• 📄 Automatically paginate through all result pages until it reaches your limit
• 🏢 Capture company, company profile link, city and country
• 💰 Add structured salary (min / max / currency), experience and employment type (detail mode)
• 📝 Include the full job description (detail mode)
• 🧹 Return clean, deduplicated, structured records — no HTML, no clutter
• ⬇️ Export to JSON, CSV, Excel, HTML or via API in one click

❓ FAQ

Do I need a Bayt account or API key? No. Just provide a search term or a Bayt URL.

Which countries can I scrape? The whole MENA region — UAE, Saudi Arabia, Egypt, Qatar, Kuwait, Jordan, Lebanon, Bahrain, Oman and more — or international for all at once.

Does it include salary? Yes, for jobs that publish it. Enable Include full description & salary to get structured salaryMin / salaryMax / salaryCurrency, plus experience, education and employment type.

Does it include the full job description? Yes — enable detail mode and each job's complete description is fetched.

Why are some company IDs missing? Some employers post as "Confidential Company" and don't expose a public profile. The company name is still captured; the ID/URL is only present for public companies.

Are results deduplicated? Yes. Each job is uniquely identified by its Bayt job ID and appears once per run.

What formats can I export? JSON, CSV, Excel, HTML, RSS and XML — via the dashboard or the API.

How do I keep data fresh? Schedule the actor to run on the interval you need; each run returns the current live listings.

📌 Tips for best results

• Start narrow, then widen. Test one keyword and a small maxItems, confirm the fields, then scale up.
• Use country for focus. Pick a specific market for local hiring intelligence, or international for the whole region.
• Enable detail mode for salary & descriptions. The list is fast; detail mode adds pay, experience and full text.
• Use URLs for precise filters. Apply filters on Bayt itself, then paste the URL.
• Schedule for freshness. The market moves daily; a scheduled run keeps your dataset current.
