🔬 EURAXESS Jobs Scraper: research vacancies that stay current

Find public European research jobs, fellowships, and academic vacancies with the detail needed to decide what to do next. EURAXESS is the official source, while the search alias “Euroaxess” is also covered in this documentation.

See the opportunity, the deadline, and the next step in one record. Build a focused feed from EURAXESS search pages or specific job links. Keep rich details, source links, and meaningful changes together.

🧾 Rich records Capture classification, requirements, contacts, and application routes.

🔔 Change-aware Spot new postings and exact changed fields on recurring runs.

🧭 Source-safe filters Use current EURAXESS labels without silently broadening your search.

🩺 Honest diagnostics See blocked pages, partial detail fetches, and rate limits clearly.

🎯 Who this is for

Research recruitment teams: “I need a reliable shortlist before the best deadlines pass.” Keep the source deadline, location, and application path close to the job title.

Universities and labs: “I want a recurring view of the roles relevant to our department.” Filter by country, research field, profile, funding, or organisation type.

Academic job seekers: “I do not want to reread the same posting every morning.” Use onlyNewSinceLastRun to focus on new or changed opportunities.

Research market analysts: “I need depth from one important source, not a shallow list from everywhere.” Keep public descriptions and source-labelled fields available for downstream review.

✨ What it does

This Actor is EURAXESS-first. It focuses on a dependable, high-depth view of one research opportunity source instead of blending unrelated boards together.

• Start with a public EURAXESS search URL, a public job URL, or structured filters.
• Enrich listing rows with the public detail page when fetchDetails is enabled.
• Preserve source URLs, dates, classification, location, funding, application links, and contact details when published.
• Deduplicate by the EURAXESS job ID across pages and mixed inputs.
• Keep missing source fields absent. The dataset never replaces them with guesses.
• Use bounded pages, rows, retries, concurrency, and request pacing for repeatable runs.

🧭 How it works

STEP 1 Choose the scope Paste a public URL or select visible EURAXESS filters. A supplied URL takes priority.

STEP 2 Read the opportunity Get the listing first, then collect the public detail page for the fields your workflow needs.

STEP 3 Monitor what changed Persist a scope baseline and receive `NEW`, `UPDATED`, or `CURRENT` events.

🛡️ Public-source boundaries

The Actor reads public EURAXESS search and detail pages only. It does not use login flows, private profiles, hidden endpoints, or access bypasses. Review the current source terms and robots policy before production use. A source block or rate limit becomes a visible diagnostic, not a silent empty search.

When EURAXESS returns 429, the Actor honors the published retry delay when available. It does not infer that a missing page means an opportunity expired. Incomplete runs do not advance the monitoring baseline.

⚙️ Input

The Console prefill uses a 30-day posting window, one page, ten job rows, one request at a time, a 1.5-second request delay, two retries, public detail enrichment, and Apify datacenter proxy settings. All limits are finite. startUrls overrides structured filters when supplied.

🔔 Monitoring semantics

• First observation emits NEW when onlyNewSinceLastRun is enabled.
• An altered fingerprint emits UPDATED with exact changed_fields.
• An unchanged posting is omitted in changes-only mode.
• A normal snapshot emits CURRENT.
• Absence from a bounded or rate-limited crawl never emits EXPIRED.
• A partial, blocked, or aborted run does not commit the new baseline.

💳 Pricing

Pricing is pay per successful complete job row. Empty runs, no-change runs, diagnostic rows, and partial rows are free. There are no subscriptions or PPR charges.

❓ FAQ

Can I use a specific EURAXESS job URL?

Yes. Add one or more public search or job URLs to startUrls. They take priority over structured filters, and mixed search and detail inputs are supported.

Does it access private researcher information?

No. It reads public search and detail pages only. It does not use login flows, private profiles, or hidden access paths.

What happens when a filter label is outdated?

The run records an invalid-filter diagnostic and avoids broadening the search. Use the current visible label or source value from EURAXESS.

Does a rate limit delete my monitoring history?

No. The run exposes the rate-limit diagnostic and keeps the last complete monitoring baseline.
