HiringCafe Jobs Scraper

Extract public HiringCafe search results into one normalized job record per listing. It is designed for recruiters, labor-market analysts, and AI agents that need stable job titles, company names, locations, salary signals, skills, application links, source provenance, and collection times.

Best fit for this Actor

• Start with a role or skill query when you need a bounded sample of current HiringCafe listings.
• Paste a public HiringCafe search URL when the site filters represent the exact market you need.
• Use sourceUrl, applyUrl, and scrapedAt to retain provenance in a recruiting or market-research workflow.

The Actor works with public search results and keeps the collection workflow read-only.

Focused standalone workflow

This Actor is designed as a focused standalone workflow for collecting and normalizing public HiringCafe search results. Start with it when one structured job record per listing is the useful handoff to your own recruiting, analytics, or AI workflow.

Practical workflow

A talent analyst starts with data engineer, limits collection to 25 listings, and receives normalized title, companyName, location, workplaceType, skills, compensation fields, and applyUrl. They can then compare demand and salary signals across saved datasets while retaining the exact sourceUrl and scrapedAt for review.

Quick start

{
  "searchQuery": "data engineer",
  "maxResults": 25,
  "maxPages": 3
}

To preserve filters selected in HiringCafe, use a public search URL instead:

{
  "searchUrls": [
    {
      "url": "https://hiringcafe.com/?searchState=%7B%22searchQuery%22%3A%22data%20engineer%22%7D"
    }
  ],
  "maxResults": 25,
  "maxPages": 3
}

Input reference

Field	Type	What it controls
searchQuery	string	Role, skill, or phrase used for standard HiringCafe search.
searchUrls	array	Public HiringCafe search pages; these preserve site-selected filters and override searchQuery.
maxResults	integer	Maximum persisted job records and billable job events.
maxPages	integer	Maximum public search pages examined per supplied search URL.

What data you receive

Each dataset item represents one public HiringCafe listing. Fields are normalized into a concise schema that works well in spreadsheets, warehouses, and AI workflows:

Field	Meaning
jobId, title, companyName	Stable identity and employer context.
location, workplaceType, seniorityLevel, employmentTypes	Role location and arrangement attributes.
skills, requirementsSummary	Public requirements and technical signals.
salaryMin, salaryMax, salaryCurrency, salaryPeriod	Reported compensation when present.
applyUrl, source, sourceUrl, scrapedAt	Application destination and source provenance.

Use through the API

curl -X POST "https://api.apify.com/v2/acts/khadinakbar~hiringcafe-jobs-scraper/runs?token=$APIFY_TOKEN" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{"searchQuery":"data engineer","maxResults":25,"maxPages":3}'

After completion, read the default dataset URL returned by Apify to retrieve the job records. Check the OUTPUT record for the compact terminal outcome and RUN_SUMMARY for page coverage and safe diagnostics.

Use with AI agents through Apify MCP

Find up to 25 public HiringCafe data-engineer listings. Return title, company, location, workplace type, skills, salary fields, application URL, and source URL. Stop at 25 and report whether the terminal outcome is complete, partial, or empty.

The Actor is read-only. Give the agent a bounded query or public search URL, then have it preserve applyUrl, sourceUrl, and scrapedAt in downstream work.

Pricing

This Actor uses Pay per event plus Apify platform usage. A billable event occurs only when a complete, validated job record is persisted. Use maxResults to bound job events; platform usage is additional. Open the live Pricing tab for current event details.

Best results

• Start with a narrow role, skill, or location filter for more focused records.
• Use a copied public search URL when you need HiringCafe's exact filter combination.
• Keep maxResults and maxPages aligned with the dataset size your workflow can review.
• Use scheduled runs with the same input when you need recurring market snapshots.

Builder's note

I designed the Actor around HiringCafe's server-rendered search data. I validate and write each normalized listing as it is found, which keeps output durable as collection continues and makes coverage explicit in RUN_SUMMARY.

Responsible use

Use public or otherwise authorized data responsibly and comply with applicable laws and source-site terms.
