Manitoba Government Jobs Scraper (Canada)

Pay-per-result actor ($0.50 per 1,000 jobs) that exports public Manitoba government job listings (Canada) from the province's job site (jobsearch.gov.mb.ca) as clean rows: JSON, CSV, Excel or through the API, with a link to each posting. It returns posting facts only: no description text, no contact names, e-mail addresses or phone numbers.

Also searched as: Manitoba government jobs, Manitoba civil service jobs, Province of Manitoba careers, Winnipeg government jobs, Canada government jobs, Canada provincial government jobs feed, public sector jobs Canada.

Coverage (checked 2026-10-29, from one read of the public feed): 60 open postings (59 in English, 1 in French), posted 2026-06-19 to 2026-10-27, closing 2026-10-29 to 2027-01-15. The site offers 20 category feeds plus "All Positions".

Quick start

1. Run it with the prefilled input: {"category": "all", "maxItems": 20}. That returns up to 20 jobs, about $0.01 at $0.50 per 1,000.
2. Export the dataset as CSV, JSON or Excel, or read it through the API.
3. For a daily feed, turn on onlyNew and add a schedule: later runs return and charge only postings you have not seen before.

How to scrape Manitoba government jobs?

• Reads the public RSS job feed that the job site publishes for RSS readers (one request per run), for all positions or one category.
• Returns one row per posting: advertisement number, title, classification, job type, department, location, salary (as shown plus annual min/max numbers), equity advertisement type, posting type, posted date, closing date, language, link, licence attribution.
• Filters by title words, excluded words, department, location, job type, language, minimum salary, days to closing and days since posting.
• onlyNew returns only postings you have not seen before. Good for a daily schedule.

What it does not do

• It does not open individual job pages: no description, duties, qualifications or how-to-apply text.
• It returns no contact names, e-mails or phone numbers. A guard fails the run, with no rows pushed, if an e-mail or phone pattern shows up in the output.
• It does not log in, create accounts or apply for jobs.

How much does it cost to scrape Manitoba government jobs?

Pay per result: $0.0005 per job returned ($0.50 per 1,000) and $0.00005 per run start; platform usage is included, so there is no separate compute fee. Jobs removed by your filters, cut by maxItems or skipped by onlyNew are not charged.

• Full feed (60 postings on 2026-10-29): about $0.03 per run.
• Daily onlyNew run: usually a few new postings, well under $0.01 per day.

Can I get a daily feed of new Manitoba government jobs?

Yes. Schedule a daily run with onlyNew on: each run returns only postings that earlier runs did not return, so you pay only for new postings.

Polite access

• robots.txt is read first; the run stops if it disallows the feed or returns an error. No robots.txt (404) means no rules.
• Two requests per run (robots.txt, then the feed), at least 2.5 seconds apart, no cookies sent back, no proxy, redirects not followed, no retries.
• The run stops, with nothing charged, if the feed returns an error or is not RSS.
• Please run it at most once a day.
• If the Manitoba government asks us to stop, we will unpublish this actor.

FAQ

What does it cost? $0.50 per 1,000 jobs returned ($0.0005 per job) plus $0.00005 per run start. Platform usage is included. Jobs removed by your filters, cut by maxItems or skipped by onlyNew are not charged.

How does onlyNew work? The actor remembers the IDs of the postings it reads (up to 20,000) in a key-value store named manitoba-gov-jobs-memory in your own Apify account. With onlyNew on, postings already in that memory are skipped. Delete that store to start fresh.

How long does a run take? A few seconds plus start-up: it makes two requests.

Where does the data come from? From the public RSS job feed on jobsearch.gov.mb.ca, the same feed anyone can add to an RSS reader without logging in. Each row carries the OpenMB licence attribution and the link to the posting.

Why no job descriptions? To keep the output to posting facts and links. Open the url for the full ad and how to apply.

Does it collect personal data? No contact names, e-mails or phone numbers. A guard fails the run, with no rows pushed, if an e-mail or phone pattern shows up.
