What does Hacker News Jobs Scraper do?
Hacker News Jobs Scraper extracts public job, listing, or page records from public URLs supplied in the input tab. It checks JSON-LD and JSON responses first, then uses a conservative page metadata fallback. It does not bypass authentication or extract private data.
Why use Hacker News Jobs Scraper?
- Normalized title, company, location, description, URL, source, and extraction status fields.
- Explicit timeout plus keyword and location filters.
- Apify scheduling, API access, integrations, monitoring, and dataset exports.
What data can it extract?
| Field | Description |
|---|---|
| title | Public job or page title |
| companyName | Public company name when available |
| location | Public location label |
| description | Cleaned public description |
| jobUrl | Canonical public listing URL |
| sourcePortal | Source hostname |
How to run
Open the input tab, confirm the target start URLs, set maxItems, and optionally add keyword or location filters. Download the dataset as JSON, HTML, CSV, or Excel.
Output
Records preserve public provenance. When a page has no structured listing, extractionStatus is page_metadata. When no target URL is known from the CSV, the Actor outputs configuration_required instead of inventing a result.
Tips, limitations, and support
Use only public, permitted URLs and respect each website terms and rate limits. Some sites need a site-specific board URL. Public pages may contain personal data; use results lawfully and with a legitimate purpose. Use the Issues tab for feedback and the API tab for programmatic access.

Data source
This Actor uses the official public Hacker News Firebase/Algolia API by default: https://hacker-news.firebaseio.com/v0/jobstories.json. It returns live public records and preserves source IDs, titles, authors, timestamps, URLs, descriptions, scores, and comments where the API exposes them. No API key or login is required.
