Sweden Jobs Scraper: export Platsbanken / Arbetsförmedlingen job ads

What is Sweden Jobs Scraper?

Sweden Jobs Scraper exports job ads from Platsbanken, the national job board of Arbetsförmedlingen (the Swedish Public Employment Service), to JSON, CSV or Excel. It covers all 40,000+ live ads in Sweden and the archive of every ad since 2016.

It uses Arbetsförmedlingen's official open-data API (JobTech JobSearch and Historical ads). There is no browser, no login, no API key and no proxy, so runs are fast and cheap.

What makes it different

• No 2,100-result cap. The official API stops paging at 2,100 hits per search. This Actor walks the results by publication date, so it can export every live ad in Sweden in one run (tested: 9,982 of 9,982 ads in Stockholm County in about 2 minutes).
• Historical ads since 2016, with the same fields and filters, for trend analysis.
• Plain-English input. City and county names (including English spellings like Gothenburg), occupation fields and contract types. You don't need taxonomy codes.
• Salary in SEK parsed from the ad text ("24 900–31 000 kronor per månad" becomes 24900 / 31000 / SEK / MONTH). Benefits like friskvårdsbidrag are ignored.
• Only new jobs. Monitoring mode outputs, and charges for, only ads you haven't seen before.
• GDPR-safe by default. Contact persons' names, e-mails and phone numbers are removed. Personal identity numbers of sole traders are never output, and street addresses are left out.

Use cases

• Recruiters and staffing agencies: get every new ad for the roles you place, by municipality or county, every morning.
• Sales and lead generation: find Swedish employers that are hiring (company name, organisation number, location, logo, apply link). These are hiring signals for HR tech, training and relocation services.
• Labour-market research and journalism: analyse demand by occupation, region, contract type and time, using 10 years of historical ads.
• Job boards and apps: fill your platform with fresh Swedish jobs, refreshed daily in monitoring mode.
• Students and juniors: pull all "no experience required" or part-time jobs around a city.
• AI agents and RAG apps: give an LLM fresh, structured Swedish job data through the API or the Apify MCP server.

How to use Sweden Jobs Scraper

1. Open the Actor and enter keywords (Swedish or English, e.g. utvecklare, data engineer, sjuksköterska) and/or locations (Stockholm, Gothenburg, Skåne län). The prefill is developer in Stockholm with 20 results, which finishes in a few seconds and costs about $0.02.
2. Optional: add filters such as occupation field, employment type, full-/part-time, remote, or published within N days. Set Max results to 0 to get every matching ad.
3. Click Start.
4. When the run finishes, open the Output tab and download the data as JSON, CSV, Excel or HTML, or connect it to Google Sheets, Zapier, Make, n8n or your own code.
5. To get only new ads every day, turn on Only new jobs and create a Schedule (see Integrations and scheduling).

Input guide

Keywords (keywords)

One search per line: job titles, skills or employer names, in Swedish or English. Each line is a separate search in Platsbanken's API; an ad found by several lines is saved only once. Leave it empty to get all ads that match the filters.

• Good: utvecklare, data engineer, sjuksköterska, lastbilschaufför
• Bad: developer in Stockholm (put places in Locations), IT jobs (use Occupation fields instead)
• Tip: Swedish ads are mostly written in Swedish. Searching both developer and utvecklare finds more ads.

Locations (locations)

Swedish municipalities (Stockholm, Göteborg, Malmö) or counties (Skåne län, Västra Götalands län). English and ASCII spellings work too (Gothenburg, Malmo, Scania), and so do codes (0180 for a municipality, 12 for a county). With several locations, an ad in any of them is returned.

• Good: Stockholm (the municipality), Stockholms län or Stockholm county (the whole county), Uppsala, 1480
• Bad: Södermalm (a district, not a municipality), Sweden (leave the field empty for all of Sweden)
• Warning: a bare name means the municipality, so Stockholm is the city, not the county.
• Unknown names are skipped with a warning (also listed in RUN_SUMMARY). If none is known, the run stops with an error.

Filters

All filters are sent to Arbetsförmedlingen's API, so only matching ads are downloaded and charged.

• occupationFields: occupation fields (yrkesområden) such as it, healthcare, education, construction or transport_logistics.
• employer: employer name (e.g. Volvo Car Corporation) or organisation number (e.g. 556074-3089; dashes and spaces are removed).
• employmentTypes: permanent, fixed_term, substitute, on_call, seasonal. Leave empty for any.
• workingTime: any (default), full_time or part_time.
• remoteOnly: only ads that Arbetsförmedlingen classifies as remote work (distans / hemifrån).
• noExperienceRequired: only jobs that don't require previous work experience.
• publishedWithinDays: only ads from the last N days, e.g. 7.
• coordinates + radiusKm: radius search around a point, e.g. 59.33,18.07 (central Stockholm) and 15. The radius defaults to 10 km.

