s1jobs.com scraper

Turn s1jobs.com into structured Scottish vacancy data — across every sector. Scrape every job from any s1jobs listing URL — title, salary band, employer (with logo, accreditations, URN), location with real lat/long coordinates, posted/closing dates, full description, structured skills, contract type, and the actual recruiter apply URL or apply email — pulled straight from s1jobs' public JSON API. JSON or CSV out, no compute charge per run, just per result.

How it works

✨ Why use this scraper?

Tracking the Scottish job market across every sector — engineering, healthcare, hospitality, public sector? Building salary benchmarks across regions? Need a clean dataset of Scottish vacancies without scrolling s1jobs manually?

• 🎯 Two starting points. Paste an s1jobs listing URL (/jobs/{location}/, /jobs/{sector}/{location}/) or a direct vacancy URL — both classified automatically.
• ⚡ Public JSON API as the data source. Each vacancy comes from /api/job/{id} — far richer than HTML scraping (structured skills, accreditations, sponsorship flags, apply method, employer URN, premier vs standard advert type).
• 📍 Real coordinates, not just postcodes. Optional one-fetch-per-vacancy pull of lat/lng from the page's JSON-LD geo block.
• 📧 Apply URL or email captured. No JS evaluation, no click-through resolver — /api/job/{id} returns the recruiter destination directly (Aplitrak, PeopleHR, Workday, JobTrain, employer's own ATS, etc.) or the recruiter's email.
• 🇬🇧 All sectors, all regions of Scotland. s1jobs is the largest Scottish-only job board — engineering, healthcare, charity, hospitality, public sector, retail.
• 📤 Clean exports. One row per vacancy with company enrichment merged in. JSON + CSV exported automatically.

🎯 Use cases

Team	What they build
Recruitment / agencies	Daily new-vacancy feeds across Scotland, sliced by sector or region
Compensation & benefits	Salary benchmarks by sector, region, and contract type for Scotland
Talent acquisition	Competitive intelligence on what other Scottish employers are paying
Researchers / journalists	Scottish labour-market datasets across all sectors
Workforce strategy	Skills-demand mapping using the structured skills[] and coreSkills[] arrays
ATS aggregators	Real recruiter apply URLs (Aplitrak, Workday, PeopleHR, etc.) for redirect-and-track use cases

📥 Supported inputs

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

URL pattern	Behaviour
https://www.s1jobs.com/jobs/{location}/	Listing by location (e.g. /jobs/glasgow/)
https://www.s1jobs.com/jobs/{sector}/{location}/	Listing by sector + location (e.g. /jobs/accountancy/glasgow/)
https://www.s1jobs.com/jobs/{location}/{contract}/	Listing by location + contract type (e.g. /jobs/glasgow/permanent/)
https://www.s1jobs.com/job/{slug}-{numeric-id}	Vacancy detail — fetched via /api/job/{id} JSON

Easiest workflow: apply your filters on s1jobs.com in the browser, copy the URL out of the address bar, paste into startUrls.

Not supported:

• Company profile URLs as a starting point (they're fetched automatically as enrichment when org enrichment is on)
• Hosts outside s1jobs.com / www.s1jobs.com

⚠️ Proxy requirement

s1jobs.com IP-blocks many cloud / datacenter / generic proxies. You'll want a UK residential proxy. The actor defaults to Apify Residential pinned to country: GB; if you see consistent connection timeouts, you may need to bring your own pool (Evomi, BrightData, Smartproxy, etc. — any UK residential exit node works).

🔄 How it works

1. Classify each startUrl as a listing URL or a single vacancy URL.
2. Walk listing pagination (?page=2, ?page=3, …) until <a rel="next"> disappears or maxItems is reached.
3. Fetch each vacancy via /api/job/{id} JSON — all the structured data in one call.
4. Optionally fetch the vacancy's HTML page once to extract lat/lng coordinates (only field not in the API).
5. Optionally fetch each unique company profile page once for the company website + a fuller description.
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://www.s1jobs.com/jobs/glasgow/"]	s1jobs listing URLs and/or vacancy URLs. Mix both freely.
enrichOrganisation	boolean	true	Fetch each unique company profile once for companyWebsite, companyDomain, and a fuller companyDescription. The vacancy JSON API already includes the company name, logo, accreditations and a short description — disable this if those are enough.
includeCoordinates	boolean	true	Fetch each vacancy's HTML page once to extract lat/lng. Disable to save one HTTP call per vacancy when coordinates aren't needed.
maxItems	integer	1000	Hard cap on jobs collected. s1jobs has thousands of jobs across Scotland; 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, GB	UK residential proxy strongly recommended (s1jobs IP-blocks many other proxies).

📊 Output overview

Each scraped vacancy is one single dataset row of type: "job". When enrichOrganisation is true, the company's website, domain and a fuller description 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

Why does the actor need a UK residential proxy? s1jobs.com IP-blocks a wide range of cloud, datacenter, and generic proxy networks. Direct connections from cloud-hosted runners frequently time out. A UK residential proxy (Apify RESIDENTIAL group with country: GB, or your own pool) is the most reliable path. The actor's default proxy config already pins this.

Where does the apply URL come from? From s1jobs' public JSON API: /api/job/{id} returns application_url.application_url directly when application_method is "url", and application_email_address when it's "email". No JS evaluation, no click-through resolver needed.

Why is vacancyUuid different from jobId? jobId is the numeric ID in the URL (e.g. 126751069); vacancyUuid is s1jobs' internal UUID for the same row (e.g. 2b47dff6-3bc0-4752-9a9d-b3a6ee20a109). Both come from the API; use jobId as the stable join key.

Can I scrape private pages or applicant data? No. The scraper accesses only publicly available pages and the public /api/job/ endpoint — no logged-in content, no recruiter-only views, no candidate data.

How do I limit results? Set maxItems. The actor stops walking pagination as soon as the cap is reached, so a maxItems: 100 run typically only fetches 3–4 listing pages.
