Lawjobs Scraper

Lawjobs (lawjobs.com) is a legal jobs board. This actor collects structured job listing data from Lawjobs search and job detail pages.

Introduction

The Lawjobs Scraper starts from Lawjobs search or job detail URLs, paginates through available search results, opens each job detail page, and extracts structured job data such as title, company, location, salary, experience, education, position type, posting date, and job description.

Use Cases

• Legal job market research: Track law firm hiring, salaries, locations, and position types.
• Recruitment intelligence: Monitor new legal openings and sponsored listings.
• Lead generation: Build structured datasets for staffing, sales, and outreach workflows.
• Analytics pipelines: Feed BI tools, dashboards, and internal data warehouses.

Input

Provide the following fields:

• startUrls (array, required): Lawjobs search or job detail URLs.
• maxItems (integer, optional): Maximum number of job items to extract per search URL.
• proxyConfiguration (object, optional): Apify proxy settings.

Notes:

• Search URLs under /jobs are treated as list URLs even when they include job_id.
• Detail URLs can look like https://lawjobs.com/job/general-liability-defense-attorney-atlanta-georgia-192060.
• Detail URLs are recognized by the /job/ path and numeric job ID suffix.
• Crawling stops per source URL when maxItems is reached or when no more results are returned.
• Proxies are recommended for larger runs and better stability.

Input Example

{
  "startUrls": [
    {
      "url": "https://lawjobs.com/jobs?country=&state=&city=&zip=&latitude=&longitude=&keywords=manager&city_state_zip=&locale=en&page=1&sort=relevance"
    },
    {

    }
  ],
  "maxItems": 10,
  "proxyConfiguration": {
    "useApifyProxy": true
  }
}

Output

Each dataset item contains fields like:

{
  "url": "https://lawjobs.com/job/general-liability-defense-attorney-atlanta-georgia-192060",
  "detailUrl": "https://lawjobs.com/job/general-liability-defense-attorney-atlanta-georgia-192060",
  "jobId": 192060,
  "title": "General Liability Defense Attorney",
  "companyName": "Drew Eckl & Farnham",
  "location": "Atlanta, Georgia (Hybrid)",

    "longitude": "-84.3847253"
  },
  "descriptionText": "Clean text version of the job description.",
  "descriptionHtml": "<p>HTML version of the job description.</p>"
}

The scraper paginates through search results and stops when maxItems is reached per start URL or when no more result items are found.

Why use the Lawjobs Scraper?

• Focused: Built specifically for Lawjobs search and detail flows.
• Structured output: Ready-to-use JSON records for automation and analysis.

FAQ

• How many jobs can it extract?
  Controlled by maxItems per source URL. If Lawjobs returns fewer jobs than maxItems, the actor stops when all available jobs are collected.

• Do I need proxies?
  Proxies are recommended for larger runs and stability.

• Can I start from a job detail URL?
  Yes. The actor supports Lawjobs detail URLs under /job/.

• What if a /jobs URL includes job_id?
  It is treated as a list URL because /jobs represents the search page.
