Computrabajo Scraper — Ofertas MX/CO & salary

Computrabajo scraper for LATAM job boards (mx.computrabajo.com, Colombia, and sibling country sites). Export ofertas Computrabajo as one Dataset row per listing: title, company, city, salary if public, offer URL, and ofertas cerradas status when you check a public offer page.

HTTP-only (no Playwright): search pages are SSR HTML (/trabajo-de-{keyword} + ?p=N). Cards already carry salary when Computrabajo publishes it. Optional enrichDetails opens the oferta for JobPosting JSON-LD. computrabajo api-style export — not a multi-board dump.

Computrabajo returns ~20 ofertas per search page. Paginate with ?p=N until maxItems. Residential proxy country follows the query (MX default; CO if you hit computrabajo.com.co). Enable it on Apify if you hit 403/captcha.

Why this Actor: public salary on the card when shown · ofertas cerradas via 410/404 on public offer URLs · country-aware proxy · cheap PPE per Job

curl "https://api.apify.com/v2/acts/noahadler~computrabajo-jobs/runs?token=YOUR_TOKEN" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{
    "keyword": "desarrollador",
    "country": "MX",
    "maxItems": 20
  }'

Then fetch the default Dataset items URL from the run object.

Use cases

• Computrabajo scraper pipelines for aggregators who already pull InfoJobs / HelloWork.
• Ofertas Computrabajo salary research (field is filled only when the board publishes it).
• Ofertas cerradas monitoring from a list of offer URLs (ABSENCE / closed check).
• computrabajo api lead lists: company + offer URL (no email scrape).

---

Limitations

• Search list is live ofertas — Computrabajo does not list expired jobs in /trabajo-de-…. Closed status is a public offer-page check (410/404).
• salary is null when the employer hides pay.
• Does not harvest emails, phones, or CVs.
• 403/captcha → use Apify RESIDENTIAL + the country of the query. After repeated WAF, the run fails honestly (no fake rows).
• Computrabajo LATAM only. Not LinkedIn, not Indeed, not OCC Mundial.

This Actor is a catalog / learning jobs SKU (same HTTP pattern as InfoJobs + HelloWork). It is not in the same Store publish wave as those two heroes.

---

FAQ

Do I need Playwright?
No. v0.1 is HTTP + Chrome TLS impersonation against the public search HTML.

Can I paste the URL from my browser?
Yes. searchUrls must be Computrabajo search pages (MX, CO, …).

Which proxy country?
The Actor injects apifyProxyCountry from country or from the search URL host when you leave it empty. México queries → MX.

Why is salary null?
Many ofertas hide pay. The field is filled only when the card (or JobPosting if enrichDetails) includes it.

What is an oferta cerrada?
A public /ofertas-de-trabajo/… page that returns 410/404 or a “ya no está disponible” message. Search results are open jobs.

What happens on hard failure?
One Dataset row with error: true and an actionable errorMessage (often “enable RESIDENTIAL + MX”).
