Platsbanken Job Scraper - Swedish Job Ads API

Scrape lediga jobb and historical jobbannonser from Platsbanken through Arbetsförmedlingen's official JobTech APIs. This Sweden job scraper uses no HTML scraping, proxies, or evasion and returns clean JSON, CSV, or Excel dataset rows.

Use cases

• Daily hiring-signal monitor: schedule onlyNew hourly or daily and alert recruiting teams.
• Skills trends: export historical ads to measure Python, AI, language, and occupation demand.
• Recruitment agency leads: filter by municipality, region, occupation, employer, and remote work.
• Job boards, labour-market research, and recruitment analytics via Apify, Zapier, or Make.

Input

{"query":"utvecklare","maxResults":20,"onlyNew":true}

Municipality and region accept taxonomy IDs or names such as Stockholm; names are resolved through the JobTech taxonomy API when available and otherwise passed through unchanged. The safe per-query limit is 2,000 ads; split broad searches for larger exports.

Pricing examples

Approximately $1.50 per 1,000 successful job-ad events plus a small run fee: 100 ads ≈ $0.15, 2,100 ads ≈ $3.15, and a daily 100-ad monitor ≈ $4.50/month before run fees. Only successfully pushed items are charged.

FAQ

Why only 2,000 ads? The official search API has an offset limit. Split broad searches by region or occupation.

How do I find codes? Enter names such as Stockholm; the actor resolves them via https://taxonomy.api.jobtechdev.se/v1/taxonomy/, or provide IDs directly.

What does onlyNew do? It stores IDs per filter set and emits each matching ad once. Failed pushes are not marked as seen.

How is this different from scrapers? It uses official Arbetsförmedlingen APIs, not browser automation, HTML parsing, proxies, or anti-bot workarounds.
