Bayt Job Listings Extractor

Pulls job listings from Bayt.com, a major job portal for the Middle East and North Africa. Give it one or more Bayt.com search URLs and it scrapes job titles, company names, city and country locations, salary ranges, career levels, experience requirements, job summaries, and posting dates. The output is structured JSON. Pagination is handled automatically.

Bayt.com covers job markets across the UAE, Saudi Arabia, Qatar, Kuwait, Egypt, Lebanon, Jordan, and other MENA countries. This actor works on any Bayt.com search results URL, including country pages, keyword searches, city-filtered results, and searches with any filters applied.

URL formats that work

The actor accepts any standard Bayt.com search results URL:

• Country page: https://www.bayt.com/en/uae/jobs/
• Keyword search: https://www.bayt.com/en/international/jobs/software-engineer-jobs/
• City search: https://www.bayt.com/en/uae/jobs/software-engineer-jobs-in-dubai/
• Any search URL with filters copied directly from the Bayt.com results page

Pagination

Each URL is scraped page by page. The actor reads the next link in the page to find the next results page and continues until the per-URL item limit is reached or there are no more pages.

Optional fields

salary, workType, citizenshipReq, and yearsOfExperience appear on some listings and not others. Bayt.com employers choose whether to display salary. Work type and citizenship requirements are only listed when the employer fills them in. When not present, these fields are null in the output.

Rate and volume

Bayt.com shows roughly 20 to 30 job cards per page. At the default setting of 25 items per URL, the actor usually finishes in one or two pages. Increase maxItems to collect more per URL. Large runs over many URLs work well on the Apify platform.
