apifyProxyCountry": "AE" // Choose a country that matches your target data location
  },
  "max_items_per_url": 20, // Total number of items you want to scrape
  "urls": [ // Job listing page URLs to scrape
    "https://uae.dubizzle.com/jobs/search/?keyword=accountant&salary=3&required_work_experience=2&required_commitment=FT&remote_job=No",
    "https://uae.dubizzle.com/jobs/beauty-salon/",
    "https://sharjah.dubizzle.com/jobs/cook-chef/"
  ],
  "ignore_url_failures": true // Continue scraping even if some URLs fail
}

The urls parameter: List of job listing page URLs that you want to scrape. You can add URLs one by one, or use the Bulk edit section to add a prepared list.

The ignore_url_failures parameter: If set to true, the scraper will continue running even if some URLs fail to be scraped after reaching the maximum number of retries. This ensures that one problematic URL doesn't stop your entire scraping job.

When you provide a list of URLs for scraping, all options in the "Scrape with search filters" section will be disabled. The system will only collect data from the URLs you specified.

Scrape with Search Filters:

{
  "max_retries_per_url": 2, // Maximum number of retry attempts for each search filter
  "proxy": { // Proxy configuration to avoid bot detection
    "useApifyProxy": true,
    "apifyProxyGroups": [
      "RESIDENTIAL" 
    ],
    "apifyProxyCountry": "AE" // Choose a country that matches your target data location
  },
  "max_items_per_url": 20, // Total number of items you want to scrape
  "keyword": "accountant", // Search keyword to find jobs
  "location": "dubai", // Filter by city/location
  "job_type": "FT", // Filter by job type
  "remote_job": "No", // Filter by remote work option
  "salary": "3", // Filter by salary range
  "experience": "2", // Filter by experience level
  "page": 1 // Starting page number for search results
}

The keyword parameter: The search keyword to find jobs (e.g., "accountant", "engineer", "manager", "developer").

The location parameter: Filter jobs by city/location in UAE:

• "uae" - All cities in UAE
• "dubai" - Dubai
• "abudhabi" - Abu Dhabi
• "rak" - Ras Al Khaimah

• "fujairah" - Fujairah
• "ajman" - Ajman
• "uaq" - Umm Al Quwain
• "alain" - Al Ain

The job_type parameter: Filter jobs by employment type:

• "FT" - Full Time
• "PT" - Part Time
• "CO" - Contract
• "TP" - Temporary
• "OT" - Other

The remote_job parameter: Filter jobs by remote work availability:

• "Yes" - Remote jobs only
• "No" - On-site jobs only

The salary parameter: Filter jobs by salary range (AED per month):

• "0" - Negotiable
• "1" - Less than 2,000
• "2" - 2,000 - 3,999
• "3" - 4,000 - 5,999
• "4" - 6,000 - 7,999
• "5" - 8,000 - 11,999

• "15" - 15+ years

The page parameter: Starting page number for scraping, useful for continuing interrupted scrapes or targeting specific result ranges.

When using search filters for scraping, you need to leave the urls field empty (or set it to null) in the "Scrape with URLs" configuration.

General Options:

The max_items_per_url parameter: Limits the number of job listings extracted from each listing page or search results page. The default value is 20, providing a manageable batch size while allowing for comprehensive data collection.

The max_retries_per_url parameter: Sets the maximum number of retry attempts for each URL or search filters if the scrape is detected as a bot or the page fails to load. The default value is 2, providing a good balance between thoroughness and efficiency.

The proxy parameter: Proxy configuration is essential for maintaining anonymity and avoiding detection. The residential proxy option ensures that your scraping activities appear as legitimate browsing, reducing the risk of being blocked or rate-limited. You should choose a country that matches the location of the website you're scraping (e.g., UAE/AE for dubizzle.com).