Historical data (dataSource, publishedFrom, publishedTo)

• dataSource: current (default) is the live Platsbanken; historical is Arbetsförmedlingen's archive of every ad since 2016 (8M+ ads).
• publishedFrom / publishedTo: a date range, YYYY-MM-DD. Works for both sources. With publishedWithinDays too, the later start date wins.
• Warning: a historical search without a date range covers all ads since 2016. Always set a date range, a keyword or a location.

Max results (maxResults)

A limit for the whole run, across all keywords. 0 means no limit. The Console prefill is 20 for a quick test; the default when calling via API, MCP or an AI agent is 20. With no keywords, no filters and no limit, you get all ~40,000 live ads.

Output options

• descriptionFormat: text (default), html, both or none (smaller dataset).
• stripContactInfo (default on): removes the names of listed contact persons, e-mail addresses and phone numbers from descriptions. Keep it on to avoid storing personal data.

Monitoring and proxy

onlyNewJobs and monitorName: see Monitoring mode. proxyConfiguration is off by default and not needed.

Example input:

{
  "keywords": ["developer", "utvecklare"],
  "locations": ["Stockholm", "Göteborg"],
  "occupationFields": ["it"],
  "workingTime": "full_time",
  "publishedWithinDays": 7,
  "maxResults": 1000,
  "onlyNewJobs": true
}

Output

Each job ad is one item in the run's dataset. Here is one real item from a test run on 2026-10-05 (description shortened):

}

Notes:

• employmentType is in English. regular is Arbetsförmedlingen's general type "Vanlig anställning"; the contract length is then in duration. The original label stays in employmentTypeLabel.
• remoteOnly uses Arbetsförmedlingen's own classification. For other ads, workMode is detected from the text ("på distans", "hybrid", "remote"), and remote is true for both remote and hybrid ads.
• organizationNumber is only output for companies and other legal entities. Sole traders use their personal identity number, so it is left out.
• Empty values are null (lists are []), so every item has the same columns in CSV and Excel.

Dataset views

The Output tab has two views of the same data:

View	What it shows
Jobs	A compact table: title, employer, city, county, published date, deadline, employment type, working time, salary range and link. Best for a quick look.
Full details	Adds occupation, occupation field, organisation number, all locations, scope of work, open positions, salary text, required skills and languages, work mode, description and the external apply link.

Every export (JSON, CSV, Excel, API) contains all fields, whichever view you look at. The run also writes a RUN_SUMMARY record to the key-value store: per keyword how many ads matched and were listed, any errors or unknown locations, and the number of jobs saved.

How to export the data

• In the Console: Output tab > Export > JSON, CSV, Excel, HTML, XML or RSS. You can pick fields and the view.
• Google Sheets: add the Google Sheets integration to the Actor or a schedule (Integrations tab), or use =IMPORTDATA("https://api.apify.com/v2/datasets/<DATASET_ID>/items?format=csv&token=<TOKEN>").
• API: https://api.apify.com/v2/datasets/<DATASET_ID>/items?format=json (also csv, xlsx, xml). Add &view=overview for the compact table.

Pricing

This Actor uses pay per event. You pay $0.80 per 1,000 jobs ($0.0008 per job saved to the dataset), plus Apify's standard Actor start fee of $0.00005 per run. Platform compute is included in the price, and there is no separate fee for details.

Example run	Jobs saved	Cost
Prefill test (developer, Stockholm, 20 jobs)	20	about $0.02
Any search with Max results 1,000	1,000	about $0.80
All live ads in Stockholm County	9,982	about $8.00
All live ads in Sweden	~40,000	about $32
Daily monitoring, ~50 new ads per day for 30 days	1,500	about $1.20 per month

What you don't pay for:

• ads that don't match your filters (they are never downloaded),
• ads already seen in monitoring mode,
• searches that fail,
• the RUN_SUMMARY record.

To cap spending, set Max results or Max charge per run in the run options; the Actor stops cleanly at that limit and keeps what it saved. Apify's free plan includes monthly platform credit you can use for this Actor.

Use it via API

Get your API token in the Apify Console under Settings > API & Integrations. The examples below run the Actor, wait for it to finish and read the jobs.

JavaScript / Node.js (npm install apify-client)

import { ApifyClient } from 'apify-client';

const client = new ApifyClient({ token: 'YOUR_APIFY_TOKEN' });

const run = await client.actor('kadi_bence/sweden-jobs-scraper').call({
    keywords: ['data engineer', 'utvecklare'],
    locations: ['Stockholm', 'Göteborg'],
    workingTime: 'full_time',
    maxResults: 500,
});

const { items } = await client.dataset(run.defaultDatasetId).listItems();
console.log(`${items.length} jobs`, items[0]);

