📖 How to use the Totaljobs Scraper?

1. Create a free Apify account
2. Open Totaljobs Scraper
3. Add either a position with or without a location or start url from a search on Totaljobs
4. Click Start and wait for the results
5. Download the results in JSON, XML or CSV format or connect the actor to your backend via API

📥 Input

To run the actor, simply provide either a position or one or more search URLs:

• Position – job title or keyword to search for (e.g. java)

• Location (optional) – location to narrow the search (e.g. london)

• Start URLs – one or more Totaljobs search or job URLs (e.g. https://www.totaljobs.com/jobs/java). Used instead of (or in addition to) the position field.

• Max items per start URL – maximum number of jobs to extract per start URL. The actor stops once the limit is reached for that URL.

• Proxy configuration – Totaljobs uses anti-bot protection, so residential proxies (UK) are recommended.

Example input:

{
  "position": "java",
  "location": "london",
  "maxItems": 5,
  "proxyConfiguration": {
    "useApifyProxy": true,
    "apifyProxyGroups": ["RESIDENTIAL"],
    "apifyProxyCountry": "GB"
  }
}
