SimplyHired Jobs Scraper

Turn SimplyHired into structured US hiring data — with salary numbers and map coordinates on every row. Scrape every job from any SimplyHired search URL — title, employer (with star rating and logo), location with real lat/lng, structured salary (min/max/unit/currency), qualifications, benefits, job types, posted date, and the full HTML description — pulled from SimplyHired's own JSON data routes. JSON or CSV out, billed per result.

How it works

✨ Why use this scraper?

• Structured salary on most rows — min/max/unit/currency parsed by SimplyHired itself, not regexed from text.
• Real map coordinates — latitude/longitude on every located job, ready for radius filters and mapping.
• Employer ratings — each job carries the company's SimplyHired star rating, logo, and company-page URL.
• JSON data routes, not HTML scraping — fields come from the site's own framework payloads, so they don't break when the layout changes.
• No proxy cost — the scraper's TLS fingerprinting passes SimplyHired's Cloudflare gate without residential proxies (a fallback is built in).
• Expired listings skipped automatically — you're never billed for dead jobs; stale search results are detected at the detail step and dropped.

📥 Supported inputs

Input	Example	What happens
Search URL	https://www.simplyhired.com/search?q=nurse&l=Chicago%2C+IL	Walks the full result set via cursor pagination
Search with filters	/search?q=driver&l=Dallas%2C+TX&t=fulltime&fdb=7&mip=50000	All filter params pass through (job type, days back, min pay, sort)
Remote search	/search?q=developer&l=Remote	Location accepts "Remote" like the site does
Direct job URL	/job/{jobKey}	Scraped as a single job
Keyword + location fields	keyword: "accountant", location: "New York, NY"	Used when Start URLs is empty

Not supported: company browse pages (/browse-jobs/companies/…) as start URLs, and features behind a SimplyHired/Indeed login.

🔄 How it works

1. Bootstrap — one page fetch reads SimplyHired's __NEXT_DATA__ blob: the current buildId, locale, and page 1 of results come free.
2. Stream the search data route — 20 jobs per page, cursor-based pagination; details start processing while later pages are still being fetched.
3. Fetch each job's detail JSON — description HTML, structured salary, coordinates, qualifications, employer rating, dates, flags.
4. Skip expired listings and duplicates, apply the optional recency filter.
5. Push one merged row per job — capped exactly at maxItems. If the site deploys mid-run, the buildId is refreshed automatically.

postedWithinHours	integer	—	Finer-grained recency filter on postedDate

📊 Output overview

Each dataset row is one job with everything merged inline: stable jobId (SimplyHired's job key), employer block (name, rating, logo, company-page URL), location with coordinates, structured + raw salary, qualifications and benefits chips, both description formats, ISO dates, and status flags (expired, sponsored, isIndeedApply). Fields the source doesn't provide are null — columns never disappear between rows.

❓ FAQ

Do I need a proxy? Usually not. The scraper's browser-grade TLS fingerprinting passes SimplyHired's Cloudflare check directly, and a residential fallback engages automatically on retries. A user-supplied proxy is honoured as an override.

Does it return the employer's direct apply link? No — SimplyHired routes applications through a session-bound redirect that can't be reliably resolved server-side. applyUrl is the canonical SimplyHired job page (one click from the real form), and isIndeedApply tells you when the job uses Indeed's apply flow. If a resolved ATS URL matters to you, check the eFinancialCareers actor pattern or email for a custom build.

Why did I get slightly fewer rows than maxItems? Search results can include listings that expired minutes ago. Those are detected at the detail step and skipped (logged as skipped in the run stats) rather than pushed as junk rows.

Can I filter by job type, minimum pay, or recency? Yes — either put the site's own params on your start URL (t=fulltime, mip=50000, fdb=7) or use the postedWithinDays / postedWithinHours inputs.

What happens when SimplyHired deploys a new site version mid-run? The data routes briefly 404; the scraper detects this, re-reads the new buildId, and continues — you'll see buildIdRefreshes in the stats.
