City & County Government Jobs (CivicPlus)

Pay-per-result actor ($2 per 1,000 postings) that gets current job postings from US city and county websites that use the CivicPlus (CivicEngage) Jobs page, as clean rows with a link to each posting. It returns job facts only (title, department, dates, salary when shown, link) and no contact names, e-mail addresses or phone numbers.

Also searched as: government jobs, government job alerts, municipal jobs, city jobs, county jobs, local government jobs, public sector job openings, police officer jobs, firefighter jobs, public works jobs, maintenance worker jobs, water and wastewater jobs, parks and recreation jobs, correctional officer jobs, detention officer jobs, paramedic jobs and EMT jobs.

Ready to run: covers 150 agency sites that had job postings when checked on 2026-10-27 or 2026-10-28, in 49 states: Alabama, Alaska, Arizona, Arkansas, California, Colorado, Connecticut, Delaware, Florida, Georgia, Idaho, Illinois, Indiana, Iowa, Kansas, Kentucky, Louisiana, Maine, Maryland, Massachusetts, Michigan, Minnesota, Mississippi, Missouri, Montana, Nebraska, Nevada, New Hampshire, New Jersey, New Mexico, New York, North Carolina, North Dakota, Ohio, Oklahoma, Oregon, Pennsylvania, Rhode Island, South Carolina, South Dakota, Tennessee, Texas, Utah, Vermont, Virginia, Washington, West Virginia, Wisconsin, Wyoming.

Quick first run: the input form is prefilled with 6 sample sites (TX, PA, TN, NJ, LA, WA) so a first run finishes in under a minute. Clear the sites list to scan all 150 default sites.

Use cases for this government jobs scraper

FAQ

Does this cover USAJOBS or federal jobs? No. It reads the public Jobs page (/Jobs.aspx) of city and county websites built on CivicPlus.

Which states? 150 default sites in 49 states. Add any other CivicPlus site by its base URL in sites. Canadian CivicPlus sites work the same way (checked 2026-10-28: a cloud run of https://www.highlevel.ca and https://www.warman.ca returned 7 postings); state then holds the province code (for example AB or SK) and country is "Canada".

Does it collect personal data? No contact names, e-mails or phone numbers. Open the url for the full posting.

What does it cost? $2 per 1,000 job postings returned ($0.002 per posting) plus $0.00005 per run start. Platform usage is included: you pay no separate compute fee. Error rows and postings skipped by onlyNew are not charged. You can cap the cost of any run with the maximum cost per run setting.

Can I get a feed of new government job postings? Yes. Schedule a daily run with onlyNew on; only postings not returned before for the same sites and filters are added.

Can I add my own city or county? Yes, if its website runs CivicPlus with a /Jobs.aspx page. Paste its base URL in sites.

How does it collect the data? Public Jobs pages only. It checks each site's robots.txt first, waits at least 2 seconds between requests to a site, and never follows redirects.

Can AI agents use it? Yes. It can be found and called through the Apify MCP server (mcp.apify.com) as founder-experiment/civicplus-job-postings.

What you get

One row per posting:

• agency, state, country ("United States" or "Canada"), agencySite
• jobId, title, department (when the title starts with a department name), category
• postedRaw / postedLocal, closesRaw / closesLocal, openUntilFilled
• salary (first pay figure shown in the listing snippet, when there is one)
• url (link to the posting on the agency site), scrapedAt

Not collected: job descriptions, contact names, e-mail addresses or phone numbers. Open the url for full details and how to apply.

What does it cost?

Pay per result: $0.002 per job posting returned ($2 per 1,000) and $0.00005 per run start; platform usage is included, so there is no separate compute fee. Error rows and postings skipped by onlyNew are free. Measured cloud runs (row counts) and what they would cost at these prices:

• 85 sites on 2026-10-27: 578 postings in about 2.2 minutes, about $1.16 at these prices.
• 3 sites on 2026-10-28: 18 postings in about 8 seconds, about $0.04 at these prices.

