JobKorea Jobs Scraper (잡코리아 채용공고)

Scrapes job listings from JobKorea, one of Korea's two dominant job boards. Pick job categories (AI & software, marketing, manufacturing, and 18 more), optionally narrow by region, career level or employment type, and get structured JSON: title, company, location, experience level, salary, deadline, keyword tags, posting time.

No login, no API key, no headless browser. JobKorea serves its listing pages server-side, so this runs on plain HTTP crawling, which keeps it fast and cheap.

I built this because Korean job data is basically absent from the usual sources. Indeed and LinkedIn coverage of Korea is thin, and JobKorea has no public API. This is the third actor in my Korean jobs suite: Saramin (keyword search over Korea's largest board), Albamon (part-time and hourly jobs), and now JobKorea (category browsing, strongest for corporate and enterprise hiring). Together they cover the Korean job market from three angles.

What people use it for

Labor market analytics: how many AI/data openings went live in Seoul this week, and at which companies. HR tech and recruiting products feed the listings into aggregators, sourcing tools and matching engines - hiring data is the compliant way to know which companies are actively recruiting and for what skills. Lead generation is the less obvious one: a company hiring six backend developers is a company in build mode, which makes hiring data a decent buying-intent signal.

Use with AI agents (MCP)

This actor works as a live tool for AI agents through the Apify MCP server, so an agent can pull live Korean hiring data mid-conversation ("what companies posted AI jobs in Seoul today?"). Point your MCP client (Claude, Cursor, or any MCP-compatible agent) at:

For agent calls, pick one category, set maxItems to 10-20 and keep sortBy: "latest" - responses come back in seconds and stay compact. English input enums and parsed output fields mean agents never have to handle Korean text to filter.

Input

{
    "dutyCategories": ["10031"],
    "localCodes": ["I000"],
    "sortBy": "latest",
    "maxItems": 200
}

• dutyCategories - job-function categories (multi-select in the UI; 10031 is AI & Software & Data). Each selection runs as its own crawl
• dutyCodes - optional fine-grained duty codes for specific roles (e.g. 1000186 for web planning). The full code list is in the checkbox values on jobkorea.co.kr/recruit/joblist
• localCodes - optional regions (Seoul is I000); combined as category x region
• careerTypes, jobTypes - optional experience / employment-type filters
• sortBy - latest (default), deadline (closing soonest) or recommended
• maxItems - total cap across all filter combinations (duplicates are removed)
• scrapeJobDetails - visits each job's detail page for salary, working hours, full address, openings and a description summary. Roughly doubles the request count, so it's off by default
• proxyConfiguration - leave the default (residential, KR)

Keyword search is deliberately not included: JobKorea's robots.txt disallows its search endpoints, and this actor stays on the allowed listing paths. Category + region browsing covers the same ground for monitoring use cases.

Output

One item per listing:

{
    "id": "49742362",
    "title": "(증평) React UI 개발, 체제비지원, 삼시세끼제공",
    "company": "㈜고려진단",
    "companyId": "29653675",
    "url": "https://www.jobkorea.co.kr/Recruit/GI_Read/49742362",
    "location": "충북 증평군 외",
    "experience": "경력6년↑",
    "education": "학력무관",
    "employmentType": "프리랜서",
    "salary": "270~300만원(월)",
    "positionLevel": "팀원",
    "keywords": ["React", "UI개발", "프론트엔드", "웹개발"],
    "postedAt": "2026-08-07T09:38:00.000Z",
    "postedAtRaw": "22분 전 등록",
    "deadline": "~09/06(일)",
    "deadlineDate": "2026-09-06",
    "filter": "dutyCtgr=10031"
}

Korean labels from the site (경력, 학력, 급여 and so on) are parsed into English field names, relative posting times ("22분 전 등록") are converted to ISO timestamps, and deadline dates get their year inferred. You don't need to read Korean to use the output.

With scrapeJobDetails on, items get an extra details object with salary, working hours, full street address, openings count, employment type in schema.org format, and the posting's description summary - sourced from the page's structured data, which is more stable than markup scraping.

Notes

Only public data, and only robots.txt-allowed paths. There's no login involved, nothing scraped from behind authentication, and no personal data - job postings are public advertisements. Standard disclaimer: you're responsible for how you use the data.

Deadlines like 상시채용 (rolling) don't map to a date, so deadlineDate is null and the raw string is kept in deadline.

If a run comes back empty or a field stops populating, JobKorea probably changed their markup. Open an issue and I'll usually have a fix out within a day - I run this daily myself, so breakage tends to get caught fast.

For keyword-based search over Korean jobs, use the Saramin scraper. For part-time and hourly jobs, use the Albamon scraper.
