Wisconsin State Government Jobs Scraper

Pay-per-result actor ($0.50 per 1,000 jobs) that exports public Wisconsin state government job listings (the public job list on wisc.jobs) 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: Wisconsin state jobs, wisc.jobs, State of Wisconsin careers, Madison government jobs, Wisconsin public sector jobs, US state government jobs feed.

Coverage (2026-10-29 test run of this actor): the public list held 305 postings. Some list a deadline; others are open until filled (closingDate is null).

What it does

• Reads the public job list on wisc.jobs (one request per run, no paging; the page itself carries the whole list).
• Returns one row per posting: title, agency, agency code, job classification code and title, job category, location, posting date, deadline date, link, attribution.
• Filters by title words, excluded words, agency, location, job category, days to deadline 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 posting pages: no description, duties, salary 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. Internal-only postings are not on the public list.

What does it cost?

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 list (305 postings on 2026-10-29): about $0.15 per run.
• Daily onlyNew run: you pay only for new postings; 30 new ones cost $0.015.

Input

• titleKeywords: keep jobs whose title or classification has a word starting with a keyword (engineer, nurse).
• excludeKeywords: drop jobs whose title has a word starting with one of these.
• agencies: part of the agency name (Corrections, Transportation, Natural Resources).
• locations: part of a location (Madison, Milwaukee, Statewide).
• jobCategories: part of a job category (Healthcare, Legal, Architecture & Engineering).
• closingWithinDays, includeNoClosingDate, postedWithinDays: date windows from today.
• onlyNew: return only jobs not returned by an earlier run (memory in your key-value store wi-state-jobs-memory).
• maxItems: return at most this many jobs.

Polite access

• robots.txt is read first; the run stops if it disallows the list or returns an error. No robots.txt (404) means no rules.
• Two requests per run (robots.txt, then the list), at least 2.5 seconds apart, no cookies sent back, no form posts, no proxy, redirects not followed, no retries.
• The run stops, with no job rows charged (only the run-start fee), if the list returns an error or the job data is missing.
• Please run it at most once a day.
• If the State of Wisconsin 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 wi-state-jobs-memory in your own Apify account. With onlyNew on, postings already in that memory are skipped. Delete that store to start fresh.

Why no salary or description? The public list does not carry them. Open the url for the full posting 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.
