📥 Input

You can run the actor in two ways:

1. Start URLs (recommended)

• Start URLs (startUrls): JobsDB search/category pages (e.g. https://hk.jobsdb.com/Software-Engineer-jobs) or individual job pages (e.g. https://hk.jobsdb.com/job/92578359). Only hk.jobsdb.com and th.jobsdb.com are supported. Encode any filters (keyword, location, salary, date range, work type) directly in the search URL.

{
  "startUrls": [
    { "url": "https://hk.jobsdb.com/Software-Engineer-jobs" },
    { "url": "https://th.jobsdb.com/Software-Engineer-jobs" }
  ],
  "maxItems": 5,
  "proxyConfiguration": { "useApifyProxy": false }
}

2. Search filters (used only when no Start URLs are provided)

Provide a keyword and/or location and the scraper builds the JobsDB search for you:

• Country (country): hk.jobsdb.com or th.jobsdb.com.
• Keyword (keyword), Location (location), Job Type (jobType), Date Range (daterange, in days), Minimum/Maximum Salary (minsalaryrange / maxsalaryrange), Salary Type (salarytype).

{
  "country": "hk.jobsdb.com",
  "keyword": "Software Engineer",
  "location": "Hong Kong",
  "jobType": "full-time",
  "maxItems": 5,
  "proxyConfiguration": { "useApifyProxy": false }
}

Common options

• Maximum number of items (maxItems): The maximum number of jobs scraped per start URL.
• Proxy configuration (proxyConfiguration): Optional. The scraper runs without a proxy by default.

FAQ

Is scraping JobsDB legal? The JobsDB Scraper Actor only retrieves public data that is openly available on JobsDB. We recommend reviewing JobsDB’s Terms of Service before running the actor.

Why are Singapore jobs not supported? JobsDB no longer operates a Singapore site — sg.jobsdb.com now redirects to a different brand. The actor therefore supports Hong Kong and Thailand only.

Who should use this actor? This tool is ideal for developers, data analysts, and recruitment professionals who need up-to-date job data from Hong Kong and Thailand.
