MyCareersFuture Jobs Scraper

Extract public Singapore job listings from MyCareersFuture into structured JSON for recruiting shortlists, salary research, employer hiring intel, and MCP/API agents. Search by keyword, filter by employer ACRA UEN or taxonomy, or paste a job UUID. Each row includes title, SGD salary band, posted company name and UEN, skills, location, and a canonical job link — HTTP-only against the public v2 API, with no Singpass and no login.

Run it on Apify for scheduling, API access, Residential proxy fallback, and Pay per event billing with a clear maxItems cost cap.

Best fit

Choose this Actor when you need public MyCareersFuture postings with SGD salary bands and ACRA UEN on the employer. It works well for Singapore software, healthcare, finance, and government-board monitoring workflows where FCF-style salary disclosure and company identity matter.

For multi-market Indeed jobs, continue with Indeed Job Scraper when the next step is Indeed search cards. For Google Jobs cards across countries, then use Google Jobs Scraper for SERP-style job discovery. For LinkedIn job cards with salary and skills context, continue with LinkedIn Jobs Scraper when the source board is LinkedIn. For India tech hubs, continue with Naukri Jobs Scraper when the workflow moves to Naukri.com.

Workflow story

A Singapore talent-intel analyst sets search to software engineer, maxItems to 10, and keeps sortBy on new_posting_date. The Actor pages the public MyCareersFuture jobs API, writes one validated row per UUID with salaryMin/salaryMax, postedCompanyUen, skills, and jobUrl, then the analyst filters UENs into a watchlist and exports CSV into their compensation sheet.

How it works

1. Collects keyword, UEN, UUID/URL, or taxonomy/salary filter inputs
2. Calls the public MyCareersFuture v2/jobs search and optional v2/jobs/{uuid} detail endpoints over HTTPS
3. Normalizes rows (HTML→text, public fields only), charges job-scraped, then pushData
4. Writes OUTPUT and RUN_SUMMARY with an honest outcome (COMPLETE, PARTIAL, VALID_EMPTY, INVALID_INPUT, or UPSTREAM_FAILED)

Input example

{
  "search": "software engineer",
  "maxItems": 5,
  "sortBy": "new_posting_date"
}

Employer UEN mode:

{
  "companyUens": ["201816453D"],
  "maxItems": 20
}

Field	What it controls
search / searchQueries	Keyword search against titles, skills, and descriptions
companyUens	ACRA UEN list — jobs where posted company UEN matches
jobIds / startUrls	Exact 32-character job UUIDs or UUID job URLs (prefer UUID page links)
categories / employmentTypes / positionLevels	Exact MyCareersFuture enum labels
salaryFrom / salaryTo	Monthly SGD salary filter bounds
sortBy	new_posting_date (default) or min_monthly_salary
maxItems	Hard unique-job cap (default 50; prefill 5)
fetchDetails / includeScreeningQuestions	Optional detail re-fetch / screening questions

Output fields

Field	Description
title + jobUrl	Public job title and MyCareersFuture page
salaryMin / salaryMax / salaryType	Advertised SGD salary band when published
postedCompanyName + postedCompanyUen	Posting employer and ACRA UEN
categories / employmentTypes / positionLevels	Taxonomy labels
skills	Skill labels (key-skill flags when present)
postedDate / expiryDate	Posting and expiry dates
source / scrapedAt	Provenance (mycareersfuture-v2) and scrape time

Pricing

Startup billing and empty runs

The apify-actor-start event costs $0.00005 per startup unit. Apify charges one startup unit per GB of allocated memory, with a minimum of one unit, so a 2 GB run incurs two units. This startup charge still applies when input is invalid, no results are found, or an upstream request fails. Statements about free, unbilled, or skipped results refer only to the corresponding result event; they do not waive the startup charge. Apify platform usage is included in the event prices and is not passed through as an additional customer charge. Check the live Pricing tab for current events, tiers, and rates. Result limits cap result events, not the entire run cost.

This Actor uses Pay per event with platform usage included. The live Pricing tab is the source of truth.

• apify-actor-start: $0.00005 per run
• job-scraped: $0.003 per unique persisted job row

A five-job sample is about $0.015 in result events with Apify platform usage included. Duplicate UUIDs and rows past maxItems are billed once per unique saved job.

API example

curl "https://api.apify.com/v2/acts/khadinakbar~mycareersfuture-jobs-scraper/runs?token=YOUR_TOKEN" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{"search":"software engineer","maxItems":5,"sortBy":"new_posting_date"}'

Best results

• Prefer maxItems ≤ 20 while testing filters so you can validate enums before a larger harvest.
• Category / employment / position values work best when they match MyCareersFuture labels exactly (for example Information Technology, Full Time); mismatched enums finish as INVALID_INPUT.
• Copy the UUID from the job page URL (/job/<32-hex>). Prefer UUID detail links for the public API detail path.
• Leave fetchDetails off for lean search harvests; enable it when you want the freshest detail payload or screening questions.
• Empty but valid searches finish successfully with VALID_EMPTY and zero job-scraped charges.
• Hitting maxItems finishes as PARTIAL by design — raise the cap when you need a larger sample.

Builder's note

I built this around the public MyCareersFuture v2/jobs JSON surface because I found that salary bands and ACRA UEN already arrive without a browser. I learned that enum-exact filters, UUID-only detail URLs, and honest PARTIAL when maxItems stops pagination matter more for callers than fighting Cloudflare. My goal was one validated public job row per UUID with PDPA-safe fields only.
