Example output

Values are examples, shortened from a live run:

{
  "title": "Desarrollador full stack .net",
  "company": "HITSS",
  "city": "Bogotá",
  "salaryMin": 6000000,
  "salaryMax": 8000000,
  "currency": "COP",
  "contractType": "Indefinido",
  "minExperienceYears": 5
}

How much does it cost?

$0.0009 per job delivered, $0.90 per 1,000 jobs. The job page's details cost nothing extra, only time. Links that are not Elempleo searches, unknown cities and jobs whose page has closed are free.

Worked example: a live run read four searches (all of Medellín, all remote jobs, developers paid 6-10 million, "analista" in Bogotá from 4 million a month), 2,552 jobs with their details in 6 minutes 57 seconds, for $2.30. Without details, 10,173 jobs from all of Bogotá and "enfermera" took 8 minutes 55 seconds and cost $9.16.

Use it from AI agents (MCP)

The Actor is available through the Apify MCP server. Add https://mcp.apify.com/?tools=highbrow_fame/elempleo-jobs to Claude, ChatGPT or any MCP client and the assistant can search Colombian jobs with this Actor's own input fields. You pay per job delivered, at the same rate.

Is it legal to scrape Elempleo?

The Actor reads public Elempleo job offers only. Employers keep their company name, and "Empresa confidencial" stays unnamed. Phone numbers, WhatsApp links, e-mail addresses and the names of contact persons written into the ads are replaced with [phone removed], [e-mail removed] and [name removed] (98 phones, 65 e-mails and 6 names in the 2,552-job run). That keeps the output to job-market data rather than personal data under GDPR and similar laws; every record carries its url, and candidates apply on Elempleo. You remain responsible for how you use the data and for the site's terms. This is an independent tool, not affiliated with Elempleo.

FAQ

How many jobs per search? Elempleo serves the first 10,000 jobs of a search and no more: in a live run, all of Bogotá gave 9,976 of its 13,991. Split a bigger search by city or by a filter to get the rest.

Why a few jobs less than Elempleo's count? Jobs of the same day change places between Elempleo's pages, so one can be listed twice while another is skipped. The run counts every job once and reads the list again when it came up short: Medellín gave 1,490 of 1,494 jobs, the remote search 616 of 616.

Do all jobs show a salary? No. salaryMin and salaryMax come for every job that shows its band, 1,883 of 2,552 in the live run; the others keep it confidential.

Why fewer jobs than the search shows? Elempleo's result list still shows some offers whose page has already closed: 48 of 2,552 in a live run. With details on, these are left out and not charged.
