BrightNetwork.co.uk Scraper

Welcome to the BrightNetwork.co.uk Scraper! This actor extracts job listings and details from Bright Network, a leading UK career portal for students and graduates. Use it to collect postings with titles, company info, locations, and structured job metadata.

Introduction

The BrightNetwork.co.uk scraper crawls search results and job detail pages on Bright Network. Provide search URLs or build a query with filters and the actor will paginate through results, capturing structured job data and employer details.

Use Cases

• Job Market Research: Track graduate and early-career opportunities across the UK.
• Recruitment Enrichment: Feed ATS/CRMs with structured postings.
• Competitor Monitoring: Monitor employer hiring activity by sector or location.
• Data Aggregation: Build dashboards for geography, posting dates, or employer activity.

Input

Provide the following fields:

• startUrls (array, optional): Bright Network search or job URLs to start from. Example: { "url": "https://www.brightnetwork.co.uk/search/?s=software&content_types=jobs" }
• query (string, optional): Keyword search that builds a Bright Network search URL (used when startUrls is empty).
• contentType (string, optional): One of Bright Network content types (e.g., jobs, events, employers).
• sectors (array, optional): Sector filters (must match Bright Network sectors, e.g., Software Development).
• employers (array, optional): Employer filters (must match Bright Network employer names, e.g., Amazon).
• location (array, optional): Location filters (e.g., london, manchester).
• jobTypes (array, optional): Job type filters (e.g., Graduate job, Internship, Work Experience).
• requiredLanguages (array, optional): Language filters (e.g., french, german).
• maxItems (integer, required): Maximum number of items to extract.
• proxyConfiguration (object, optional): Apify proxy configuration. Example: { "useApifyProxy": false }

Notes:

• Provide either startUrls or query to start the crawl.
• Use Bright Network search/listing URLs. Off-domain links are skipped.
• The crawler stops when maxItems is reached or no more results are available.
• Start URLs must be on brightnetwork.co.uk; unsupported paths are ignored.

Using startUrls (list and detail)

{

    },
    {
      "url": "https://www.brightnetwork.co.uk/graduate-jobs/amazon/graduate-software-engineer-london/"
    }
  ],
  "maxItems": 25,
  "proxyConfiguration": {

  "jobTypes": ["Graduate job"],
  "requiredLanguages": ["french"],
  "maxItems": 25,
  "proxyConfiguration": {
    "useApifyProxy": false

Output

Each dataset item contains fields like:

{
  "url": "https://www.brightnetwork.co.uk/graduate-jobs/amazon/graduate-software-engineer-london/",
  "title": "Graduate Software Engineer",
  "deadline": "2025-12-20",
  "jobType": "Graduate job",

  "companyDescription": "Global technology company focused on e-commerce and cloud computing.",
  "description": "As a Graduate Software Engineer you will build high-scale services ..."