Python (pip install apify-client)

from apify_client import ApifyClient

client = ApifyClient("YOUR_APIFY_TOKEN")

run = client.actor("kadi_bence/sweden-jobs-scraper").call(run_input={
    "keywords": ["data engineer", "utvecklare"],
    "locations": ["Stockholm", "Göteborg"],
    "workingTime": "full_time",
    "maxResults": 500,
})

for job in client.dataset(run["defaultDatasetId"]).iterate_items():
    print(job["title"], job["employer"], job["city"], job["salaryMin"], job["url"])

cURL (runs the Actor and returns the jobs in one request; best for runs under 5 minutes)

curl -X POST "https://api.apify.com/v2/acts/kadi_bence~sweden-jobs-scraper/run-sync-get-dataset-items?token=YOUR_APIFY_TOKEN" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{"keywords": ["developer"], "locations": ["Stockholm"], "maxResults": 20}'

Apify CLI

$apify call kadi_bence/sweden-jobs-scraper --input '{"keywords": ["developer"], "locations": ["Stockholm"], "maxResults": 20}' --output-dataset

MCP server for AI agents (Claude, Cursor, VS Code and other MCP clients)

Add the Apify MCP server with this Actor as a tool. Your client will ask you to sign in to Apify (OAuth), or you can send your token as an Authorization: Bearer YOUR_APIFY_TOKEN header.

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "apify": {
      "url": "https://mcp.apify.com/?actors=kadi_bence/sweden-jobs-scraper"
    }
  }
}

Then ask your agent, for example: "Find all nursing jobs (sjuksköterska) in Skåne län published in the last 7 days and list the employers and deadlines."

Integrations and scheduling

• Schedules: in the Console go to Schedules > Create new, pick this Actor (or a saved task with your input) and a time, e.g. every day at 07:00. Each run gets its own dataset.
• Webhooks: on the Actor's Integrations tab, add a webhook for "Run succeeded" to send the run and dataset ID to your server.
• Zapier, Make and n8n: use the Apify app or node. Trigger "Actor run finished", then "Get dataset items", then send each job to Slack, e-mail, a CRM or Airtable.
• Google Sheets: the Google Sheets integration appends each run's jobs to a sheet, which is the easiest job-alert setup.
• Slack and e-mail: Apify's built-in Slack and e-mail integrations can notify you when a run finishes.

Monitoring mode (only new jobs)

Turn on Only new jobs (onlyNewJobs: true) and schedule the Actor:

1. The first run outputs all matching ads and saves their IDs as a baseline.
2. Every later run outputs only ads that weren't listed before. In monitoring mode every item has isNew: true.
3. You pay only for those new ads.

The "already seen" list is stored in a named key-value store (sweden-jobs-monitor) in your own Apify account, one list per Monitor name and input. Changing any search setting (keywords, locations, filters, dates, description format) starts a new list; Max results and the proxy don't. If a run is cut short by Max results or Max charge per run, only the ads it saved are remembered, so the rest still count as new next time.

Two schedules with the same search need different Monitor names. To start over, use a new monitor name.

Other job scrapers by the same developer

FAQ

How does Sweden Jobs Scraper work? It calls Arbetsförmedlingen's official JobSearch API (live ads) or Historical ads API (archive since 2016). Each request returns 100 full ads, so no extra detail requests are needed. Searches with more than 2,100 matches are walked newest-first in publication-date windows, and duplicates are removed by ad ID.

Is there an official Platsbanken API? Yes. JobTech Dev publishes JobSearch and Historical ads, open and without a key. This Actor adds paging past 2,100 results, English filters, SEK salary parsing, contact stripping, monitoring and exports.

How many results can I get? Is there a limit? All of them. There's no 2,100 limit. Your only limit is maxResults, which you can set to 0. One edge case is the historical archive: if more than 2,100 ads share the exact same publication timestamp, some are skipped and the log and RUN_SUMMARY tell you. Narrow the search with a location or keyword to avoid that.

How fast is it? About 4,000–5,000 jobs per minute. The 20-job prefill run takes a few seconds, and all 9,982 ads in Stockholm County took about 2 minutes in a test.

Why do I get fewer jobs than Platsbanken shows? Usually because of maxResults, a filter, or an unrecognized location (see RUN_SUMMARY). Stockholm means the municipality; use Stockholms län for the whole county.

Why is salary often empty? Most Swedish ads don't state a figure ("lön enligt överenskommelse"). The Actor fills salaryMin/salaryMax when the ad gives a number, and salaryText / salaryType otherwise.

Do I need a proxy or an API key? No. The API is open and needs no key. Leave the proxy off.

Is it legal to scrape Platsbanken? Yes. The Actor uses Arbetsförmedlingen's official open-data API, which publishes the ads under CC0 (public domain) for anyone to reuse, commercially too. The data comes from Arbetsförmedlingen / JobTech Dev, and attribution is appreciated. The Actor collects only public job ads, checks robots.txt, and strips contact persons' names, e-mails and phone numbers by default. If you re-use descriptions that still mention people, treat them according to GDPR.

Can I use it from Python or another app? Yes. Use the Apify API, the JavaScript or Python client, the CLI, or the MCP server, as shown in Use it via API.

How do I get only new jobs every day? Turn on Only new jobs and create a schedule. See Monitoring mode.

The run failed or a field is missing. What should I do? Open an issue on the Issues tab with the run link or your input. Fixes usually land within 24–48 hours. See the changelog below for recent changes.
