JobsDB Scraper — Job Listings Export

This JobsDB scraper exports public job listings from Hong Kong and Thailand for recruiting research, salary benchmarking, talent-market monitoring, and repeatable job-search exports. Use this JobsDB jobs scraper to turn a public search into structured listings, and use the JobsDB API-compatible Actor interface in schedules, workflows, or MCP clients.

What this Actor exports

Each result is a public JobsDB listing normalized into a consistent record. It keeps the source URL and search URL alongside the job, company, location, salary, work arrangement, posting date, classifications, public description teaser, requirements bullets, and apply link.

Who is it for?

• Recruiters building a current shortlist of public openings.
• Talent teams comparing job titles, locations, and salary labels.
• Analysts tracking demand by role, company, or market.
• Operations teams that need a bounded export for a recurring JobsDB search.

Search Thailand with a location:

{
  "keywords": "data analyst",
  "location": "Bangkok",
  "country": "TH",

Examples and practical use cases

Use the input recipes above to create a small validation export first. Common workflows include weekly role monitoring, company hiring research, location-specific salary reviews, and exporting a saved public JobsDB search to a spreadsheet or database.

Pricing and limits

This Actor uses Apify pay-per-event billing. Current rates, plan discounts, and any free-tier allowance are shown on the live Pricing tab. Start with maxItems: 10, then increase it only after confirming the query returns the market and roles you expect.

Tips for better results

• Use a specific title or skill phrase for a focused export.
• Add location when a country-wide result set is too broad.
• Set country explicitly unless your public search URL already identifies the market.
• Keep maxItems modest for a first run, then scale a verified query.
• Preserve searchUrl with downstream exports so the search context remains auditable.

Data availability and limits

The Actor processes anonymous public listings only; it does not require account credentials or collect private job data. JobsDB does not publish every optional field on every listing, so salary, company metadata, classifications, and requirement bullets can be absent. The description field represents the public listing teaser rather than a private or account-only page.

API usage

Node.js

import { ApifyClient } from "apify-client";

const run = await client.actor("fetch_cat/jobsdb-jobs-scraper").call({
  keywords: "data analyst",
  country: "TH",
  maxItems: 10,
});
const { items } = await client.dataset(run.defaultDatasetId).listItems();
console.log(items);

client = ApifyClient("<APIFY_TOKEN>")
run = client.actor("fetch_cat/jobsdb-jobs-scraper").call(run_input={

})
items = client.dataset(run["defaultDatasetId"]).list_items().items
print(items)
