## What's an Apify Actor?

Actors are web data automations that power AI and operations. They run on the Apify platform to scrape websites, process data, connect APIs, and automate workflows.
In Batch mode, an Actor accepts a well-defined JSON input, performs an action which can take anything from a few seconds to a few hours,
and optionally produces a well-defined JSON output, datasets with results, or files in key-value store.
In Standby mode, an Actor provides a web server which can be used as a website, API, or an MCP server.
Actors are written with capital "A".

## How to integrate an Actor?

If asked about integration, you help developers integrate Actors into their projects.
You adapt to their stack and deliver integrations that are safe, well-documented, and production-ready.
The best way to integrate Actors is as follows.

- **AI agents and MCP clients** — the [Apify MCP server](https://docs.apify.com/integrations/mcp.md) at `https://mcp.apify.com` (remote, streamable HTTP, OAuth on first use).
- **Agentic workflows and local Actor development** — [Agent Skills](https://apify.com/.well-known/agent-skills/index.json) with the [Apify CLI](https://docs.apify.com/cli/docs.md): `npm install -g apify-cli`, then `apify login`.
- **JavaScript/TypeScript projects** — the official [JS/TS client](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/js/docs.md): `npm install apify-client`.
- **Python projects** — the official [Python client](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/python/docs.md): `pip install apify-client`.
- **Any other language** — the [REST API](https://docs.apify.com/api/v2.md).

For usage examples, see the [API](#api) section below.

# README

### What does WorkAbroad.ph Job Scraper do?

**WorkAbroad.ph Job Scraper** extracts overseas job listings from [WorkAbroad.ph](https://www.workabroad.ph/), a leading job board for Filipino workers seeking employment abroad. Give it one or more job search or category listing URLs and it returns structured data for every posting — job title, hiring company, location, salary range, minimum experience, posted date, and full job description and qualifications.

Because it runs on the Apify platform, you get automatic scheduling, webhooks, and integrations with tools like Zapier, Make, and Google Sheets — no infrastructure to maintain.

### Why use WorkAbroad.ph Job Scraper?

- **Job market research** — track which overseas roles, countries, and industries are in demand.
- **Recruitment agency monitoring** — keep tabs on which agencies are posting jobs and what they're offering.
- **Salary benchmarking** — compare pay ranges across roles, employers, and destination countries.
- **Content and lead generation** — feed fresh, structured job listings into your own site, newsletter, or CRM.

### How to use WorkAbroad.ph Job Scraper

1. Click **Try for free** to open the Actor in Apify Console.
2. Add one or more WorkAbroad.ph search or category URLs under **Start URLs** (e.g. `https://www.workabroad.ph/search-jobs/b/landbased`).
3. Set **Max jobs per start URL** to control how many listings to scrape from each URL.
4. Click **Start** and wait for the run to finish.
5. Download your results from the **Dataset** tab, or connect them to your workflow via webhook or integration.

### Input

The Actor accepts the following input fields (see the **Input** tab for the full schema):

| Field | Type | Description |
|---|---|---|
| `startUrls` | array | WorkAbroad.ph job search or category listing pages to scrape. |
| `maxItems` | integer | Maximum number of job listings to scrape per start URL. `0` means unlimited. |
| `proxyConfiguration` | object | Proxy settings. Uses Apify Proxy by default. |

#### How to build a Start URL

Copy the URL straight from your browser after searching or filtering on WorkAbroad.ph — any listing page works, including keyword searches, category pages, or a specific results page:

- All land-based jobs: `https://www.workabroad.ph/search-jobs/b/landbased`
- Jobs matching a keyword (e.g. "nurse"): `https://www.workabroad.ph/search-jobs/k/nurse/t/any/b/landbased`
- A specific results page: add `/2`, `/3`, etc. to the end of a search URL

Add as many start URLs as you like — the Actor scrapes each one independently, and **Max jobs per start URL** is applied separately to each one.

Example input:

```json
{
    "startUrls": [{ "url": "https://www.workabroad.ph/search-jobs/b/landbased" }],
    "maxItems": 5,
    "proxyConfiguration": { "useApifyProxy": true }
}
```

### Output

Each scraped job listing is stored as a single item in the dataset. You can download the dataset in various formats such as JSON, HTML, CSV, or Excel.

Example output:

```json
{
    "title": "HAIRDRESSER",
    "company": "PACIFIC BUSINESS VENTURES, INC.",
    "location": "Dammam, Eastern Province, Saudi Arabia",
    "salary": "SAR 2,800.00 - 3,800.00 per month",
    "currency": "SAR",
    "experience": "Min. Experience: 2 year(s)",
    "postedDate": "2026-07-22",
    "description": ["Minimum TWO (2) Years Contract.", "Duties and functions of an EXPERT and QUALIFIED HAIRSTYLIST."],
    "qualifications": ["A minimum of 2 year(s) of working experience is required.", "Candidates must be at least a high school graduate."],
    "employerInfo": "Principal / Employer ESTABLISHMENT MORVA ...",
    "url": "https://www.workabroad.ph/job/3377436"
}
```

#### Data table

| Field | Description |
|---|---|
| `title` | Job title |

### How much does it cost to scrape WorkAbroad.ph data?

This Actor runs on Apify's pay-per-usage pricing based on compute time. Since it uses lightweight HTTP requests (no browser), a run scraping a few dozen listings typically finishes in under a minute and costs a fraction of a compute unit. Apify's free tier includes monthly platform credits, so light usage can often run at no extra cost. Use **Max jobs per start URL** to control run size and cost.

### Tips and advanced options

- Use narrower WorkAbroad.ph search or category URLs to scrape more targeted results and reduce run time.
- Lower **Max jobs per start URL** for quick daily monitoring runs; raise it (or set it to `0`) for bulk exports.
- Schedule the Actor on Apify to run daily or weekly and track new listings over time.

### FAQ and disclaimers

This Actor only extracts publicly available job listing data from WorkAbroad.ph. Use it in accordance with WorkAbroad.ph's Terms of Service and applicable laws in your jurisdiction. Website structure changes may occasionally affect scraping — if you notice missing or incorrect data, please report it via the **Issues** tab.
