Jora Jobs Extractor

Jora Jobs Extractor pulls job listings off Jora by keyword and location, giving you job title, company, salary, location, job type, posting date, and a direct link for every matching role. Instead of scrolling through search results and copying data by hand, you get a structured dataset ready for a spreadsheet, dashboard, or hiring-trend report.

Why use this actor

Jora aggregates listings from thousands of employers and job boards, which makes it a useful signal for hiring activity, salary ranges, and role demand across a market. Pulling that data by hand is slow and easy to get wrong. This actor automates the search, pagination, and field extraction so you get consistent, structured records every run.

• No coding required — set your search terms in the input form and run
• Automatic pagination — walks through result pages until it hits your item limit or runs out of listings
• Regional coverage — search Jora's Australian site or other regional Jora domains
• Deduplication — listings are deduplicated by URL within a run
• Per-item resilience — a parsing miss on one listing does not stop the rest of the run

What data it extracts

For every job listing found, the actor captures:

Field	Description
Job title	The title of the role as listed
Company name	The hiring company or agency
Location	City, region, or area listed for the role
Salary	Salary or pay range, when Jora shows one
Job snippet	Short preview text from the listing
Job URL	Direct link to the full listing on Jora
Date posted	How recently the listing was posted
Job type	Full-time, part-time, casual, contract, etc., when available
Listing ID	Jora's internal identifier for the listing
Search query	The keyword used for that run
Search location	The location filter used for that run
Scraped at	UTC timestamp of when the record was collected

How to use it

1. Open the actor and enter a search keyword, such as software engineer or data analyst.
2. Optionally add a location, like Sydney, NSW.
3. Pick a Jora domain if you are searching outside Australia.
4. Set max items to control how many listings the run collects (default is 10).
5. Click Start and open the dataset once the run finishes.

You can also run it via the Apify API, CLI, or one of the client SDKs (Python, JavaScript) if you want to plug it into an existing pipeline.

Results are stored in the actor's dataset, one item per job listing. From the Apify Console you can export the dataset as JSON, CSV, Excel, XML, or HTML, or pull it programmatically through the Apify API.

Who it's for

• Recruiters and staffing agencies tracking open roles across a region or industry
• Job boards and aggregators mirroring or supplementing their own listings
• Market researchers and analysts studying salary bands and hiring trends
• SEO and content teams building job-market pages or reports

Tips for better results

• Broader keywords return more listings; narrow keywords return fewer but more relevant ones.
• Leave location blank to search all locations within the selected Jora domain.
• Raise maxItems if you need full market coverage rather than a quick sample; lower it for fast, cheap test runs.

FAQ

Does this work outside Australia? Yes. Use the joraDomain input to switch between supported regional Jora sites.

What happens if a listing is missing a field, like salary? Fields that Jora does not show for a given listing, such as salary, are returned as null rather than causing the run to fail.

Can I run this on a schedule? Yes. Apify supports scheduled runs, so you can track new listings for a search term over time and compare dataset snapshots.
