Nordic Jobs Scraper — Platsbanken (Sweden) + Arbeidsplassen (Norway)

All data comes from official, government-operated open-data APIs. Nothing is scraped. That makes this Actor uniquely reliable (no blocking, no CAPTCHAs, no HTML breakage) and uniquely compliant (source-approved data with published terms of use).

• 🇸🇪 Sweden — Platsbanken: Arbetsförmedlingen JobTech Search API — the Swedish Public Employment Service's official open API covering the vast majority of publicly advertised jobs in Sweden.
• 🇳🇴 Norway — Arbeidsplassen: NAV Job Vacancy Feed — the Norwegian Labour and Welfare Administration's official feed of job vacancies.

One run, one unified schema, two national labor markets — with English-normalized fields, salary when published, cross-board duplicate flagging, and a monitor mode for new-posting alert pipelines.

Why this Actor

	This Actor	Typical job scrapers
Data source	Official government APIs	HTML scraping
Blocking risk	None	Constant arms race
Legal posture	Published open-data terms, attributed	ToS gray zone
Recruiter PII	Actively filtered out	Often included
Proxies needed	No (runs cheap)	Yes

Input

Field	Description
sources	platsbanken (SE), arbeidsplassen (NO), or both
searchQuery	Keywords, e.g. react developer. Norway: matched client-side (the NAV feed has no server-side search)
location	City/municipality/region, e.g. Malmö, Oslo
employmentType	all / full_time / part_time / contract / internship
remoteOnly	Sweden: API remote filter. Norway: best-effort keyword detection
postedWithinDays	Default 30
maxItemsPerSource	Default 100, max 10 000
mode	scrape (everything matching) or monitor (only postings not seen in previous runs — ideal for scheduled alerting)
navFeedToken	Required for the Norway source: your own registered NAV feed token (free — see Compliance below). Sweden needs no token

Export as JSON, CSV, Excel, or feed it to the API/integrations like any Apify dataset.

Monitor mode → recruiting alerts

Set mode: "monitor" and schedule the Actor. Each run outputs only postings not seen before (state kept in a named key-value store). Wire the dataset into Slack/email/n8n/Make for instant new-job alerts.

Duplicate flagging

The same job posted in both countries (or twice in a feed) gets duplicateOf set to the first record's id, via a normalized title + company hash. Nothing is silently dropped — you decide.

Compliance & legal (please read)

This Actor is built GDPR-first and open-data-only:

1. Official sources with attribution. Job ad data originates from Arbetsförmedlingen (JobTech Development), used per their open-data terms, and from NAV / Arbeidsplassen.no, used per the NAV API terms. This Actor is not affiliated with or endorsed by Arbetsförmedlingen or NAV.
2. NAV token — bring your own. The Norway source runs only with your own NAV consumer token (navFeedToken); without it the source is skipped. Registration is free — email the NAV team as described in the feed docs and agree to the NAV API terms. This means you consume NAV data under your own agreement with NAV, including not retaining or displaying inactive/expired ads — this Actor already outputs only ACTIVE ads.
3. No recruiter PII — by design. The output schema has no contact-person fields. NAV's contactList is never read. A tested scrubber redacts personal emails and phone numbers from descriptions ([redacted-contact]), while keeping generic company inboxes (jobs@, hr@, …). Where a contact is needed, use the posting's public applyUrl.
4. You are the data controller downstream. If you store or process this data, GDPR (and national law) applies to you: honor data-minimization, keep retention short (we recommend ≤30 days or until the ad's deadline), and delete postings that disappear from the source.
5. No warranty. This Actor is provided as-is, without warranty of any kind. You are solely responsible for how you use the data and for your own legal compliance.
6. Takedown. Employer or data subject who wants content removed from example outputs: open an issue on this Actor's Issues tab — handled promptly.

Pricing

Pay per event: you're charged a small fee per job posting scraped (volume tiers apply), plus nothing else — platform usage is included. Because the sources are APIs, runs are fast and use minimal compute.

FAQ

Why no Denmark/Finland? v1 ships only sources with official open APIs — that's the whole point of this Actor's reliability and compliance story. Danish/Finnish sources will be added if/when equivalently clean access exists. Feature requests welcome via the Issues tab.

How fresh is the data? Live at query time, straight from the source systems.

Rate limits? The Actor self-throttles politely and backs off on HTTP 429 automatically.
