Unstop Jobs Search Scraper

What does Unstop Jobs Search Scraper do?

Unstop Jobs Search Scraper extracts current public job opportunities from Unstop through its first-party jobs feed. It is a bounded Unstop jobs API alternative for collecting listing content; it does not access candidate profiles, authenticated pages, or private recruiter data.

The Actor supports keyword search plus single and multiple public job URL lookups. Each emitted row is verified against the numeric opportunity ID and includes a substantial public description, organization data, job details, and registration requirements.

Why use Unstop Jobs Search Scraper?

• Build searchable job datasets for labor-market research and recruitment analytics.
• Monitor public roles, skills, salary disclosures, work modes, and registration deadlines.
• Resolve known Unstop job URLs into consistent structured records.
• Schedule recurring runs, call the Actor through the Apify API, connect datasets to integrations, and monitor failures in Apify Console.
• Keep costs predictable with explicit item, page, request, delay, and timeout limits.

The Actor uses ordinary sequential HTTPS requests. It does not require a browser, login, proxy, CAPTCHA bypass, cookies, or fingerprint evasion.

What data can Unstop Jobs Search Scraper extract?

Field	Type	Description
jobId, title, company	string	Verified opportunity identity and organization.
description, descriptionHtml	string	Sanitized public job description in text and HTML.
locations, location, workMode	array/string	Structured places and working arrangement.
skills, workFunctions, eligibilityRules	array/object	Public requirements and categories.
salaryMin, salaryMax, salaryCurrency	number/string	Compensation only when the source marks it as disclosed.
registrationDeadline, viewsCount	string/integer	Public registration and popularity metadata.
jobUrl, sourceApiUrl	string	Canonical public listing and source request URLs.
detailVerified, verificationEvidence	boolean/object	Machine-readable data-quality evidence.

Empty and synthetic values are omitted. The Actor deliberately does not fabricate an applyUrl; jobUrl is the public Unstop listing.

How to scrape Unstop jobs

1. Open the Actor input tab in Apify Console.
2. Select search, single, or multiple mode.
3. For search mode, enter a keyword query and optional location. For direct modes, provide official unstop.com/jobs/ URLs ending in a numeric opportunity ID.
4. Set small maxItems, maxPages, and maxRequests values for an initial run.
5. Start the Actor and inspect the dataset plus RUN_SUMMARY and RUN_DIAGNOSTICS in the key-value store.
6. Download results or connect the dataset to your preferred Apify integration.

Direct modes scan the current open-jobs feed for the requested IDs. If an ID is no longer present, the run reports that honestly instead of emitting a placeholder.

How much will it cost to scrape Unstop?

This Actor uses platform compute rather than a browser, so small bounded runs are typically lightweight. Actual cost depends on your Apify plan, memory setting, page count, request latency, and current platform pricing. Check the Actor run estimate in Apify Console before scheduling large recurring jobs. Start with three items and a few pages, then raise limits only when the measured match rate requires it.

Input

See the input tab for full configuration options. A bounded search example is:

{
  "mode": "search",
  "query": "business",
  "location": "",
  "maxItems": 3,
  "maxPages": 3,
  "maxRequests": 5,
  "requestTimeoutSecs": 60
}

The search matcher requires every query word and every location word to occur in the public opportunity payload. maxPages, maxRequests, requestDelayMs, and requestTimeoutSecs provide hard operational bounds.

Output

You can download the dataset in various formats such as JSON, HTML, CSV, or Excel. Simplified records look like this:

[
  {
    "jobId": "1700123",
    "title": "Senior Software Engineer",
    "company": "Example Technology Pvt Ltd",
    "location": "Bengaluru, Karnataka, India",
    "skills": ["Python", "System Design"],
    "salaryCurrency": "INR",
    "jobUrl": "https://unstop.com/jobs/senior-software-engineer-example-1700123",
    "detailVerified": true
  },
  {
    "jobId": "1700456",
    "title": "Business Development Executive",
    "company": "Example Company",
    "workMode": "In Office",
    "jobUrl": "https://unstop.com/jobs/business-development-executive-example-1700456",
    "detailVerified": true
  }
]

RUN_SUMMARY records request and page counts, feed totals, emitted records, access method, and final status. RUN_DIAGNOSTICS explains source, lookup, or validation failures and is never inserted into the dataset.

Tips and advanced options

• Begin with a broad one-word query if a narrow multi-word query returns no matches.
• Increase maxPages together with maxRequests; each scanned feed page consumes one request.
• Use direct mode only for currently open public listings.
• Add a modest requestDelayMs for larger scans or frequent schedules.
• Keep maxItems low while validating downstream integrations.

Local development

From this Actor directory, use:

npm ci --no-audit --no-fund
npm run check
npm test
apify validate-schema
apify run --purge
npm run validate

Local output is stored under storage/ only and is not uploaded to Apify Console.

FAQ, disclaimers, and support

Why did a direct lookup fail?

The opportunity may be closed, removed, malformed, or beyond the configured page/request bounds. Inspect RUN_DIAGNOSTICS, confirm the URL ends in the numeric opportunity ID, and increase both limits carefully if needed.

Does this Actor need a proxy or account?

No. It uses only the current public jobs feed. If Unstop changes access requirements, the Actor fails with diagnostics rather than attempting bypass techniques.

Is scraping Unstop legal?

Our Actors are ethical and do not extract any private user data, such as email addresses, gender, or location. They only extract what the user has chosen to share publicly. We therefore believe that our Actors, when used for ethical purposes by Apify users, are safe. However, you should be aware that your results could contain personal data. Personal data is protected by the GDPR in the European Union and by other regulations around the world. You should not scrape personal data unless you have a legitimate reason to do so. If you're unsure whether your reason is legitimate, consult your lawyers.

Use the Actor only for lawful purposes, respect Unstop's applicable terms and robots directives, and apply appropriate retention controls. For programmatic use, open the Actor's API tab. For bugs or feature requests, use the Actor's Issues tab and include a redacted input plus run ID.
