PNet Scraper — South Africa Jobs & Salaries, No Phones

Get South African job listings from PNet (pnet.co.za): job title, company, location, the salary as the employer wrote it plus the parsed minimum, maximum, currency and period, whether the job is partly or fully remote, the posting date, the date the ad runs until and a short snippet — and, if you want, the full ad as plain text, the contract type, full or part time, the candidate groups the employer names (EE/AA, Non EE/AA and others), industry and city. Paste your PNet search links — or just type a keyword and a place.

Why this one

• 🔗 Your search, as you set it up. Set every filter you like on pnet.co.za and paste the link. Or type keywords here — accountant, registered nurse, sales representative — with a place and a radius, and choose posted within, full or part time, contract types, experience, partially remote, Easy Apply and newest first below.
• ⚡ Fast. A live test run read four searches — accountants within 50 km of Johannesburg, every job in Cape Town from the last 7 days, full-time permanent engineering jobs newest first, permanent sales representative jobs around Durban from the last 14 days — 3,937 jobs in 136 seconds.
• 💰 Salaries, parsed. 1,204 of those 3,937 jobs showed a salary. "R 30 000 - R 35 000 per month", "R450 000 - R550 000 p.a.", "R25k - R30k CTC per month" become salaryMin, salaryMax, salaryCurrency and salaryPeriod (494 jobs); the rest mostly said "Market related" (494) or "Negotiable" (93).
• 🇿🇦 EE/AA at a glance. Tick Open every job ad and candidateTypes lists the groups the employer names: in a live run of 360 ads, 89 said EE/AA and 94 Non EE/AA.
• 📄 Full ads when you need them. The full ad text, the contract type (Permanent, Fixed Term, Temporary …), full or part time and industry. A live run read 360 jobs with their ads in 9 minutes.
• 🔒 No recruiter names, no phone numbers. Contact persons are not output, and phone numbers, e-mail addresses, WhatsApp links, recruiters' LinkedIn profiles and recruiters' names written into the ads are replaced with [phone removed], [e-mail removed], [profile link removed] and [name removed] (in a live run of 240 recruitment and call centre ads: 19 phone numbers, 27 e-mail addresses and 7 names).
• 💸 You pay only for jobs delivered. A link that is not a PNet search, or a place PNet does not know, comes back as a free record with the reason.

How to use it

1. Paste Search links from pnet.co.za, one per line — or type Keywords and a Place and choose the filters.
2. Set Max jobs per search, and tick Open every job ad if you need the full ads.
3. Press Start, and download the results from the Output tab as JSON, CSV or Excel.

To follow new jobs, save your input as a task with Posted within (days) set to 1 and schedule it daily.

You can also call it from the Apify API, from Make, Zapier or n8n, or from an AI agent through the Apify MCP server.

Speed. PNet turns away visitors who ask too fast (in our tests, about ten minutes of "Access Denied" after 35 job pages in 19 seconds), so the run paces itself: search pages go quickly (25 jobs each), while opened job ads go one every 1.5 seconds — about 40 a minute. In the live runs above not one request was refused.

Pricing

You are charged per job delivered — see the price on this page. Opening the job ads costs nothing extra, only time. Links that are not PNet searches, and places PNet does not know, are free.

FAQ

How many jobs per search? As many as PNet lists: the run reads page after page, to the last one (all of South Africa was 15,793 jobs on 632 pages). In the live run the engineering search stopped at the 1,500 jobs set as the maximum, of 3,363. Set Max jobs per search as high as you need.

What are "related" jobs? For some keywords PNet adds related jobs after the ones that match and counts them in its result number (for "C# developer": 88 matches and 784 related). They come with match: "related"; untick Include related jobs to leave them out.

Why are some jobs outside the place I typed? PNet searches a radius around the place (30 km unless you set Radius), so in the live run an accountant search within 50 km of Johannesburg also brought jobs in Centurion (91) and Midrand (66). PNet also lists some jobs abroad under South African places (a Cape Town search held 50 jobs in Australia). The location field says where each job is.

Why no recruiter names or phone numbers? They are personal data. Every job has its url; you apply on PNet.

Is this affiliated with PNet or StepStone? No. This is an independent tool that reads public PNet job listings.
