S1 Jobs Scraper: Scotland Jobs, Salaries & Employers

S1 Jobs is Scotland's leading job board, advertising thousands of live vacancies across Glasgow, Edinburgh, Aberdeen, Dundee, Inverness, and the Highlands. This Actor pulls every job listing and decodes the full JobPosting JSON-LD schema into clean, structured rows ready for B2B lead generation, salary benchmarking, or recruitment analytics.

Pay-per-result pricing, no subscription, no minimums.

What does S1 Jobs Scraper do?

Scrape s1jobs.com at scale. Enter any combination of keywords (electrician, nurse, accountant, project-manager, driver) and locations (Glasgow, Edinburgh, Aberdeen, Fife, Highlands), and the Actor walks the search listings, follows the next page links, and fetches each job's detail page. Detail pages are parsed from the embedded Schema.org JobPosting JSON-LD block, giving you perfectly structured data with no fragile DOM scraping.

Each row contains the job ID, title, employer name and logo, full description, posting and expiry dates, employment type, parsed salary band (min / max / currency / period), and structured address (locality, region, postal code, country, latitude, longitude). The Actor is built on Crawlee + Cheerio, so it runs on lightweight HTTP, not a browser. Standard datacenter IPs succeed without proxies.

Built for recruiters, talent intelligence teams, salary researchers, regional economic analysts, and CRM enrichment pipelines.

Why use S1 Jobs Scraper?

• Scotland-only coverage. S1 Jobs is the dominant job board for Scottish vacancies. Capture roles the major UK-wide boards miss.

• Geo-coordinates. Address parsing includes latitude and longitude for every job. Power maps and heatmaps.
• Job alerts pipeline. Filter by dateWithinDays to emit only fresh postings. Wire into Slack, email, or webhook alerts.
• No anti-bot blocks. Standard datacenter IPs work. No residential proxy spend required.

Pricing

$1.99 per 1,000 results. Pay only for the data you extract. A 5,000-row run costs about $9.95 of platform credit. Compute and storage costs are negligible because the Actor runs on lightweight HTTP, not a browser. No subscription, no minimums, no proxy overhead.

Tips or Advanced options

• Use startUrls for precision. If you only want jobs from a specific listing, paste the URL directly. Direct detail URLs always emit 1 row each.
• Combine keywords and locations. Every keyword is paired with every location, so ["electrician", "driver"] x ["glasgow", "edinburgh"] produces 4 search URLs.
• Trim descriptions for B2B lead lists. Set includeDescription: false to drop description HTML. Rows shrink from ~10 KB to ~1 KB, so a 10,000-row run costs 10x less to store.
• Tighten freshness. Set dateWithinDays: 7 to only emit jobs posted in the last week. Great for daily job alerts.
• Avoid burning rate limits. S1 Jobs is open. Default maxConcurrency: 8 is comfortable. If you observe 429s, drop to 4 or enable Apify Residential GB.
• Use the B2B Leads view. In the Output tab, switch to the leads view to see a clean table of title, employer, location, and apply URL ready for CRM import.

FAQ, disclaimers, and support

Is scraping S1 Jobs legal? This Actor accesses publicly available job postings. You are responsible for ensuring your use case complies with s1jobs.com's Terms of Service, the UK Computer Misuse Act, and applicable data protection laws. Do not republish full descriptions verbatim. This Actor is intended for personal research, recruitment analytics, and CRM enrichment, not bulk redistribution.

How fresh is the data? The Actor fetches live pages in real time. Job postings appear in your dataset within seconds of the run completing.

Why are some salaries missing? S1 Jobs JSON-LD sometimes includes only unitText (e.g. YEAR) without numeric min/max values. The Actor captures the period but leaves min/max as null. Set includeDescription: true and parse the visible salary string in your downstream pipeline for a second pass.

What's the difference between S1 Jobs Scraper and cwjobs-scraper? CWJobs targets the UK tech / IT job market on cwjobs.co.uk. S1 Jobs targets general Scottish vacancies on s1jobs.com. They are sister Actors in the same portfolio and use the same JSON-LD extraction logic.

How do I report a bug or request a feature? Open an issue in the Issues tab. Include the run ID and a sample URL that reproduces the problem.