Usage Guide

Step-by-Step Implementation

Step 1: Choose Your Scraping Approach

Option A - URL-Based Preparation:

• Navigate to Dubizzle.com job section and identify your target categories
• Use the website's search and filtering features to find relevant job listings
• Copy complete URLs from specific job searches, category pages, or filtered results
• Ensure URLs include all search parameters for targeted extraction

Option B - Filter-Based Preparation:

• Define your search criteria using the built-in filters:
  • Set keyword for specific job titles or roles (e.g., "accountant", "engineer", "manager")
  • Select location to target specific cities or all UAE
  • Choose job_type (Full Time, Part Time, Contract, etc.)
  • Set remote_job to filter for remote or on-site positions
  • Select salary range to target specific compensation levels
  • Choose experience level to match job requirements

Step 2: Configure Input Parameters

• Set appropriate retry limits (2-3 retries recommended for reliability)
• Configure proxy settings with UAE (AE) residential proxies for optimal performance
• Adjust max_items_per_url based on your data requirements and resources
• Enable ignore_url_failures to ensure robust scraping

Step 3: Execute the Scraper

• Load your configuration JSON into the scraper
• Monitor the extraction progress through the dashboard
• Review extracted data for completeness and accuracy

Step 4: Data Processing and Analysis

• Export extracted data to your preferred format (CSV, JSON, Excel)
• Implement data cleaning and normalization procedures
• Apply business logic for categorization and analysis

Best Practices

Method Selection:

• Use URL-based scraping for complex category hierarchies or when you need specific pre-filtered results with multiple parameters
• Use filter-based scraping for dynamic job searches with standard filtering options
• Combine both approaches: use filters for broad job discovery, then URLs for targeted deep dives into specific categories

Optimal Performance Tips:

• Use residential proxies with UAE (AE) geographic location for best access rates
• Limit concurrent requests to avoid rate limiting and maintain data quality
• Schedule regular extractions during off-peak hours for consistent access
• Implement data deduplication to handle recurring job listings

Filter Optimization Strategies:

• Location-Based Strategy: Target specific cities ("dubai", "abudhabi") for localized job markets, or use "uae" for nationwide coverage
• Salary Analysis: Use different salary ranges to analyze compensation trends across experience levels
• Experience Targeting: Combine experience with salary filters to identify career progression patterns
• Remote Work Research: Filter by remote_job: "Yes" to track remote work opportunities
• Job Type Analysis: Use job_type to segment full-time vs contract opportunities

Advanced Filter Combinations:

• Entry-level jobs: keyword: "junior", experience: "0", salary: "1"
• Senior positions: keyword: "manager", experience: "10", salary: "6"
• Remote opportunities: remote_job: "Yes", job_type: "FT", location: "uae"
• High-paying roles: salary: "7", experience: "5", location: "dubai"

Data Quality Assurance:

• Validate extracted URLs and contact information before use
• Cross-reference job titles with category classifications for accuracy
• Monitor for changes in Dubizzle's page structure that might affect extraction
• Implement data freshness checks to identify recently updated listings
• For filter-based searches, verify results match your search criteria

Common Issue Resolution:

• Access Denied Errors:

  • Switch to UAE (AE) residential proxies
  • Adjust request frequency and implement delays
  • Enable ignore_url_failures to continue scraping

• Incomplete Data:

  • Increase retry limits (3-5 retries)
  • For URL-based: Verify URL formats are correct
  • For filter-based: Test filter combinations with broader criteria

• Empty Results:

  • For filter-based: Verify keyword spelling and try broader terms
  • Test filter combinations separately to identify issues
  • Try location: "uae" instead of specific cities
  • Adjust salary and experience ranges to be more inclusive

• Duplicate Entries:

  • Implement UUID-based deduplication in post-processing
  • Track job IDs to identify recurring listings across searches

• Missing Images:

  • Check media extraction settings and storage permissions
  • Verify proxy connectivity for media resources

• Filter Mismatch:

  • For filter-based: Ensure salary codes match (0-7) and experience codes are valid (0, 1, 2, 5, 10, 15)
  • Verify job_type codes (FT, PT, CO, TP, OT) are correctly formatted
  • Test location codes match available cities

Market Research Use Cases:

• Salary Benchmarking: Use filter combinations of keyword + experience + salary to analyze compensation trends
• Geographic Analysis: Compare job availability across different location filters
• Remote Work Trends: Track remote_job: "Yes" listings over time
• Career Progression: Analyze experience vs salary correlations by job title

Legal and Ethical Considerations
