Bayt Jobs Scraper

Slug: fatihtahta/bayt-jobs-scraper

Overview

Bayt Jobs Scraper collects structured job listing data from Bayt, including job titles, descriptions, companies, locations, salary details, experience requirements, application attributes, and source metadata. It is designed for teams that need consistent job-market data without manually reviewing listings one by one. Bayt is a widely used employment platform across the Middle East and nearby markets, making it a practical source for hiring, compensation, and labor-market analysis. The actor automates recurring collection workflows so you can capture fresh listings in a repeatable format. This saves time, reduces manual effort, and makes downstream reporting and integration easier.

• Product and content teams: Identify in-demand job titles, skills, and employer patterns to inform editorial calendars, landing pages, and market-facing content.
• Developers and data engineering teams: Feed structured Bayt job data into ETL pipelines, internal dashboards, search indexes, and downstream APIs.
• Lead generation and enrichment teams: Discover active hiring companies, enrich account records, and prioritize outreach based on live recruitment activity.
• Monitoring and competitive intelligence teams: Watch changes in posting volume, target geographies, role mix, and hiring signals for selected markets or segments.

Output

6.1 Output destination

The actor writes results to an Apify dataset as JSON records. And the dataset is designed for direct consumption by analytics tools, ETL pipelines, and downstream APIs without post-processing.

6.2 Record envelope (all items)

Every record includes these stable identifiers:

• type (string, required): Record type. Current value: job.
• id (number, required): Numeric Bayt job identifier.
• url (string, required): Canonical Bayt job URL.

Recommended idempotency key: type + ":" + id

If the same listing is discovered through multiple searches or source URLs, use type + ":" + id for deduplication and upserts.
