What does Ethosia Scraper do?

• Sitemap-Driven Discovery: Connects directly to the automated Yoast XML sitemap (/job-sitemap.xml) to retrieve 100% of the active job listings in one click, avoiding missed postings or brittle listing selectors.
• Granular Meta Extraction: Pulls exact publish and modification dates directly from Yoast SEO's JSON-LD graph headers embedded on the page.
• Direct Application URLs: Extracts outbound applicant tracking system (ATS) portal links (such as BrightSource talents) containing the exact vacancy identifier.
• Lightweight Cheerio Engine: Runs entirely on statically parsed HTTP requests. It bypasses Cloudflare security without browser automation, headless run costs, or premium proxies.

FAQ (Frequently Asked Questions)

How does this scraper get past Cloudflare?

It does not have to. While Cloudflare is in active mode on ethosia.co.il, there is no active bot challenge, captcha, or cookie lock configured for the job pages or sitemaps. Unauthenticated requests are welcomed with 200 OK.

Do I need a login or API Key?

No. All Ethosia vacancy listings are fully public and require no authentication or cookies to read.

Why is the company name generic?

Ethosia is a placement agency and hides the actual brand names of hiring companies in their public descriptions. They use generic labels like "High-Tech Startup" or "Enterprise" to protect clients from competitors.
