Goodmoves.org Scraper

Turn Goodmoves.org into structured Scottish charity-sector job data. Scrape every vacancy from any Goodmoves listing URL — title, salary band, workplace type, employer, posted/closing dates with time, full description, location with real lat/long coordinates, OSCR charity number, apply email + apply URL — straight out of the page. JSON or CSV out, no compute charge per run, just per result.

How it works

✨ Why use this scraper?

Tracking Scottish third-sector hiring? Building salary benchmarks across SCVO-listed charities? Need a clean dataset of charity vacancies without scrolling Goodmoves manually?

• 🎯 Two starting points. Paste a Goodmoves listing URL (/jobs-in/{location}, /search?..., /browse/...) or a direct vacancy URL — both classified automatically.
• 📋 JSON-LD–backed accuracy. Title, salary, location, dates, employment type, full description, and the org's address all come from the page's application/ld+json block — same data Google reads.
• 📍 Real coordinates, not just postcodes. Each row carries coordinates.latitude + coordinates.longitude parsed directly from the embedded map marker.
• 🏛 OSCR charity numbers. Each row includes the Scottish Charity Register number (e.g. SC039119) — perfect for joining to OSCR's open dataset.
• 📧 Apply email + apply URL captured. The "Application notes" section yields the recruiter's mailto and any outbound application page — no resolver step needed.
• 🧰 No anti-bot, no auth, no pagination. A Goodmoves listing returns every match in one HTTP call. Listings + 80 vacancy pages typically scrape in well under a minute.
• 📤 Clean exports. One row per vacancy with org enrichment merged in. No duplicate rows. JSON + CSV exported automatically.

🎯 Use cases

Team	What they build
Scottish recruitment / agencies	Daily new-vacancy feeds for the SCVO/Goodmoves audience, sliced by region or sector
Charity-sector analysts	Hiring-trend dashboards for Scotland's third sector
Compensation & benefits	Salary benchmarks for charity roles by region, contract type, and employer size
Talent acquisition (in-house)	Competitive intelligence on what other Scottish charities are paying
Researchers / journalists	Datasets on workforce shifts in the Scottish voluntary sector
OSCR data joiners	Vacancy data joined to the Scottish Charity Register via oscrCharityNumber

📥 Supported inputs

You can pass two kinds of URL in startUrls. Each URL is classified automatically.

URL pattern	Behaviour
https://goodmoves.org/jobs-in/{location}	Listing — extracts every vacancy link in one HTTP call (no pagination)
https://goodmoves.org/search?keywords=...&location=...	Listing (search results)
https://goodmoves.org/browse/...	Listing (any browse facet)
https://goodmoves.org/vacancy/{salesforce-id}/{slug}	Vacancy detail — routed straight to the parser

Easiest workflow: apply your filters on goodmoves.org in the browser (location, sector, contract type, salary, workplace), copy the URL out of the address bar, paste into startUrls.

Not supported:

• Organisation profile URLs as a starting point (they're fetched automatically as enrichment when org enrichment is on)
• Hosts outside goodmoves.org / www.goodmoves.org

🔄 How it works

1. Classify each startUrl as a listing URL or a single vacancy URL.
2. Fetch each listing — Goodmoves returns every match on one page, so no pagination loop.
3. Fetch each vacancy detail page in parallel via a global sliding window.
4. Parse the JSON-LD JobPosting block for the bulk of structured data, and the page's "Application notes" section for the apply email + apply URL.
5. Optionally enrich each unique organisation by fetching /organisation/{id}/{slug} once for the company website, domain, and OSCR charity number. Cached per slug — every job for that org reuses the same fetch.
6. Push one merged row per vacancy to the dataset and export data.csv + data.json at the end.

⚙️ Input parameters

Parameter	Type	Default	Description
startUrls	array	["https://goodmoves.org/jobs-in/glasgow"]	Goodmoves listing URLs and/or vacancy URLs. Mix both freely.
enrichOrganisation	boolean	true	Fetch each unique organisation profile once for companyWebsite, companyDomain, and oscrCharityNumber. The vacancy JSON-LD already contains the company description, so disable this if you want maximum speed and don't need website/domain/OSCR.
maxItems	integer	1000	Hard cap on jobs collected. Goodmoves listings often return 80+ vacancies in one page; this cap limits billing.
maxConcurrency / minConcurrency	integer	10 / 1	Parallel HTTP request limits.
maxRequestRetries	integer	5	Retries before a request is given up.
proxy	object	Apify residential	Apify proxy configuration. Goodmoves has no anti-bot, so a small pool (or no proxy) usually works.

📊 Output overview

Each scraped vacancy is one single dataset row of type: "job". When enrichOrganisation is true, the organisation's website, domain and OSCR charity number are merged into the same row — no separate organisation rows, so the dataset row count equals the job count exactly.

📦 Output sample

One merged row per vacancy (trimmed to the most useful fields):

❓ FAQ

Which Goodmoves URLs are supported? Listing URLs (/jobs-in/..., /search?..., /browse/...) and direct vacancy URLs (/vacancy/{id}/{slug}). Organisation pages used as starting points and any host outside goodmoves.org are skipped.

Why are most jobs applyType: "email" or "external" and never "internal"? Goodmoves doesn't host applications itself — every vacancy directs candidates either to the recruiter's email (most common in the Scottish charity sector) or to the recruiter's own careers page. The actor captures both.

What's oscrCharityNumber and where does it come from? It's the official Scottish Charity Register identifier (e.g. SC012838). Goodmoves links each org's profile to OSCR's register, and we extract the number from that link. You can join it to OSCR's open dataset for accreditation, financials, and trustees.

Do I need to paginate? No. Goodmoves returns every matching vacancy on a single listing page, so the actor makes one HTTP call per listing URL plus one per vacancy detail.

Can I scrape private pages or applicant data? No. The scraper accesses only publicly available pages — no logged-in content, no recruiter-only views, no candidate data.

How do I limit results? Set maxItems. The actor stops queuing new vacancies as soon as the cap is reached.
