BestJobs Scraper — Romanian job listings by keyword and town

Extract job postings from BestJobs.eu (Romania) by keyword and location: title, employer, place, remote flag, salary range, URL.

Three rows from a real run

Title	Employer	Location	Salary
Junior Immobilienbuchhalter (m/w/d) – Remote	Linstad		1600–2100 EUR per month
Record to Report Specialist with Dutch-Remote	GENPACT		1700–1800 EUR per month
Contabil junior	Omnia Europe	PUNCT DE LUCRU LOC. MEDGIDIA, JUD. CONSTANTA	760–860 EUR per month

A run with maxItems: 200 and searchTerms: ["contabil"] on 2026-10-14 returned 200 postings in 28 seconds and would cost about $0.30 at the current price. Full fields for every row are shown below.

BestJobs is one of Romania's main job boards, with tens of thousands of live postings: over 40,000 in București alone, and thousands each in Cluj-Napoca, Timișoara, Iași and Brașov. This Actor turns its search results into a clean table: the job title, the employer, the workplace, whether it is remote, the salary the employer states, and the link to the posting.

Press Start. The defaults search for contabil (accountant) across Romania, so the first run needs no configuration.

What a row looks like

{
  "title": "Contabil",
  "company": "SSANGRO CARS",
  "location": "Șoseaua Pipera 48, Sector 2, București, România; Bulevardul Iuliu Maniu 181b, București, România",
  "remote": null,
  "salary_min": 1005,
  "salary_max": 1005,
  "salary_currency": "EUR",
  "salary_period": "month",
  "apply_url": "",
  "source_url": "https://www.bestjobs.eu/loc-de-munca/contabil-4908",
  "external_id": "52070149"
}

company is the employer as the list shows it. When the employer hides its name ("Confidențial"), company is empty. Business names only: where the site marks the advertiser as a private person, or the name on the card is or contains a person's name (a sole trader's trade name), the field is left empty. Contact persons, email addresses and phone numbers are never collected. This Actor reads the search results only and never opens the job text.

location lists every workplace the posting names, joined with "; ". Often that is a town, sometimes the employer's office address. remote is true when the posting lists "Remote" as a place, and empty otherwise: a posting without it is not necessarily on-site.

salary_* is the pay the employer states, in euros a month, as BestJobs shows it. Where the employer states nothing, the columns are empty. BestJobs' own salary estimate is not reported as a salary. apply_url is filled when the employer takes applications on its own careers page.

Every row also carries source_site and scraped_at.

Field	What it holds	How often it is filled
title	Job title	Always
company	Employer	Nearly all (95 of 100)
location	Location	Nearly all (98 of 100)
remote	Remote	Few (2 of 100)
salary_min, salary_max, salary_currency, salary_period	Salary from; Salary to; Salary currency; Salary period	About 5 in 10 (46 of 100)
apply_url	Employer's apply link	Few (11 of 100)
source_url, external_id	Posting URL; Posting ID	Always
application_deadline, company_url, company_rating, workplace_postal_code, workplace_address, latitude, longitude	Catalogue-wide columns; BestJobs' list does not show them	Always empty here

Fill rates are from a 100-row run on 28 September 2026.

No posting dates

BestJobs does not publish when a posting went online, either in the search results or on the job page. So posted_at is always empty, and this Actor has no "posted after" filter. It refuses one rather than pretending to apply it. To follow what is new, run on a schedule and compare external_id with the previous run's.

What people use it for

• Tracking which companies in a Romanian city are hiring, week by week.
• Salary benchmarking from the ranges employers state.
• Feeding a job board or a newsletter with Romanian openings in a niche.
• Research on the Romanian labour market that needs structured rows rather than a page of links.

Input

Field	What it does
searchTerms	Keywords, e.g. contabil, sofer, customer support. Each keyword is its own search. Leave empty for everything.
location	A Romanian town, with or without diacritics: București, Cluj-Napoca, Iasi. Leave empty for the whole country.
maxItems	A hard stop, so your bill is predictable.
proxyConfiguration	Off by default. Most runs do not need a proxy.

How much one run returns

BestJobs serves 24 postings per page, in its own relevance order, and the run follows the site's "load more" cursor page by page until the list ends or maxItems is reached. The site publishes no total for a search, so the run report shows the rows delivered but not "of how many". If you search several keywords, a posting that matches more than one is delivered only once per run.

Pricing

$1.50 per 1,000 postings, falling to $0.75 per 1,000 on higher Apify plans, plus $0.005 each time a run starts. Platform usage is not passed on to you.

You are charged only for rows you actually receive. If you set a maximum charge for the run, it stops cleanly at that limit instead of going over it.

Daily new listings

This Actor has no date filter. BestJobs' list shows no posting date, so there is no date to filter on. To receive only what is new on a daily schedule, run the same search each day and keep the rows whose external_id was not in the previous run.

How this compares

Other BestJobs Actors are on the Store. Checked on 2 October 2026 against the two most used, from their own Store descriptions and input forms:

• Results page only. Both can open each posting for its details. This Actor never opens a posting: it reads the search results only.
• No personal data. Neither advertises contact persons. This Actor collects no contact person, e-mail address or phone number; company is the employer's name only.
• One price per row. Both also charge per row. Here every row costs the same, and you pay only for rows you receive.
• Daily new postings. One of them has an incremental mode that tracks new and changed jobs across scheduled runs. This Actor has no date filter (see above).

Scope and limits

The Actor reads public listings only, from the search results pages. BestJobs' robots.txt allows these for all crawlers. No API is called, and job pages are not opened.

A town that BestJobs does not recognise ends the run with no rows and a clear warning. On the site, an unknown town is silently dropped and you get postings from the whole country, and this Actor will not charge you for those.

Every page is checked against what you asked for: keyword, town and page cursor. If the site answered something else, the run fails rather than return rows you did not ask for and charge you for them.

If BestJobs changes its page structure, the run goes red. It does not return zero rows and report success. A silent scraper is worse than a broken one, because you only find out weeks later.

A run that is blocked or cut short partway also goes red, even though the rows it did collect are in the dataset and yours to keep. Red here means "this is not the complete answer", not "you lost the data". On a schedule, a run that quietly came back short is the thing you most need to hear about.

Same shape, other sites

This Actor shares its output shape with:

• the Jobware Scraper (Germany)
• the jobs.ch, jobup.ch and JobScout24 Scrapers (Switzerland)
• the Jobindex Scraper (Denmark)
• the Jobs.cz Scraper (Czech Republic)

A parser you write for one keeps working on the others, and on the countries added next.

Legal notice

BestJobs' terms and conditions (bestjobs.eu/legal/terms, read on 14 October 2026) list unauthorised data collection (scraping) among the activities strictly prohibited on the platform (article 3) and allow automated collection only through BestJobs' official integrations (API / webhooks). Article 4 states that the platform's elements, its databases included, belong to BestJobs and may not be reproduced or distributed without its agreement. Read those terms before you run this Actor, and make sure that what you do with the rows is allowed by them; that check is yours.

This Actor reads public search-result pages of bestjobs.eu only, on paths its robots.txt allows, at a modest pace. It never opens a posting's own page and collects no contact person, e-mail address or phone number; an employer name that is or contains a person's name is left empty. You decide what you do with the rows; data-protection and database law where you use them is yours to follow.