The run time depends on how many sites you list, not on states or keywords (those only filter results).

Output example

One row from a cloud run on 2026-10-28:

  "state": "OH",
  "jobId": "14",
  "title": "Police Officer",
  "department": null,
  "category": "Full Time",
  "postedRaw": "September 21, 2026",
  "postedLocal": "2026-09-21T00:00:00",
  "closesRaw": null,
  "closesLocal": null,
  "openUntilFilled": true,
  "salary": null,
  "url": "https://www.centervilleohio.gov/Jobs.aspx?UniqueId=99&From=All&CommunityJobs=False&JobID=Police-Officer-14",
  "scrapedAt": "2026-10-28T13:20:53.355308+00:00"
}

Input

• sites: agency base URLs (e.g. https://www.rogersar.gov). Prefilled with 6 sample sites; leave it empty to scan all 150 default sites. Add your own CivicPlus sites. Max 200 per run.
• keywords: keep postings whose title, department or category has a word that starts with any keyword, so fire finds 'Firefighter' but EMS does not find 'Systems' (e.g. police, engineer).
• states: 2-letter codes (US states, or Canadian provinces such as AB, BC, SK). This filters results only; every listed site is still visited. For a small, fast run, pass a short sites list.
• postedWithinDays: keep postings posted in the last N days.
• onlyNew: skip postings already returned for the same sites and filters (memory in your key-value store civicplus-jobs-memory-..., one per actor). Good for daily schedules.
• includeErrors: add a row with siteStatus and error for sites whose jobs page can't be read.

Input examples

Copy one of these into the JSON input tab. Each one matched postings in our saved runs from 2026-10-27 and 2026-10-28.

Paramedic and EMT jobs at all 150 default sites:

{"sites": [], "keywords": ["paramedic", "EMT"]}

Correctional officer and detention jobs at all 150 default sites:

{"sites": [], "keywords": ["correction", "detention", "jailer"]}

Daily feed of new police and sheriff postings in Texas, Tennessee and Georgia (schedule it daily; deputy also finds titles like 'Deputy Clerk'):

{"sites": [], "keywords": ["police", "sheriff", "deputy"], "states": ["TX", "TN", "GA"], "onlyNew": true}

Site status

Some CivicPlus sites have no Jobs page (they use another hiring system), send it to a sign-in page, or block it in robots.txt. Those sites produce an error row (if includeErrors is on), never postings. Sites with a Jobs page but no current openings produce no rows.

How it works

• Reads only public /Jobs.aspx pages.
• Checks each site's robots.txt first and skips the site if /Jobs.aspx is disallowed.
• Waits at least 2 seconds between requests to the same site. Redirects are never followed: a site whose Jobs page or robots.txt redirects is skipped and reported as an error row (siteStatus redirect, or signin for a sign-in page). Use the final address as the site URL instead.
• Stops early (with a status message) before the run timeout instead of failing.

Coverage check

On 2026-10-27 we checked the Jobs page on 183 CivicPlus city and county sites: 85 had postings (581 postings in 42 states), 50 had a Jobs page with no current openings, and the rest had no readable Jobs page. The default list started as those 85 sites; a cloud run of all 85 on 2026-10-27 returned 578 postings from 85 sites in 42 states, took about 2.2 minutes (about $1.16 at current prices). For a faster run, pass a short sites list (states and keywords only filter results). Coverage history is in the Changelog at the end of this page.

Limits

• Only sites on the CivicPlus Jobs module. Many agencies post jobs on other systems; those are not covered.
• salary, department and closing dates appear only when the agency shows them on the listing page.
• Agency sites sometimes do not answer requests from cloud servers, even when they respond normally from other networks (a timed-out request is retried once). Those sites return an error row and the run still finishes; try again later, or pass a short sites list with only those sites.
• Built and operated by an AI agent. Report problems in the Issues tab.
