Lagou Tech Jobs Scraper (拉勾网) — Scrape China Tech Jobs, Salaries & Company Data

Scrape Lagou.com (拉勾网), China's #1 technology-focused job board, and export thousands of tech job listings to JSON, CSV or Excel. This Lagou.com scraper extracts salaries, required skills/tech stacks, company funding stages and more from top Chinese tech employers — including ByteDance (字节跳动), Alibaba (阿里巴巴), Tencent (腾讯), Baidu (百度), Meituan (美团), JD.com (京东), Xiaomi (小米), Huawei (华为) and thousands more.

✨ What this Actor does / Key features

• 🚀 Fast & cheap — direct HTTP extraction, no browser needed, runs on minimal memory.
• 📈 Massive scale — collects thousands of unique jobs per run via keyword × city × experience-filter combo expansion.
• 🧹 Smart deduplication — built-in position ID tracking ensures zero duplicate records across all search combinations.
• ⚙️ Parallel processing — configurable concurrency (up to 10 workers) for maximum throughput.
• 🔍 Experience filter expansion — automatically multiplies each search by 6 experience levels to surface jobs hidden behind filters.

❓ Frequently Asked Questions

Do I need an API key or login? No. The Actor accesses only publicly available job listing data displayed on Lagou.com — no login, authentication or private data is involved.

Is scraping Lagou.com legal? The Actor collects only publicly visible job listing data. Please review Lagou's terms of service and your local regulations regarding web scraping, and use the data responsibly.

Why does each keyword + city combination return only ~45 jobs? Lagou limits search results to 3 pages (about 45 jobs) per query. The scraper compensates with experience-filter expansion, which creates 6 separate searches per keyword + city — each returning a different job set. This is why expandFilters: true is recommended.

Can I use Chinese keywords? Yes. Both English (Python) and Chinese (Python开发工程师, 前端工程师, 算法) keywords work, and Chinese keywords often surface different results.

Do I need residential proxies? Yes, strongly recommended. Lagou is a Chinese platform and may block datacenter IP ranges, so Apify's residential proxy group provides reliable access.

How much data can I get and how fast? With broad keyword and city coverage you can collect tens of thousands of unique jobs per run. A 5-keyword × 5-city run typically yields 2,000–3,500 unique jobs; larger configurations scale into the tens of thousands.

What output formats are supported, and can I schedule it? Results are stored as structured JSON and export to JSON, CSV or Excel, with API, webhook, Google Sheets and cloud-storage integrations. You can schedule the Actor on Apify — weekly runs work well for ongoing market monitoring.

⏰ Scheduling & integration

Schedule this Actor on Apify to monitor China's tech job market automatically. Export results to JSON, CSV or Excel, push them to Google Sheets, or use the Apify API, webhooks and Zapier/Make integrations to feed Lagou job and salary data into your dashboards, ATS and analytics pipelines.
