InfoJobs.net Job Scraper: Extract Spain's Job Market Data Efficiently

Introduction: Unlocking Spain's Premier Job Market Data

InfoJobs is the largest and most successful online job search platform in Europe, operating primarily in Spain with over 2.8 million CVs and 35,000 companies. For recruiters, market analysts, job aggregators, and HR professionals, accessing this vast repository of employment data can provide invaluable insights into Spain's job market trends, salary benchmarks, and hiring patterns.

However, manually collecting job listings from InfoJobs.net is time-consuming and inefficient, especially when tracking multiple job categories, locations, or monitoring market changes over time. This is where the InfoJobs.net Job Scraper becomes essential—automating the extraction of detailed job information at scale while maintaining data accuracy and structure.

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": "ES" // Choose a country that matches your target data location
  },
  "max_items_per_url": 20, // Total number of items you want to scrape
  "urls": [ // Job list page URLs to scrape
    "https://www.infojobs.net/jobsearch/search-results/list.xhtml?keyword=a&searchByType=country&segmentId=&page=1&sortBy=RELEVANCE&onlyForeignCountry=false&countryIds=17&sinceDate=ANY",
    "https://www.infojobs.net/ofertas-trabajo?keyword=&provinceIds=33&segmentId=&page=1&sortBy=PUBLICATION_DATE&onlyForeignCountry=false&countryIds=17&sinceDate=ANY",
    "https://www.infojobs.net/ofertas-trabajo?keyword=&provinceIds=9&segmentId=&page=1&sortBy=PUBLICATION_DATE&onlyForeignCountry=false&countryIds=17&sinceDate=ANY"
  ],
  "ignore_url_failures": true // Continue scraping even if some URLs fail
}

The urls parameter: List of job list 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": "ES" // Choose a country that matches your target data location
  },
  "max_items_per_url": 20, // Total number of items you want to scrape
  "keyword": "software engineer", // Search keyword to find jobs
  "sort_by": "PUBLICATION_DATE", // Sort jobs by specific criteria
  "since_date": "_7_DAYS", // Filter by posting date
  "only_foreign_country": false, // Scrape jobs from only other countries
  "page": 1 // Starting page number for search results
}

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

The sort_by parameter: Sort jobs by various criteria:

• "PUBLICATION_DATE" - Publication date (newest first)
• "RELEVANCE" - Relevance (most relevant first)

The since_date parameter: Filter jobs by posting date:

• "ANY" - Any time
• "_24_HOURS" - 24 hours ago
• "_7_DAYS" - 7 days ago
• "_15_DAYS" - 15 days ago

The only_foreign_country parameter: If set to true, the scraper will scrape jobs from other countries only (jobs outside Spain).

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 job list 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., Spain for infojobs.net).

How to Use the Scraper: Step-by-Step Guide

Step 1: Choose Your Scraping Approach

Option A - URL-Based Scraping: Navigate to InfoJobs.net and create search queries with your desired filters (keywords, location, job category, date range). Copy the complete URLs from your browser after applying filters.

Option B - Filter-Based Scraping: Use the built-in search filters to automatically generate search queries:

• Define your search keyword (e.g., "software engineer", "marketing")
• Select sort_by criteria (publication date or relevance)
• Set since_date to filter by posting date (24 hours, 7 days, 15 days, or any)
• Toggle only_foreign_country if you want jobs from other countries
• Specify the starting page number

Step 2: Configure Input Parameters

For URL-Based Scraping: Create your JSON input with the collected URLs in the urls array. Leave filter parameters empty or null.

For Filter-Based Scraping: Set up your configuration with search parameters (keyword, sort_by, since_date, etc.). Leave the urls field empty or set it to null.

Configure appropriate proxy settings. For scraping Spanish jobs, consider using Spanish (ES) or European proxies for better results.

Step 3: Set Extraction Limits

Determine how many jobs you need per search page or URL (max_items_per_url). For comprehensive market research, set higher limits (50-100). For quick snapshots, 20-50 items per URL is sufficient.

Step 4: Execute and Monitor

Run the scraper and monitor progress. The retry mechanism will handle temporary failures automatically. Enable ignore_url_failures to ensure one failed URL or search query doesn't stop your entire job.

Step 5: Process Output Data

Export data in your preferred format (JSON, CSV, Excel) for analysis, database integration, or further processing.

Best Practices:

• Choose the right method: Use URL-based scraping for complex, multi-filter queries; use filter-based scraping for simpler, keyword-driven searches
• Refine your filters: When using filter-based scraping, start broad and narrow down based on results
• Use appropriate date filters: Set since_date to focus on recent job postings and avoid outdated listings
• Test before scaling: Start with a small max_items_per_url to verify your configuration works correctly
• Handle pagination: For URL-based scraping, include pagination URLs; for filter-based, use the page parameter to continue from where you left off

Best Practices

• Use Residential Proxies: RESIDENTIAL proxy type provides better success rates than datacenter proxies
• Respect Rate Limits: Add appropriate delays between requests to avoid overwhelming the server
• Update URLs Regularly: Search result URLs may expire; regenerate them periodically
• Verify Data Quality: Spot-check extracted records against source pages to ensure accuracy
• Handle Null Values: Some fields (like salary, company name) may be empty for certain listings
• Time Your Scraping: Run during off-peak hours for better performance and lower detection risk

Common Issues and Solutions

Problem: Low success rate or blocked requests Solution: Switch to RESIDENTIAL proxies and ensure proxy country matches target region (Spain/EU)

Problem: Missing or incomplete data fields Solution: Some employers don't disclose all information (salary, company name). This is expected behavior.

Problem: URLs returning no results Solution: Verify the search URL works manually in a browser. InfoJobs may have updated their URL structure.
