European Public Job Boards: France, Sweden & Norway

Unofficial, not affiliated with France Travail, Arbetsförmedlingen or NAV. This Actor reads public job postings from the national public employment services of three countries and returns them in one common schema, so you can compare or merge job markets without writing three parsers.

What does it do and which fields does it return?

Country	Source	Where the data comes from
France	France Travail (candidat.francetravail.fr)	The site's public offer search by place code and the public offer pages
Sweden	Arbetsförmedlingen Platsbanken (arbetsformedlingen.se)	The open JobTech JobSearch API, no key needed
Norway	NAV Arbeidsplassen (arbeidsplassen.nav.no)	NAV's official public job vacancy feed

Every dataset item is one job posting with these fields (fields a source does not publish are null):

source, country, jobId, url, title, employerName, location, municipality, region, regionCode, postalCode, latitude, longitude, contractType, workingHours, fullTime, salaryText, publishedAt, expiresAt, occupation, occupationCode, occupationScheme (SSYK 2012 for Sweden, STYRK-08 for Norway), occupationField, description, numberOfPositions, language, scrapedAt.

No contact persons are returned: recruiter and contact-person records (names, e-mail addresses, phone numbers) are never read. In the description text, every line or sentence that holds an e-mail address, a social handle, a phone number or a "contact person" phrase is replaced by [removed].

How do I run it?

1. Open the Actor and press Start. The prefilled input needs no account details and no keys.
2. The prefill reads 10 jobs from each source: France Travail for department 75D (Paris), the newest Platsbanken ads for Sweden, and the newest NAV ads for Norway. In the local test run this produced 30 items in about 33 seconds.
3. Open the Overview table in the dataset, or export JSON, CSV or Excel.
4. To adapt it, change franceLocations (place codes such as 69D, 52R or 75117), add a query for Sweden and Norway, set Swedish region or municipality codes or Norwegian municipality names, and raise maxItemsPerSource.

Why does France not support keywords? The robots.txt of France Travail disallows keyword search (motsCles=), so this Actor never sends one. France is searched by place code only. The query field is applied to Sweden (title, description and employer name) and Norway (every word must appear in the ad title or employer name).

How much does it cost to scrape public job boards?

You pay 0.0012 USD per job (one result event per dataset item) and nothing for starting a run. Example: 1,000 jobs = 1.20 USD. The prefill (30 jobs) costs 0.036 USD at that price. Apify platform usage is separate from the per-result price and depends on your plan.

Limitations and what a small run can do

• France description is short. France Travail fills in the full offer text with a browser script from a separate service that this Actor does not call. The description for France is the roughly 200-character snippet the site shows in its search list. Salary text and weekly hours come from the offer page. There is no occupation (ROME) code, region name, postal code, expiry date or position count for France in the data this Actor reads.
• France dates are approximate. The site shows "published today / yesterday / N days ago"; publishedAt is the calendar date computed from that text.
• France needs place codes. No keyword search (see above). Each page of 20 offers and each offer page is fetched at least one second apart, so a France run takes about one second per job when franceFetchDetailPages is on. Switch it off to skip salary and hours and the run needs far fewer requests.
• Sweden: the API returns at most about 2,000 ads per query; narrow the query or the place filter beyond that. Salary is only filled when the employer wrote a salary text.
• Norway: NAV's feed lists every change to every ad in time order and cannot filter by place or keyword. The Actor reads the feed from norwayLookbackDays back (up to 40 pages per run), keeps the newest still-active ads, and filters by municipality and keyword on the title and employer name. Use a longer window when you filter. The feed has no salary field, and the language is guessed from the text (null when unsure).
• Snapshots: each run is a snapshot taken at scrapedAt. NAV's terms for its feed require republished ads to be removed when they become inactive and updated when they change, so refresh data you keep or show to others.
• Free plan: the default input returns 30 jobs for 0.036 USD of result charges. Larger runs are limited by your plan's credit and by the maximum charge you set for the run; the Actor stops cleanly when that limit is reached.

FAQ

Is this official? No. It is an independent Actor and is not affiliated with, endorsed by or sponsored by France Travail, Arbetsförmedlingen or NAV.

Does it respect robots.txt? Yes. At the start of each source the Actor reads the host's robots.txt and stops that source if the paths it needs are disallowed or the file cannot be read (for the two API hosts a 404 means no restrictions; France Travail's file must be readable). Requests to each host are sequential, with at least one second between them.

Which licences apply? The Swedish ads are published under CC0 according to the JobTech API. NAV publishes the feed under its own terms of use for the job-ad API. France Travail's general conditions say that the job offers it publishes may be reused for any purpose, except contact data. Check the terms of each source for your use case.

Does it need a login or proxy? No. It uses plain HTTP requests, no browser and no proxy.
