TheLadders Scraper

TheLadders (theladders.com) is a job marketplace focused on professional roles. This actor collects structured job detail data from TheLadders search and listing pages.

Introduction

The TheLadders scraper starts from search, listing, or job URLs, goes through result pages, and extracts structured job detail data such as title, company, location, salary fields, employment type, job description, qualifications, responsibilities, benefits, and more.

Use Cases

• Job market research: Track openings, salary ranges, and hiring patterns for selected keywords.
• Recruitment intelligence: Monitor companies, roles, and demand across target locations.
• Lead generation: Build structured job datasets for outreach, enrichment, or sales workflows.
• Analytics pipelines: Feed dashboards, warehousing, and labor market analysis systems.

Input

Provide the following fields:

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

Notes:

• If a startUrl is a search or listing URL, the actor paginates result pages and collects job detail pages.
• If a startUrl is a job detail URL, the actor extracts that job page directly.
• Pagination increments the page query parameter automatically: page=1, page=2, page=3, and so on.
• Crawling stops per source URL when maxItems is reached.
• Proxies are recommended for larger runs and better reliability.

Input Examples

1) Start URLs

{
  "startUrls": [
    {
      "url": "https://www.theladders.com/jobs/searchresults-jobs?keywords=design"
    },
    {
      "url": "https://www.theladders.com/job/designer-interactive-apple-san-francisco-ca_86484693"
    }
  ],
  "maxItems": 10,
  "proxyConfiguration": {
    "useApifyProxy": true
  }
}

Output

Each dataset item contains fields like:

{
  "url": "https://www.theladders.com/job/designer-interactive-apple-san-francisco-ca_86484693",
  "originalUrl": "https://www.theladders.com/jobs/searchresults-jobs?keywords=design",
