Unstop Jobs & Internships Scraper

Scrape hackathons, jobs, internships, competitions, quizzes, scholarships, workshops, and conferences from Unstop.com — with deadlines, prizes, eligibility, registration counts, skills, and organizer contacts. Fast API-based extraction, no login required.

How it works

✨ Why use this scraper?

• 8 opportunity types — hackathons, competitions, jobs, internships, quizzes, scholarships, workshops, and conferences, all from one actor.
• No proxy, no browser — Unstop exposes an open JSON API. The actor hits it directly with impit, so runs are fast and cheap.
• Three input modes — browse by type, keyword search across titles and organizers, or paste direct opportunity URLs.
• Full detail enrichment — optionally call the detail endpoint per opportunity for prizes, eligibility, organizer contacts (email + phone), and job salary fields.
• Per-result pricing — you pay for opportunities collected, not for run time.
• Structured output — clean normalized rows with ISO dates, registration counts, views, skills, tags, and SEO metadata.

🎯 Use cases

Audience	Use case
Campus recruiters	Track live internships and entry-level jobs by skill or industry to build early-career sourcing lists.
Hackathon organizers	Monitor newly posted hackathons and competitions by domain for participation or sponsorship scouting.
Scholarship advisors	Collect open scholarships with eligibility criteria for student counseling tools.
Market researchers	Analyze registration counts, prize sizes, and organizer activity across opportunity types.
Lead-generation teams	Build structured lists of active organizers running opportunities for B2B outreach.
Job-board operators	Feed structured Unstop listings into job boards, newsletters, or student portals.

📥 Supported inputs

Input	Example	What it does
Opportunity type	hackathons	Collects every live hackathon, paginated.
Search keyword	ai	Searches titles and organizers across all selected types.
Listing URL	https://unstop.com/hackathons	Collects that whole type.
Single-opportunity URL	https://unstop.com/hackathons/medha-ai-ml-hackathon-...-1760434	Collects just that one opportunity (full detail).

Not supported: organizer-profile pages, user dashboards, anything behind a login.

🔄 How it works

1. You provide a keyword, one or more opportunity types, or direct URLs.
2. The actor classifies the input and hits Unstop's JSON API (/api/public/opportunity/search-new for browse, /api/get-global-search-data for keyword, /api/public/competition/<id> for direct URLs).
3. It paginates through results (10 per page) with sliding-window concurrency, deduplicating by opportunity ID.
4. When fetchFullDetails is on, it calls the detail endpoint per opportunity for the full ~100-field record.
5. Each opportunity is normalized into a clean row and pushed to the dataset.
6. Export as JSON, CSV, or Excel from the Apify dataset.

⚙️ Input parameters

startUrls	array	[]	Direct Unstop URLs. Overrides keyword + type picker.
fetchFullDetails	boolean	false	Call the detail endpoint per opportunity for prizes, contacts, and job salary.

proxy	object	none	Not required — Unstop's API is open.

📊 Output overview

Each dataset row is one opportunity. The listing endpoint already carries most fields (title, type, organizer, dates, registration counts, skills, status). With fetchFullDetails on, the row is enriched with prizes, eligibility, organizer contacts (email + phone), and job salary fields from the detail endpoint.

❓ FAQ

Do I need a proxy? No. Unstop's API is open and returns clean JSON to datacenter IPs. The proxy input is there for edge cases but defaults to off.

How many opportunities are available? Roughly 2,100 live at any time across all 8 types (hackathons ~270, competitions ~410, jobs ~640, internships ~680, quizzes ~60, scholarships ~5, workshops ~100, conferences ~20).

What does fetchFullDetails cost? One extra API call per opportunity. The listing item already carries most fields; the detail endpoint adds prizes, eligibility, contacts, and job salary. Turn it on only when you need those.

Does the keyword search return everything? Unstop's keyword endpoint is autocomplete-style and capped at ~27 results per query. For a full result set, browse by type instead. Combining a keyword with a type runs the per-type search too.

Is login required? No. All endpoints used are public and anonymous.
